[@bassmastersteve3609]

That whole OBD2 thing was actually was very enjoyable to watch! I actually learned from that!

[@thebuddymoon]

Glad you enjoyed the video😁we were hoping it could teach people a little bit about cars😜😁 but glad we you learnt something😁

Beautiful country beautiful location view❤

[@amim7359]

Hi you lovely people! So sorry to see that you are having problems with Big Red. But Dan you are amazing at solving your problems. I know you want to make your videos but life happens and you both are coping so well. Keep on working together and supporting each other. I like every video you make even if it is fixing your van or Leanne cooking. You both look so good and your great positive attitude will help you continue with your adventures. I was sad that you were sad. But i have every faith in you both because you are so resilient, resourceful and skilled. You are both able to deal well with new and difficult situations and to find solutions and that makes me like you both even more. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@amim7359]

[@thebuddymoon]

Definitely blesses in that regard😁❤️

[@ashikihsan1946]

Hello friends, Welcome to France. I'm sorry to see the issues with your car and finally you both fixed it. You can do everything inside your car such as eating, sleeping instead of hiring a house or staying in a hotel. The best thing having this kind of car is saving your money. I wish, everything in your tour be successful without any issues.

[@StartLivingNow1963]

Another Awesome Adventure Thank You Buddymoon 🙂❤👍Safe Travels 🙂There is a special tool for taking the oil filter off. 🙂

[@thebuddymoon]

So glad you enjoyed the video😁 we saw that tool in a store after servicing the van😂😂 Murphies law😂

[@alanchandler254]

The thing I dread breaking down abroad. Well done for being so calm about it. Camping Gaz are the only universal bottle, one of the reasons it is so expensive. Looking forward to next video

[@KerryMoody-qs5jy]

I really admire you both! Smiling in the face of difficulties… and good old dads are always there to save the day. I hope the rest of your journey goes alot more smoothly. I’m really enjoying your vlogs ❤😊 xx

[@shirleyperera7859]

Wish you had done a full service to Big Red in UK. Anyway best wishes and God be with you both for a safe journey here onwards.

[@thebuddymoon]

We wanted to but it’s too expensive in the UK, was planning to do it in Morocco but the van problems got to us first😜 but at least Big Red is all serviced now😁

[@alljoy6541]

Love what Dan said , as a South African you have to make a plan, talk about team work , Leanne even helped with the repairs, great travel companion. What a time to be alive, to see such a stunning place. Happle travels.

[@hernanvalverde3693]

[@raymonde4272]

Well done for getting a temporary fix on Big Red, hopefully Dan can clean the contacts himself to save some more money. And congratulations to Leanne upon learning portion control when buy minced meat.

[@thebuddymoon]

Hahaha definitely learnt some portion control😂😂😂 but Big Red is sorted for now💪

[@SM-wf9by]

Oh wow, you guys have had some awful luck. I'd hire you anytime Leanne, but you'd need to get more than your little finger oily, you little princess you! 😂❤, good job you've got such a clever Danny with you though, to get you through your troubles. Glad to see you're on your way, keep safe and hope big red doesn't let you down again. Looking forward to your next post. Good luck 🤞 with❤❤.

[@jadziak6997]

Oh yes I have an old OBDCII that I plug into my car, I brought it when I went to buy cars as well (all used lol). I do want to get one with an App like you have. Also if you drive a lot they have the packages where the readout is constant like any of your gauges. That's handy to have the status in real time! Anyway yes, include the maintenance and repairs in these vlogs, it's all about the VanLife journey...not all Instagram pictures 🙂Oh my gosh I can't believe you had to hot wire it, but you essentially created a DIY Push to start switch/button like what a lot new cars have lol :-)))))))

[@talsingh451]

Regardless of what happened, Daniel is a great handyman. He can be a carpenter or a mechanic. I need to up my skills, but I don't think I would ever be that great with the things he does.

[@ariana116]

I've been shopping on Temu for a long time and haven't had any issues.

[@thebuddymoon]

We have also never been disappointed😁

[@marxningshen9401]

Finally you guys are back 😅 oh! car problems it’s happen without notice .in bright side thats ,still a part of journey. Later on, that will be the story to tell about journey or Europe.

I’ve used self checkouts and several countries and I SWEAR France was the hardest to get a hang of. Options for checking, options for bags, payment option, then hit pay so it charges the card 🤦‍♀️ And the attendants get annoyed.

Hi buddies 🤘

[@borisbongo9494]

Don't worry about the spiders and bugs in france theres nothing that can hurt you, not that i would fancy sleeping with the spiders 😂 I also have a transit custom camper and have never had bugs getting inside not that I've noticed anyway so maybe you just stayed in a spot with loads and loads of spiders.. you would think if anything would get in it would be ants but not a common issue either.

[@thebuddymoon]

Can only hope they not dangerous spiders😜 but still don't want to be cuddling them when sleeping😂😂 how are your travels in the transit😁

[@aimgorge]

The only dangerous spider in France is the black widow. It's still limited to southern France and very rare, it's not agressive and the venom isn't that dangerous. Snakes aren't too dangerous either, both their bites are generally not fatal.

[@thetransferaccount4586]

atleast the good ending

[@LetsChillPage]

Hi everyone, from South France, 🌴🌞 This French cemetery is one of the explanations of why the French people are tired of the endless American bashing of World War II and that we're supposed to be cowards because we surrendered. We lost so many soldiers in World War I ⇾ France: 1,397,800 dead and 4,266,000 wounded; USA: 116,708 dead and 205,690 wounded; Great Britain: 885,138 dead and 1,663,435 wounded. In 1914, France was at war with Germany for the second time in less than 50 years (the first was in 1870). World War II was, for us, the Frenchmen, the third war against the Germans in 80 years. And Germany triggered the hostilities each time. There was so much suffering and so much pain in French families. Peace, folks. ☮👈😎

Are you guys an official couple or married? If that's the case then I'm pretty sure the 180 days won't apply as you are travelling together

[@kaushikmada]

Pro tip. Next time you've to change fuel/oil filters, basically any cylindrical unit that screws onto anything, use a belt wrench. Saves you that entire mess and the dirty face. and teeth🤣🤭

[@thebuddymoon]

We were looking for it but only found it on a store after servicing the van😂 would of been super handy to have it😜

I haven't watched it yet, but dispatches did a documentary on temu it wasnt good, toxic and contaminated products.

van is so rusty near oil filter

[@pedroriding]

That rust needs to be sorted ASAP before it fully rots

[@SattenapalliGeetha-fq4ek]

.

[@royjennison3916]

your dad does not know much either , you replaced the fuel filter , the fuel system needs to be Bled . as there is air in the system , you should have put new fuel in the fuel filter . and then crank the car . you are not a mechanic , leave it to people who know what they are doing .the OBD reader is only as good as the person using it .

[@thebuddymoon]

Roy, I myself (Daniel) have built 2 cars. Did the body work and rebuilt engines. The same cars today have gone over 100k miles. Bleeding the fuel lines can be done but all it would do is kill the engine due to air in the pipe and then once the air is out, It will be running fine. I know an OBD 2 reader can only take you so far but it has helped us fix the car. I also think there is no harm in learning a little bit about your own car so that if you are stuck in the middle of nowhere, at least you can get yourself out the scenario😁

Well done Dan
