Hop on a plane and I'll set up the trailer tent outside the workshop for you to stay in :lol:

Hi All , thankyou Andyrew for your offer of help . Thankyou also Scottie Donkeychomp . Just an update .
The Upol Gravitex white Schutz is ordered , I,m picking up the Ep90 and antifreeze Friday .
I,m going to Aldershot Friday morning to underbody wash Helens truck ready for Schutz and load it on a trailer ready for sunday . Will let you know a time soon Scottie . We met scottie for the first time last Saturday , awesome guy with a nice fleet of trucks . Has some interesting friends with some interesting machinery including a particularly nice zzr1100 :thumbup:
Will remove all the recovery gear and response equipment from Helens truck and deliver it as light as possible .
our overriding an immediate impression of this forum and its members is one of huge determination and enthusiasm also of boundless generosity .
The light is bright at the end of the tunnel and for that we are both immensely grateful
Helen and Ian :thumbup:
P.s our friend from Poland look forward to drinking cider with you and kicking tyres :thumbup:
PPs Scottie , we need the reg of your truck to prepare engine swap paperwork for Dvla :thumbup:

Odd, they didn't bother when I did my engine swap. I just told them I'd swapped a G13a for a G13ba and they were happy with that.

That was 3 or 4 years ago though...

If you change capacity and fuel type it's a bit more complicated.

Ian I'll send you the details later.

But I,m sure you have a trick or technique ? Anyways the chassis looks lovely and the truck will be proceeding up the M4 tomorrow .
And I hope to be coming up the coming weekend to give you a hand if you don't mind ?
Thankyou so much for your help and commitment in this
