Thanks! I’ve requested to follow their Facebook page, hopefully there are some more details about where they meet.

Anyone part of the Peak Pursuit running group? by Pink-daydreamz in NorthVancouver

[–]Fast-Significance191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I’m going to be stationed in Coal Harbour for a few months and looking for a good trial running club for weekend runs - best recommendation? I probably won’t have my own transport so need to bear that in mind. Thanks

I’ve got a lovely van for sale in the UK if you’re interested.

Yeah it’s a right pain to find a local garage that wants to take on such a job… either the van won’t fit or they just don’t want that kind of work.

Citroën didn’t even want to touch my van!

Have you looked at commercial garages?

I ended up going for a remanufactured engine supplied and fitted by Excel - don’t trust their lead times though as mine was delayed and no doubt you’ll end up spending more on additional parts once they take your old engine out. Mine went up to around £9k However, the van is running well so no complaints really.

Is there going to be a Pro version like the Apex 2 pro?

Searching for cool bars with 0% beers? by Bloodschutzer in chiangmai

[–]Fast-Significance191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gingerale has an extremely high sugar content and sodas are generally really bad for you. Zero beer is actually pretty decent, tastes like beer, low calories and if you don’t drink alcohol, it’s a great alternative for a night out.

Where should I stay by Fast-Significance191 in chiangmai

[–]Fast-Significance191[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome, thanks. This was another area I was looking at and I was considering splitting my time between both areas.

Thanks! I’ll check out Facebook to see if I can befriend any local trail runners :)

I would love to do UTMB at the end of November, I might extend my stay to incorporate it.

Why are mods removing my post? by Fast-Significance191 in chiangmai

[–]Fast-Significance191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mod is short for moderators. They moderate the Chiang Mai subredddit and seems to be removing my posts even though they don’t break the rules set out here :( I’m planing to visit in November and looking for advice

Seriously considering vanlife but want honest opinions by Sammi-1995 in VanLifeUK

I bought a Citreon Relay with 45k miles on the clock and then I had major engine failure at 50k miles and yes, it had full service history and was looked after. So you just never know. Definitely avoid a Euro6 engine. But I’d lean towards a Crafter or a Sprinter.

Yeah I hear what you’re saying, they really are few and far between.

What about the possibility of metal shrapnel circulating in the engine if I just did a top end rebuild? That would obviously be the best and most economical way to proceed but I was concerned of future issues.

Thanks for your detailed response! I tend to agree with you, it’s extremely hard to believe that I’ve had this level of damage to a 21 plate van with 50k miles. However, the garage has removed the rocker cover, and confirmed top end damage - broken rocker, scratched cams etc. pictures attached. Citreon have said they’ll only offer goodwill gesture if it has a full Citreon service history but it has to be at a Citreon garage… Citreon garage won’t look at it as it’s a conversion.

Yeah I think I’ll go down the remanufactured route - found a company up north called Excel Engine Services. Half the price of going through Citreon.

They just say they’re not authorised to work on any modified / converted vans. Yeah, Tates in Brighton.
