For reference: VW LT 2,4l Diesel motor code “CP” Here is a video taken on February 17th 2022, a few months after the initial breakdown of the van during the longer trip. It is Finnish winter here, so the outside temperature was in the minus degrees (Celsius). In the next few weeks and months I…

Finally a good reason to test out the traveling features of this lovely van and going for a longer trip: My idea was to go to check out an old Mitsubishi Pajero 4×4 in the south of Finland about 6 hours driving time away from home. The 4×4 would be a good addition to our…

Sunday, 4th of July 2021. We packed all our things from grandma’s house and moved permanently into our „work-in-progress“ house. It is a bit of a trade-off but still we thought it is worth it. Our house is not ready, by far not but still it made sense at this point. What do you really…

The topic of these days is finding water leaks and (quick-) fixing them. The quest continues… As a little surface mold could also be seen on the other (left) side of the van, I went to the roof to see wether there were some obvious wholes or problems. I found an area that looked like…

Quite a while ago I started to see that the area around the side door is wet and the paint starts to peel off. Time to go for cause. The outside light Didn’t start so obvious… I found the wood that was used to fix the window curtains to be wet at first. When I…

This lovely fellow has to have a hard time with us. It’s only place is outside under the naked sky and fully exposed to everything the Finnish winter has to offer: Snow, water, really cold temperatures, and sometimes – maybe sometimes – also sun and a bit warmer temperatures.Since quite the beginning I realized a…

How many times do you actually listen by purpose to a song and take the words really into your mind?
