I guess you already know but others reading this may not. In a manual vehicle always press the clutch pedal in as it takes less effort from the battery and starter motor.
its weird its a thing iv alllwyas done since passing my test , must just be an old school thing cos my lad dosnt do it
Hope all goes well for poppy. ❤
Thank you 🙏
❤️ you both! ❤️ Doug and ❤️ Poppy!

Hi how's your dog ?
Hi guys hope everything turns out well.
How brave were you two to venture up there
I was craping myself and I was at home with the heating turned up
Good luck
Thank you so much, it was actually warmer inside the van than it would of been in a house, thanks for your kind comment 🙏
Neil Emma I got everything crossed for poppy mate I had tears when you were talking about her sure she will be ok god bless
I am praying for that little one.
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it ♥️
Yeah Motorhome life seems good to me , no one knocking on your door and no one being nosy and earwigging your conversations as in my case i live in a flat block and its a nightmare , not had a good nights sleep in 3 years as people come and go all the time and when i go out anywhere everyone can see everyone else from the flats windows no privacy at all and workmen parking in residents spaces so ive sadly had dings and dents on my car door , Im at the point now of telling them to all P off and just living in a motorhome so i can get peace and quiet away from people. Also hope Poppy will be ok , Animals are better than humans.
Really hope she pulls through. Please keep us updated on her progress ❤
Thank you so much for the support we really appreciate it and you xxx
You are shush lovly cupell brock my hart waching how wored yous are about your little babby stay safe letitia from Scotland ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for the lovely comment ♥️♥️
@UrbanVanlife how is she l trying to find your new one not good at this stuff l hope your all doing well stay safe all your fabulous little family Scotland is the best at winter l so proud to be a Scottish lady moving back home next winter can't wat
Neil, Emma we really hope everything goes OK for Poppy. Sending all our love Mark and Jane.
Thank you both ♥️
Click click click and not turning over might be a sticky starter! I had this on my Diesel Escort years ago, and if you keep trying you can burn out the loom. But rocking the vehicle or tapping on the starter can get it to disengage and then let you start. 👍 Loch Morlich is deep, you don't want to go in! ;) I enjoy paddleboarding round it in the summer! Hope your wee pooch pulls through!
Yer we tried all the old school tricks but I think it was just frozen . It got there in the end and never happend again which was a bonus . One of them freak things
Please let us know how poppy is wasn't expecting that
Hows poppy doing x
Just found your site love it ,its funny my husbands is Scottish,his name is Dougie and a massive Liverpool fan also so glad little poppy is getting better next time your in Scotland be glad to meet you both😊
Hahaha it was ment to be . Doug’s a great name and Scotland is amazing . Thanks for calling in to say hi hopefully see more of you
❤❤❤
♥️♥️♥️
Loving this guys, hope the dog is ok. Not that it’s a high priority but they do sell winter covers for the fridge vents which are also handy to fit if the vans parked up not in use.
The vents are held in with a quarter-turn clip & you can tape some foil over the inside to block the draft.
Make sure the batteries are good in your carbon monoxide detectors if you're running the fridge on gas.
How many days ago was it -9
We was up glenshee
Last weekend it was cold then
Our van froze solid
Spent a few hrs under the van today hopefully made it a lot better in the cold weather
DST out and about
We were up there while the video was out mate well 2 or 3 days before and after . . And yer it was a little nippy out there lol
Great content. How is beautiful Poppy? Sending love ❤
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
GET SOME SMOKELESS CANDALS from the dollar store warm as toast...
ohhhhhh we love the dollar store , we are uk baised but spend time in the usa and those stores are all over the place there brilliant ,
what i see. the tones used an pointing making the dogs confused and think you are mad or sad.. horrible!!! but hey all for the money of youtube eeeey!
I’d like to point out after reading this comment several times, I can’t figure out whether you’re being horrible or you’re just a sad little man I am so confused because it makes absolutely no sense . Please re-comment explaining what it is. You actually mean in a way that normal human beings can actually understand. Thank you love you XXX
Hope poppy gets better mate. Happy travels and stay safe from cold those temperatures seems quite crazy.
cheers buddy , we kind of like the cold to be honest its fun
just a 1000 quid for a place to live in?? What a bargain.
Granted it needed a little tlc but yo can’t moan at a fixer upper for that
Have you done the crossover rod to the flap fix yet?
You remove the rod and pin the butterfly valve open.
Done nothing like that
Thoughts and prayers that she will be ok, we have been there and know how painful it is. As you say she is a fighter and please let us all know asap as we are all worried x
The k you so much for the kind comment it means so much ♥️
I told you about the bananas 🍌 engine thay are brill. My " Norman" is 24 year old he doesn't like hills lol but steady away he always makes it. Lovley to see doug out and about 😊xx
Yep you sure did . And totaly on point as well . If only all engines were like that plus the fuel economy is unreal . He just dosnt want to use any at all I’d say half of what eva uses .
@UrbanVanlife yep that's true about fuel ⛽️ can i ask you also how lithium battery perform under the bonnet. Were going to upgrade thanks x
Wishing Poppy all the best, thinking of her 🙏 sending lots of love to you all 💖 xxx
Thank you 🙏
Make sure Emma signs her life insurance policy BEFORE you send her out onto the ice !!!!!!!! Great video, never thought of going to Scotland in winter before
I might sign it but I would hide it …. 😏
Great video beautiful scenery we’ll done will be watching more in the future 👍
Thank you so much! 😊
In 6 days only wash the dushes and not yourself ?
😱😵💫😷
We would love to reply to this but it may need some more understandable English adding to it
Doug seems to be doing very well - sounds like a right trek along those roads but he seems to be doing you proud! Loved the icicles!
Really great scenery. Looks so different in the snow to when we were there. Great area and how great you both have gone full time now.
Well done both.
We sincerely hope Poppy pulls through - sending our love ❤
All the very best, David & Rachel 👍
Doug did us proud that’s for sure and thank you so much for your kind words about your little girl ♥️
Hows the puppies doing. Hope you are all well. A did message and say dont come up just now. Niel says lets go to the Cairngorms 😮😮😮😮. Well im so glad it all worked out for you stubborn couple lol. X
What an amazing adventure. I rode around those roads in the summer on my little 50cc moped the whole way around Great Britain.
Sending you all my best wishes and hope Poppy is back up and running soon. I know it’s a worry but she is in fantastic hands. Keep us all up to date with how she is.
Thank you for the kind comment it means a lot and it sounds like you had an amazing adventure of your own! So cool!
Oh, poor Poppy 😢
Great new format Vlog, loving your work, keep going.
Thank you so much!
I subscribed to follow the dogs!
That’s probably the best reason . ❤️❤️
That van is unbelievable. Looks really cosy, and drives through anything! Well done, and thankyou for the tour.
Thanks for watching!
No words. Lost in thought. ❤
Get an electric blanket out of argos in aviemore. Use youre power bank. Toasty toasty
it wasnt cold in the van mate , just the top bunk but with the cold its probably acceptable , but it was still to compact for us
@@UrbanVanlife youll be up there neil. If you keep. Surprising Emma with big purchases. Keep us all posted about Poppy x
Ahh the old whack the starter motor with a 4x2 problem on the banana engine. Great vid as usual.
Loved your vlog.. hope Poppy & yourselves are doing ok x
Thank you so much ♥️
Good old di transit will go forever. Sounds like you might have the start of a starter motor issue
We lost our fem Chow 9 months ago & male 6 wks ago. It’s just devastating.
Wishing Poppy & pups all the best 🥲 such a worry x
So sorry to hear about your loss, it’s heart wrenching when anything happens to them as they are family xxx
Sending our prayers and love praying she will pull through x
Thank you so much ♥️
Oh gosh how things can turn really hope poppy is ok she in the best hands and they work there magic on her and her babies 🙏🙏
Thank you so much for the kind words ♥️
Feel for you hope it all works out for you alot of people dont realise how it feels what your going through went through the same with my sausage, my
thoughts are with you ❤
It’s one of the most horrendous things we have gone through, thank you so much for the lovely comment ♥️
Cold start, out of gear and press clutch down then start, good luck
Not bothered about the van in the best way possible,but how is the 4 legged baby
There is a common problem on transits not sure if it affects yours though? The ignition switch gets dodgy contacts on it. You'll get ignition lights come on, but the dodgy starter connection makes the starter flick intermittently. They are really cheap, and only take minutes to change.
Yer we think it’s the starter solenoid sticking . Mainly due to the cold , it was blowing a gale that night and I know if I’d have been out there any of my under bits would have surly frozen . But it didn’t happen again
What’s going to happen to Doug when you have finished with him? Selling him off or a raffle?
Oh gosh I really hope she will be ok, sending u all so much love and gentle hugs x
Thank you so much for your kind words ♥️♥️
Doug will go and go yea best engines smiley ones.lovely scenery. I hope your dog will be OK. Take care Neil and Emma x
Thank you 🙏

Keeping everything crossed 🤞 for Poppy, eagerly awaiting next video to find out how she did. Broke my heart to see you so upset. Loved the views of the winter wonderland Keep safe all of you ❤
Thank you so much for the support we really appreciate it and you xxx
Replace the starter. It's faulty
its weirdly never happened again , we think it was just the cold , i dont think it was ment to get that cold , if it happens again im going to get it off and send it for a service
Yeah ok fair enough. If I were you, I would grab a new one and keep it in the van somewhere just in case it does it again and won't work at all. Not too hard to change
Wishes to poppy all the way xx
Thank you ♥️
Great video guys I've passed it on to 4 other people sorry for your upset at the end. Ray K UK YNWA.

Thank you so much! ♥️
Wishing your little lady all the best sending hugs and love ❤❤👍👍
Thank you so much for the kind words xx
Great video guys, Doug did well 👍
He has been amazing so far!
Still watching this video; it's so good. Look at the transformation of this motorhome. You have done so very well.
Aaaww thank you, he still needs some work but when we return from Ireland we are going to get back going on him!
Walking out on the Loch is an extremely irresponsible thing to do, especially putting it on YT!!
As would base jumping . Rock climbing . Messing with electrics or watching any Colin furz content . But if I said put ya hand in that fire would you ??
Get those pipes insulated
I can help you with any information you need to help the battle against the cold weather.its my trade.
How the dogs are ok to .
Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for the support we really appreciate it and you and yer the pipes need lagging for sure
