The ferry we missed sailed to st malo, and to our destination from st malo I had worked out it would take us about 2.5/3 hours not rushing, but the ferry we ended up taking docked in Caen so another 1/1.5 hours were added to the journey time. Of course the second break down added another couple of hours on top of that too, so for us it took 6 hours

Thanks for the information, I hope future trips run smoother for you. V8 90...WIP |

Ha ha no worries. Because the ferry we took docked earlier we actually got too our destination at the same time as originally planned (even with the break downs) it was just a little stressful for a few hours great holiday after that though. We've decided to go to the same place next year and do a little further afield exploring next year as long as the defender holds together

Well at least it hasnt put you off! So it was a fuel line that caused al the fun, I suppose thats just one of those things, Ive got a load of tape and circlips and other pipe repair stuff so if it does happen I will almost definately be able to make a very poor attempt at roadside repair before calling the AA Michael was just telling me a story about a friend of his who slept with a land rover, lonely nights in the desert..

Yeah, fuel pipe and the new part was only £15 genuine! (Lost about £100 in fuel ) But that area of France is lovely. Hope you enjoy your trip
