I think defenders have an aversion to France! When we went last year my td5 dropped all it's fuel at Portsmouth Dock and then again 100 miles into France Rolling Eyes

Told the dealer weeeeks ago about it
300 miles to a tankful , driveway covered . But oh no we've done a smoke test and there's no leak I was told . Perhaps the video I took of it P' ing out will convince them .

If it was petrol could rub a bar of soap over it and would seal it temporarily.

Not very helpful for diesel though....

Hope rest of the trip goes well!

Good luck Keith, I know the feeling! Last year, the (now gone) D3 developed a huge leak over night in France! It was draining the 80-odd litre fuel tank in just over an hour! An engine to TDi for!

Rolling with laughter ye man but his body language quickly changed when I blew my Leslie RS3L horns at 200psi right next to him . It was nearly a case of man overboard . The echo went right round the port of Zebruggar and there was more than my diesel spilt on the ramp . Rolling with laughter
