So,

Having spent money here there and everywhere on many different things, the thing we seem to be missing is finding someone to spend some time with us to go over how the look after the vehicle before and during the trip. Here I am talking about servicing and maintainance and any other tips and tricks.

Now, I understand there are a lot of people with vast amount of experience, some of whom are probably saving hard for the next trip. So I was thinking (dangerous) surely there is someone out there who could spend a weekend day with us, going over this, and we could pay them whatever was a fair wage for a days work. Surely this makes sense?

So I suppose the questions I have are:

Is there anyone out there who would like to do this?
What sort of wage is a fair wage?

Feel free to PM me, or just reply to this isf you fancy it or have some points to add.

We have spoken with plenty of garages, but to tell they truth they are just too busy to really help, even though they are happy to try and help. The same goes for various land rover freaks we have met. I think this is the best solution.

I suppose the criteria we might have is:

Overland experience
Vwery good landie knowledge
Local ish to Southampton
Nice person

I know there are lots of people in the long term planning of trips, perhaps this could be the start of a business !! (10% cut for me )
