Come on holiday with us :) - VIETNAM BUDDYMOON TOUR 2024

BUDDYMOON DAY 789/1000 (VLOG 181)
What was suppose to be a lovely time traveling through the wine region of Northern France and checking out Verdun, an area that was heavily contested during world war 1, we ended up spending our time fixing out beloved van.
Once we left Luxembourg, we started having a 'Service engine now' alert pop on our dashboard. This would put our Ford Transit into limp mode and restrict the car from traveling over 90kph or rev the car over 2500rpm. This was starting to become a huge issue when doing long drives and it's about time we put an end to our car issue so that we can continue traveling to all countries in Europe.

I know you want to make your videos but life happens and you both are coping so well. Keep on working together and supporting each other. I like every video you make even if it is fixing your van or Leanne cooking. You both look so good and your great positive attitude will help you continue with your adventures. I was sad that you were sad. But i have every faith in you both because you are so resilient, resourceful and skilled. You are both able to deal well with new and difficult situations and to find solutions and that makes me like you both even more. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Hello friends, Welcome to France. I'm sorry to see the issues with your car and finally you both fixed it. You can do everything inside your car such as eating, sleeping instead of hiring a house or staying in a hotel. The best thing having this kind of car is saving your money. I wish, everything in your tour be successful without any issues.

    Oh yes I have an old OBDCII that I plug into my car, I brought it when I went to buy cars as well (all used lol). I do want to get one with an App like you have. Also if you drive a lot they have the packages where the readout is constant like any of your gauges. That's handy to have the status in real time! Anyway yes, include the maintenance and repairs in these vlogs, it's all about the VanLife journey...not all Instagram pictures 🙂Oh my gosh I can't believe you had to hot wire it, but you essentially created a DIY Push to start switch/button like what a lot new cars have lol :-)))))))

    Don't worry about the spiders and bugs in france theres nothing that can hurt you, not that i would fancy sleeping with the spiders 😂 I also have a transit custom camper and have never had bugs getting inside not that I've noticed anyway so maybe you just stayed in a spot with loads and loads of spiders.. you would think if anything would get in it would be ants but not a common issue either.

    your dad does not know much either , you replaced the fuel filter , the fuel system needs to be Bled . as there is air in the system , you should have put new fuel in the fuel filter . and then crank the car . you are not a mechanic , leave it to people who know what they are doing .the OBD reader is only as good as the person using it .

    Roy, I myself (Daniel) have built 2 cars. Did the body work and rebuilt engines. The same cars today have gone over 100k miles. Bleeding the fuel lines can be done but all it would do is kill the engine due to air in the pipe and then once the air is out, It will be running fine. I know an OBD 2 reader can only take you so far but it has helped us fix the car. I also think there is no harm in learning a little bit about your own car so that if you are stuck in the middle of nowhere, at least you can get yourself out the scenario😁
