Our first Trip out!

Hi guys, Some of you would have seen my first post about our Apollo and Navara. We bought a 2nd hand Apollo and Mazda pick up about 3 weeks ago. The idea was to put the Apollo on the Navara we have, but after reading about the chassis problems and also not wanting to put loads of miles on the Navara...

Re: New member needs help with Apollo revamp

Ok Guys, I have just spoke to my mechanic and he says the parts we need for the Mazda will not be there until Monday. So I am not sure what to do, as we cannot bring the Apollo down to show you guys. If we came down, we would have to camp, which I am not keen on as last time this played havoc with m...

Hi Martin,

Re: New member needs help with Apollo revamp

Hi all, YET another set back. This is becoming a saga! Now between us all :-) we have decided to upgrade the Mazda and make it good for taking the Apollo I thought I best insure the Mazda. So I phoned my current insurer ( Autonet Insurance ). Everything was fine until I mentioned the demountable cam...

Re: New member needs help with Apollo revamp

Thanks Mike & Zildjian, What you both say makes good sense. The Mazda is being done at the moment. They are changing the worn suspension for new handmade springs/leaves which are set at 6T not the normal 4t. Something like that. The only thing is, I imagine we will get it back on Friday afternoo...

Re: New member needs help with Apollo revamp

Thanks Zildjian, What you say makes good sense to me. Also makes me feel better knowing my mechanic words are sound. Yes we drove the Mazda back when we bought the Apollo, so about 90 miles. It felt OK to drive, not as comfy and high up as the Navara, but felt OK to drive. Also I feel it was better ...

Re: New member needs help with Apollo revamp

Guys I need more advice ! As I mentioned the Apollo came on the back of a 2001 Mazda double cab (95,000 miles ). My mechanic has had a look at it and says it needs new rear springs and stronger ones, plus steering needs sorting and front disc brakes. Something along those lines. Basically it will co...

Re: New member needs help with Apollo revamp

Hi all, Thanks Zildjian, I got your email with the number in. I will add it to my phone and email you my mobile also. Mike, I will definately wait to do anything until I meet up with you guys. This might seem like a silly question, but I am slightly concerned about the fact the double beds sits over...

Re: New member needs help with Apollo revamp

All you guys are so helpful and already make me feel better about my damp problem ( no not on about my underpants!). We will make sure we get down for Thursday or Friday next week to the airfield campsite. Maybe I can get mobile number from Zildjian or Mike in case we need to call. I am happy to giv...

Re: New member needs help with Apollo revamp

Zildjian, do we need to phone up and book the campsite for Friday next week, or have you reserved plenty of spaces?
