Hey @Michael, could you move this thread under our Scandinavia section, please.

I will start this by saying that having an radiator issue in sunday in middle of night and in middle of holiday season while being tens of kilometres from the nearest road is not funny. While I was driving in remote landscape, I noticed that the engine coolant temperature started to rise and...

We overland enthusiastics usually try to be prepared for everything when heading to our journey, but sometimes something happens with the car, equipment, gear, food, water or clothes, that just leave you wondering "is this the biggest failure ever". What is your story? Did a flat without spare...
