Thanks for the link! When I've got more experience wilding 'at home', I want to trundle Henry around Brittany..........I think it's the 'what if the Van breaks down abroad?' Q that nags most!!! (Henry is 24 now...)

they have garages and mechanics in france as well!!!

in fact , because it is a much more rural country there are still a lot of small local garages ; just fine for older vehicles that don't need all the diagnostic equipment which force you to go to main agents with associated prices that make my eyes water

dont worry .brittany is more like cornwall than cornwall is today. sounds daft but you know what i mean. brittany is the best place in france . helpfull quiet and very friendly. lots of british there so lots speak english . but it helps if you learn some french . have a good time ,you will i,m sure.

Lebesset:- True....there's mechanics worldwide...but You don't always get a good (or honest!!) one when You need one, 'specially if You're pushing or towing the motor in!!!

vwalan:- Je parle un petit peu de Franglais!!! ('Cept I remember whenever I tried it out, getting an '...Oh, You're English!' reply

Cheers for the encouragement Lads, penciling in for next Spring...& keeping Henry 'lubed & maintained 'tween W/Ends away!
