kaput in Deutschland

Fixed

All mended and driving again.

Not cost me a penny, just wasted off the road time.

12 month warranty on the latest new engine starts today.

In Germany this week, in a car, we drove under the very bridge where we initially broke down and waited for the rescue truck.....we love to tempt fate.

Great news
 
AMAZED - what a saga

Since this saga started I have been employed and travelled Ireland twice, as well as attended 2 weddings and a funeral, plus got up to lots of other things. Quite amazed at the bad luck.
Enjoy Swizzerland, it might snow.
 
I am surprised at this info you provided for many reasons.
1. Your info and opinion I often enjoy, so a little surprised this survey info used
2. Cars and Vans / LGV are not the same comparison in that they are designed to do very different jobs
3. You used an American survey thus not comparable to UK in my opinion. A guide only.
4. Lexus IS Toyota really so the survey could include them.
5. Seat are good but not that good - read UK Which? For latest review of cars.

I believe I can suggest that fiat, Renault and Citroen joined as a collaboration to design chassis and mechanicals in late 80's so should not all of these vehicles be counted as 1 supplier.

Off to get MH ready for Devon meet - I'll await for jovial replies.

Should include - it is still an ambition of mine to call in Pontivy to enjoy a cups and a chat. One day I will pass through.

I wonder how long before the Big Bang happens again. Get it on flea bay while it still runs.
 
Still smiling

Learning to drive the big fecker again.

First day trip to the seaside a bit of plastic broke on the fridge door lock (£8) and a skinny lane claimed my electric hook up flap (£8).

On the plus side all seems fine with the engine.
 
I followed the POI and ended up the worst road I have ever driven on, went up a track that got smaller and smaller, had to reverse all the way back, felt bad for the poor old girl. Trees scraping along side the van, not sure if anything fell of tho.

Could you tell me which POI so I can add a warning?

Thanks ...
 
Update

All going well again.
Just back from Wales for a week and averaged almost 33mpg!!!
Plodded along any motorway at 55 and used the weight of the van downhill in a hyper-miler style.
Not bad for a 4.5 tonner.
 
Bringing back the memories

Car insurance company contacted me to say they did not have my little migrant incursion payout on their database.

Different company, different vehicle, from a not at fault claim two years ago.

That will be £28 extra please.

Gotta love 'em.

Will need some wine tonight for therapy.

BTW off tomorrow in the motorhome for a quickie one nighter.
