OK. So I was being over confident and drove off the tarmac into the verge. A bit of a drop, but nothing compared to some pot holes. Heard a big bang and steering went really hard, difficult to steer back onto the tarmac. Pulled over to check. All looked OK. No restart as fuel cut off had been activated, thinking I'd crashed.
Friendly YouTube told me where to disable the cut off and on I drove.
But I could hear a noise. Pulled into a Sainsburys car park. Had a good look underneath. Rear passenger tyre being shredded on the inside as it's touching metal.
A knowledgeable tyre man said I'd probably bent the rear suspension. The
insurance have passed us to Halo Portsmouth who can't get a large recovery vehicle to us till Monday.
We we supposed to catch a ferry tomorrow morning to start our Morocco trip.
We have Goldschmidt rear air suspension. Do you think the big bang was our rear air bag exploding? Could it also have bent the suspension?
Any idea on repair time?
The silver linings are that it happened here. And that Sainsburys has a never ending supply of red wine.
