Broken down...............

FLYING BANANA · 15th January 2017, 12:09

.....................in Banana on the A142. Been recovered to MJS with possible HGF.
Banana dumped all her coolant. Had the police make sure I was ok. 3 cars stopped and asked if I was ok. First breakdown, Manchetts, confirmed the HGF.
now on the back of a low loader to Thurrock services where a second recovery truck will take me to MJS.

Then I'll get the train home

sorry to hear that Bob. hopefully you get it sorted and back on the road asap.

Ah no! and she had been doing so well for these last few thousand miles. At least she will be in good hands with Mike, and all will be well after he has worked his magic.

Hi Bob, that's not good, you are doing too many Miles in her. Hope no lasting damage.

Not good. Hopefully nothing too serious. Has your HG not been changed before? If that is the case, it shouldn't of gone again...
