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

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.

Don't automatically believe what the breakdown services tell you Bob.
Dumping all the coolant eh? Hmmm. Simon

Whatever the cause, the major concern is for Bob freezing his nuts off with no heater in a broken down motor, anybody with proper understanding will diagnose the problem, and perform a lasting fix.
Stay safe Bob, and hope all goes well. |
