The Highs and lows of Bongoing

Post by bongobaz » Tue May 18, 2010 1:11 am

Great day today went off to Newcastle Under Lyme to get the baby undersealed
grand job done pics taken and everything drove back to sunny Dudley then
2 miles from home
Temp needle flicks to max,
coolant alarm goes off.
Pull over in pub car park pool of coolant under motor.
Greenflag job home.
Nightmare starts again.
Always be ready for a Top Up!

Bad luck. Hopefully not a nightmare (thanks to low coolant alarm) but just the vicissitudes (love that word) of owning an old campervan (I await my turn). Good luck getting it sorted.
