stranded in yorkshire..

[huff_diggler]

well, how peeved off am i? very!

decided to take my mum on holiday for a week to skipton with my caravan, so without delay, trotted up the m1, surf doing a steady 60-65, superb on the juice too, got here on 40 quid (260mile) talking to my mum about how i should trust the satnav more as it was telling me to take a different route, so i followed, i took me across what can only be descibed as single track 20% uphills, then she started getting hot, to cut a long story short, she's popped her head gaskett! might be more , cant get no garage to fix her till tues afternoon, so i'm running about in a rented ready for it.. ford kaghhhh!

goddammit!!!

Bugga! If you need the caravan moving to a safer place let me know.

appriciate the offer bud, she's getting looked at tommorrow after lunch, getting the work done weather it be gaskett or head, it will be worth every penny. back soon folks...

Damn bad luck mate. I know from experience that sat nav isn't always right, it once tried to direct me down a slipway into the river Tyne!

I noticed by your previous posts that this was on the cards, " oil and sludge in header tank" It's just one of those things that seem to be fairly common with the surfs imported into this country.

Hope you get it sorted satisfactorily.

update! had to come home and leave my surf in yorkshire, the mechanic now dealing with her is a very good friend of my dad so i know she is in good hands, my dad rang me when i got home yesterday to say that my surf engine was in a million pieces, and the good news? it's just the gaskett thats gone (phew!) and the rest of her looks in great shape, it looks like the head has been changed before (dunno how you'd tell) told him to stuff a new cambelt on too, being i have no record of it being done

methinks if you refer to her as 'the wife' she may not be playing any tunes, my adorable would string me up by my gonads for calling her that.......that and the 'C' word, she just hates
