So one week to go til our holiday and we have a failed MOT.

We have:
missing fuel filler gasket
A rust hole near the front seat belt

and a blowing exhaust to fix.

with only a week to go a swift order for parts was placed and a search for a welder available at short notice commenced.

Maisie returns......Finally!!

After a rather extended stay at the garage and several delays we finally had her delivered home today. The lack of updates is really due to lagging enthusiasm as sunny weekend passed by with Maise still lingering the workshop.

The work is unfinished and looks rather ugly at the moment but she drives and should be ready to get everything sorted for camping. We go away in a week and a day and we need a new MOT.  Test booked tomorrow and tools at the standby to deal with any problems.

The van was cleared and rock and roll bed refitted this evening. A quick check of all the lights etc and she is as ready as she can be in the short time available.


 Fingers crossed.
