Great news indeed. We pick up our van to-morrow and will be on our way. We will stay at La Manga for a while to get over this experience. I shall post about our problem in full when I am more composed. In the meantime, I urge you all to check your small print. With hindsight, I would have paid for insurance to cover engine, gearbox, rear axle etc. But hey Ho! that's life.
