Yesterday should have been a good day. We were picking up our new motorhome. A brand new autotrail Comanche with top spec. Anyway we arrived at dealer everything was perfect the van was gleaming. And I must say I was happy. So we leave the dealer and head for home. Everything was fine new auto box was smooth, the smell of new leather in the air, the m40 was clear, then some thing gave way in the engine. It sounded as if you had a pebble in the tumble drier. Instrument panel saying oil pressure!!! So limped into Warwick services I did. So underneath i go, no loss of fluid, no obvious fault, so call rac camper assistance, explain I'm ex rac patrol and need a low loader ect ect. 2.5hrs later rac arrive in a van.. To my amazement he said the same as me " you need a low loader, engine u/s" seven hrs later we get recovered to Coventry and find our own way home. Needless to say I'm still in bed and don't wana get out of it. We should have been on the south coast today but hey that's fiat for ya..
