Hi all,
Well disaster happened yesterday. Driving merrily along on our way to La manga and -bang-. Loads of oil smoke from exhaust, loss of power. Pull over on the AP-7 and oil all over engine. Start it again and it is running all lumpy with no revs. Luckily we are with Comfort insurance, so ring up and within an hour along comes the Spanish RAC, load all 6 tonnes of motorhome onto his flatbed and drives us off to the Merc garage in Cartagena. By this time it is past 7 p.m and the garage shuts at 8 p.m but they had a quick look at it and said that somehow, all the oil is being pushed out of the crankcase, suspect blown piston.
Our insurance sent a taxi and put us up in this nice hotel. Today out here, is a bank holiday so no work done on the motorhome until tomorrow when they hope to find excact cause. So fingers crossed although it does sound terminal.
