They do get a bit boring don't they JJ. I sometimes wish something would go wrong, just so I could attempt to fix it. I should have stuck with those RVs :rofl:

Marvellous what a few quid back hander, a case of cheap plonk, and an eye flutter from a French chic will get you.........

I noticed in my most recent trip to France, a lot of real old rustbuckets, belching smoke, around. Does France have an MOT test?


You passed us then????? *cough*

Yep. Can't pass the MOT with an engine that doesn't rotate.

True.......So what happened to your engine?? Hun from the sun at angels 15 sent you a Blighty one, and stopped the old Merlin dead.....OR, did it just stop rotating???:):)

It used 4 litres of oil in 180 miles. Then sounded like a bag of chisels in a large shredding machine, but not for long. To be fair, it was 35 years old and had done several hundred thousand miles. The old style O-ring valve stem oil seals had, apparently, long since rotted away.

Excuse me...

How did a thread about a beautiful, classic, European designed and built, top of the range motor home degenerate into discussing poxy engines for ostentatious Yank Tanks?

(Unless, of course, it is an Airstream which would be a different story altogether.)
