As you may remember, 45 miles before the gearbox decided to die in the motorhome, we had a wheel bearing collapse on the trailer.
It went in a BIG way and damaged the axle.
Up shot is the folk in France cannot get anything like it and say they can have one made in four or five weeks.
The cost of this, plus the fitting etc etc will be somewhat more than the value of the trailer ( £800 )
So I now have to get to France and collect the car, and they are keeping the trailer waving the parking fees accrued ( not mentioned before ) in lue of them keeping the trailer :-(
All I will have to pay them is the recovery fee to take the trailer off the garage forecourt on the motorway to their garage ( 2 or 3 miles ) which I suspect will be about 200 € from what I can gather.
Hope to do the collection on Saturday if I can find someone willing to jump on he back of my bike and then drive the smartie home
I must thank Frankie ( @yodeli )for being an absolute god send by being the intermediary in all of this.. I think I would never have got anything sorted out without her help !
