so I posted this here - but this deserved a post of its own.
About my woes and how distraught I was regarding the trouble I was having fixing my motorhome air suspension.
I had so much good advice messages of support ideas etc etc... I had offers from Armytwowheels to get some one to find source and pick them up on their way back from Germany, I had detective sleuths tracking down part numbers, links to German companies etc.
Little did I know that the answer was on my doorstep, literally. He who goes by the name of Flairy or "Brian" to me now got in contact to say that he had 4 brand new ones in a box he had picked up to replace his 20 year old ones. We weren't sure they would fit, but Brian literally lives 15 mins from me. I therefore got mine off, drove it over and low and behold they were exactly the same.. Brian let me take it away and even ordered another to replace it and a spare for me. Not before Brian and his wife had shown me round their lovely van that they have cherished for such a long time.
I am normally such a rounded individual who has learnt to deal with stress over the years and turn it in to positives. But sometimes the things that seem so trivial to others can just throw me over the edge, this was one of them things. I have 3 weekends of races coming up, campsites booked and no idea what I was going to do.
Then of course there is that well know "expert dealer of Hymers and Niesmans" that are still yet to call me back, yet to sort the part, yet to give me a price for fitting it despite 3 phone calls and 2 emails of which they have responded to 1. I know we aren't allowed to shame dealers so I won't but the service is diabolical.
SO A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO BRIAN...
coincidently the last time I was in a similar position and having a major panic, that wonderful funster allso called Brian aka Hilldweller came over and sorted that out, so clearly, Brian's are best.!!!!
If you have air suspension, get a spare bellow (or two) really not sure how mine broke, only that the bottom bolt came away, it could leave you stranded on the side of the road, and if you have to head to a certain dealer, you might remain there for months!!!
thank you everyone, faith in humanity restored.
Distraught owner seeks help...
I‘ve sent the picture to my MoHo dealer (NiBi dealer for Suisse) he‘s also a Goldschmitt installer and “may have parts“, they are well stocked. He‘ll call me tomorrow AM. Plan B the Goldschmitt place opposite NiBi in Polch ? They do lots of the post factory upgrades for NiBi customers.
