Some of you know that my fan packed in on the way to SCH. I crawled the last 4 miles and finally arrived. Many thanks to Maffey, Neil, who rigged me a switch to get the fan going thumbup Well, 5 miles from home, yup, broke down again, this time a suspect coil !!!!! The car engine would just cut out, cool the coil in a tub of water and hey presto it runs again but only for a few hundred yards. Anyway I got a tow home as it was to close really to call out the breakdown truck. SCH, was it worth all the problems, HELL YEAH, the run out to the Ponderosa was awesome, camping was great and seeing all the S`s on show is rather special, just need some spares and driving away again.

Steve you don't have much luck with S Club!

Break down there and back this year, plus I seem to remember you having some sort of issue with your brakes last year hehe

Hey Tom, imagine the sorrow if I`d had troubles on the run out, not to mention the language laugh

I reckon its those white stripes Steve hehe
Or maybe that bad-boy exhaust is sucking out your engine internals? Have you looked inside the rockers to see if there's anything left in there ?

K hehe
