A couple of successful days!
Spent time with a family in central france while the mechanics replaced an engine that blew a cylinder head gasket and fixed a few less major pieces on other vehicles while we were there, including the ‘temporary’ mend on our rear brakes made at the roadside. This took a little longer than expected and we had to call in more favours by buying diesel from his local friend (also an expat brit) as we discovered a few vehicles gasping on a Sunday night when all local garages were truly shut. Convoy rolled to Bordeaux where we finally rendezvoused with our last vehicle who had a delayed start due to a family funeral but still beat us to southern france! They had arranged rooms and take away pizzas all round so very popular with the team. A good night’s sleep was had by all!
Monday morning and the A team mechanics replaced the alternator of the final team member due to a noisy bearing. Ready to roll by 9am and hit the local Carrefour hypermarket. Fully stocked, we then set off to get a few miles under our belts heading through southern France to Spain, direction Madrid.
