I'm ready with my chalk

 

We did the deal about 13:30 and then spent 2hrs in the sainsburry's cafe tring to get insurence as our bods don't do vans (now we know). Then it was a 2 vehicle convoy back the Lincolnshire me Diving the new van (no name yet).
Motoring along in think rain with wipers going full plet and then around 80 miles no wipers. flashes Mrs TW and pulls on to hard shoulder and just about to pull the fuse and I he a voice, its the motorway muppets (nice chaps today). Explains the problem and pulls the fuse , fuse OK bugger. So the nice chaps suggest driving to the next services (about 4 mile). We are now a 4 vehicle convoy (me no visibility)
By this time I had notice no indicators, no speedo and the van had lost that get up and go feeling.

At services and thanked the very nice men and made THE CALL.

Another very nice man arrived as stated in THE CALL, checked battery no that's a good one so its on to the (have you guessed yet) yes the alternator. Thats not right he says Im getting no reading so its away with modern tech and a big mental pole tech. BASH BASH BASH no still no go.

He makes the THE CALL and yet again on time very nice man No. 3 turns up (bet you know what's coming )

















At 21:40 we are moving again
























and home about 24:30




Thankyou to the BIG YELLOW TAXI Co.


PS
this is the second van we have ever brought and the second to breakdown on the the way home (Ruby I got home, no taxi)

 

I thought I'd be clever as ask google for a "van drawing" because they always throw something special up. WRONG. I can't post up what it showed as number 1. And there is something on page 2 too.
