Van tastic

Yesterday, back to the fold cae the VW, running like a sack of shovels.

Back to the garage it goes today.

The Xsara is better news of sorts.

Bought with a dead clutch, it seems the problem was hydraulic rather than mechanical. That has saved about 300 pounds.

The engine management problem seems to be located in the fuel tank where some fool was trying to run a modern HDi engine on a cocktail of kerosene and vegetable oil. This could be serious bad news if the previous was doing that for a long while unlikely though as the thing was not running at all on this fuel.

The VW needs to be done though as it is crossing the channel again next week.

Must make sure there are no strikes promised.
