My lovely, but very badly behaved van broke down the other day (again!), left me completely stranded in the middle of the road – I had to be towed home by a very kind passer by with the right kind of vehicle (land rover).

Tired of constantly being in the hands of the mechanics I decided I was going to find the fault and fix it myself.  So I did.  I went from a dead van to one roaring to glorious healthy life after I’d diagnosed the fault, bought the bits I needed for the repair, performed the surgery (it was touch and go there for a while) and then started her up – bingo!!  There are few things in life as satisfying, take it from me.  Then as a reward, and to calm my frayed nerves, I went here for a walk…

Happy days….
