And with great thanks to Jonny Java and all at VWJava Daisy is back on the road....... but with the MOT on the horizon, for how long!
It was an engine "out" job, so the opportunity was taken and new CV and Axle boots where fitted, the old had split, and also a leaking oil seal on the flywheel changed as these were "easy" to do with the unit out. It seems it was not a straightforward job, (are they ever?) and several "adjustments" where needed, including a new accelerator cable as the old one was not "right", and some "messing" with the seating of the carb., as the new manifold dictated so.
She seems to be running fine now, but Jon did point out some "little" things that need attention, most we are aware of, some not so, but taking these, or the cost of them, if we got them all done tomorrow, then we think that Daisy would be worth more than what we would have spent........................ But owning a camper is not about that, its about the experience... the fun, the freedom Taking what it has cost us to keep on the road, against what we would have spent per night on accommodation alone see`s in the "black".... but add the things we have done, the places we have been that we would not have without Daisy...... there is no value to be placed on these!
