First weekend trip and Norman DIED in traditional fashion !
I'm typing this sat next to a pitch black dining room in a haunted castle in Wales, where Norman was supposed to be bringing us for the weekend. Changed the oil just before we left, good thing ? BAD MISTAKE. It appears that the oil change dislodged some muck that was in the sump and clogged the oil ways to the top of the engine, result - 1 dead camper on the M4 just this side of the Severn Bridge. We finally got back home about 11pm thanks to the RAC, and swapped over to the Peugeot Van, and finally got here at 2am ! What a Friday 13th that turned out to be. Engine is knackered, maybe could get away with replacing the top half, but would prefer now to fit a lower mileage engine back in, but the upshot is that Norman will be off the road for a while whilst I raise funds. Camper conversion is now on hold for the foreseeable future :(.
