|  D'oh! Well, I've been meaning to post for ages, just to say hi again after a very busy summer, but now I find that I am posting because of a problem anyway. Ol' Bertha has served us well this summer touring back and forth to conferences and even a 10-day 1,200 mile trip to France. But on Friday a she stalled on me twice when stopping at junctions, then as we made our way home from dinner with friends when *pop* we lost pressure and billows of white smoke burst from the exhaust as we made our way up the A36. The AA guy has diagnosed a head-gaskett  and Bertha is now laid up on the drive.Bob is hopefully coming this week to give us his wisdom and take the head off if necessary. And yesterday I almost bought another Bus altogether as this one would have been cheaper than repairing Bertha - albeit an older model with slightly less miles on the clock the our Bus. The eternal question - is she really worth fixing? | ||||||||

| Re: D'oh! Sorry to hear that. As to whether or not repair....the old chestnut raises its head again. Personally, if the head has gone but there are no other faults, then I would. If you buy another bus, then who's to say the head won't go on that in a few months time? At least if Bob repairs the head for you, you know it is good for years to come ( hopefully  ).
