Hesitantly, tentatively, we're cautiously optimistic that Jasons managed to fix the Eberspacher (or Eddie-Basher as mum calls it) :-) After his efforts in the workshop and under the bonnet, she was running for 3 hours last night and has so far been on for another two hours this morning. There was a slightly worrying tiny amount of smoke drifting out of the unit for the first half hour or so yesterday, but we put that down to moisture inside the box as well as all kinds of crap getting infused into the felt gasket next to the glow plug that had to burn off before she would fire up cleanly, and so far our theories seem to be holding out.
So fingers crossed we're now all back on track. We'll spend some time today going through all the things we think we 'must' do before we leave and how long they'll take, have a rough estimate at how long we'd like to take making our way to Barcelona (snow a possibility in the mountain passes now!) and then book the ferry (again!). It's been a bit of a pain having to change plans at the last minute but its not all bad - at least we got to watch the end of the F1 season!
Claire - snow only on the tops of the mountains here... all passes open. However the route to Barcelona is low-level past Perpignan, apart from a small diversion to our place if you're still going to be able to make it!
