...there are some benefits of staying in the UK, though.
Been attempting to arrange a meet with the B-i-L for months (best part of a year actually). With settled (but perishing) weather we set off for Henley in the motorhome and had an afternoon with him (plan was to walk along the Thames "towpath"", but as that was well underwater an amble around town had to suffice).
Yesterday and today have been spent on two twelve mile walking in the chilly Chilterns - very sunny but very cold (my favourite weather for walking). A very enjoyable session.
I was tempted to have another day tomorrow, but the motorhome threw a wobbly on the way down. The airbag light is on. I have the software to diagnose and the airbag ECU is borked. It's a very common problem on this vintage of Ducato and not unexpected as it had a little niggle some weeks ago.
Replacements need coding to the vehicle, and at c£250 aren't cheap. (I have the software to do the coding however). There's a thriving independent trade in "reflashing" failed ones, though, at around £60, and no coding required as it's the same unit. 3 day turnaround by post, so I'll try that first.
Just have to make sure I don't crash on the way home now
