Motorhome fixed - at last

Advertisement

This morning we hung out at the garage in Caen while they fixed the most pressing issue - the coolant hose. When we left a couple of hours later, the engine light was still on, but they promised that it wasn't an urgent problem and that we could check it out later. (They didn't have time.)

Today we spent the whole day at a car repair shop in Caen here in France.

Yesterday we received both an international driving licence and an international camping card in our letterbox. We have ordered both from Caravan Club.

Car repair shops are cheating

This post is written in collaboration with bildelar24.com

Not so long ago, Motormännen and Kalla Fakta revealed that there is a lot of cheating going on in the workshops where you hand in your car. A number of workshops were asked to carry out ordinary service jobs, and as many as 7 out of 8 failed!
