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! Sometimes they missed checkpoints even though they had been ticked off, which resulted in the customer having to pay for things that were not even done...!

Sewerage problems and quick help

When you have a sewerage problem, you need help fast. We know, because we have a lot of experience ... unfortunately. Last autumn, we had recurring problems with our sewage pump in the houseboat, sometimes resulting in days without water and sewage. The worst thing is not having no water, but having no place to empty the sewage ... When it was at its worst, we had to live in the motorhome for a few days.

A light bulb broke in the front and we had to change it. It should be easy, you'd think, but it was a bit tricky. The whole light housing had to be unscrewed, with several screws, to get access. But now we have a new working lamp!

But now we have finally managed to get it repaired, and now we finally have a whole ladder for the motorhome again.

Easter weekend in Trosa - nice at the caravan park

Now we are in Trosa guest harbour. We did not have time to prepare much before we left. We filled up with diesel, LPG and water at a petrol station on the way. When we arrived, we had to start the water and get some heat in the car ... In any case, it's great to finally be out with the motorhome again!

Trim your motorhome - get more horsepower

Today it was time to trim the car. 28 wonderful horsepower extra and a completely different torque. We went to the workshop and a guy put in the trim box in five minutes. The box is 5×10 cm, so it's not difficult to fit.

The engine light on our Fiat is on

The engine light on our Fiat is on and it started when we crossed the Alps in Austria. It was on the uphills that I pushed the car the most. We made our way to a Fiat as soon as we entered Italy. The car went into a safety mode with 20 per cent less power, so that nothing would break. Hmm and me wanting more ...
