Running Rough

See this picture of my uncle's dog Ziggy?




He's a good boy but unfortunately he is exactly how our kombi Jefro is running at present - like a dog. Suffice to say, we're lucky we're not stranded in a little town outside of Mount Gambier right now, after spending two nights there trying to fix the blasted van. He's been coughing and back firing and basically just behaving badly and stoping poor ol' Luke from having a good night sleep from worry.

Anyway, we've solidered on after Luke did some running repairs and after meeting a few Tom, Dick and Harry's along the way who all put in their two cents worth as well (Water in the fuel? Bad petrol? The points may need adjusting? Maybe replace the condenser? How about a new engine????). But we're not trading him in for a Britz van just yet. He's booked in for a once over at a VW mechanic in Adelaide with a very good reputation - so good in fact, he has a minimum two week waiting period. And we're taking it super slow until then.

Yours now scaried to tackle the Nullabor in a car from the 70's,
