Oh no! Just when we thought everything was going smoothly with ol' boy Jefro the kombi, his sliding door goes and slides right off! Well, not exactly but the little roller in the door has warn all the way through (it happens after 30 years of use), meaning the door won't close without a hideous scrapping sound, that sends a shiver up my spine.
After a fellow kombi dweller at Geraldton caravan park told us the story of how he bought a roller door slider from Bunnings to replace HIS broken door, we thought we could do the same (as kombi mechanics and spares are few and far between in northern WA). But after Luke and Simo worked for a few hours trying to fit the thing, it was clear that either the VW guy with no teeth was telling porkies or we'd lucked out with the size of the slider we'd bought from the hardware shop. Never mind. A phone call to a kombi parts supplier who said they'd send the necessary part to meet us at Exmouth post office and we're back in sliding business. Phew!
