Hi Shocksi

Thanks for your reply,

Ive found Motor Home Medics at Staverton (by Swanbrook) who are small and independant and dont seem fazed by the mention of a Talbot! she is booked in for a service next week.

Cheers

hi gladys a good choice of vehicle and easy to get parts for .

Hi Guys

Well Im now £290 lighter! due to full service today...yikes.... She's driving alot lighter as she now has 60 in the tyres instead of 40. The floor is springy and they think due to previous damp but nothing going on now. The main guy Martin was very good. He said I shouldnt spent any more money on her until Ive used her for a year and decide she's for me. He said the spare tyre is gone and although the rest have good tread they will probable have some weakness inherent in the side walls and maybe if Im driving her on my own I may risk a blow out at some stage...so as they are only £50-60 each they suggested I think about replacing all of them.

My first trip away is 3-4 July in the Lakes so I'll get it sorted for then. Weekend after is Cornwall to see family. also got booked Beachy Head for 7 august, as well as Port elliott Festival 23-25 July. So it looks like I'll get some quality time with Ness. Im alreday feeling much more confident driving her...less tension in the neck and shoulders!
