Gonna Costa Lota Moola

arrived home after a disastrous trip, was heading north to warmer clime but broke down, stuck in a c/p for a week waiting for engine part and even when that was fitted the diesel motor was only getting half revs so decided nothing else for it but to head home.
took it to local mechanic and am told it looks like new motor but wont know how bad till its dismantled and checked .
quick quote ---could be $4500 to $5500 at worst.
It used 5 litres of oil in the last 600 Ks, oh well at least when its done i will do some more travelling , will be spring wont have so far to travel

It's always something, isn't it? If not at home, it's the vehicles. Good luck with it, Kevin, hope things get fixed better than ever.

Yowzer! Sorry to read about your major problem. But if you like to travel, it's a bullet you must bite.

mostly i stop in caravan parks but to save money-----from hereon i will have to free camp longer luckily here in Aussie land its still safe to pull over for a few days at a time in the good spots

Can you get a salvage motor, Kevin? This happened to me when I was teaching and doing lots of traveling. The school's auto mechanic class
got a salvage motor and put it in for me and it didn't cost very much.

thought of that --but --- could be buying someones trouble and be back to where i am , so will have to recon the motor to be safe in the future
