Hi Helena,

Do you mean this one, (at the bottom of my reply)?

There were three of them in the same little cobbled street...........and each one had a black oil patch around it. Mad

BTW, we had a pleasant telephone conversation with the insurers, indicating that the whole unpleasant experience, (mainly with the repairers) was approaching closure, with the imminent receipt of an envelope by post, which should not be mistakenly thrown away as junk mail. Wink Wink It may be a bit heavy, If you know what I mean.

Cairngorm, I hope you don't have to wait much longer. Is the MH still useable/legal?

Jock.

No for once it was just a against the plastic. So it is legal and usable ,but probably not sellable. Cairngorm

Is there a hidden story to Lazydays, by your rolling eyes. Cairngorm


I will leave it to others with first hand experience. Suffice it to say that as a technical advisor for the Dethleffs Owners Club, I have heard certain "stories" that would indeed make me roll my eyes! Sad

In this instance it seems that Dethleffs are holding up there hands to "not receiving the order" and Lazydays are emphatic ,that the order was placed. At least its progress. Cairngorm

It's good news on the repair front.After waiting for seven months I can report that once more my m/h is fixed and all is well.

Glad to hear it Cairngorm, but keep your eyes upon the items repaired/replaced.

Believe it, or not, even today, seven months after collecting our vehicle from the new engine installation, we still haven't reached complete closure, as I have had to pay out a large sum of money, (to us anyway), for another repairer to correctly diagnose a minor oil leak, rectify, and correctly set up the headlamps, due to A N Others negligence/incompetence.
Our bill has been presented to the engine installer, and the insurers have been informed.
We wait in anticipation. Shocked The work is still under warranty.

Jock.

My first crunch with a brand new MH was on day 2 of ownership when I reversed into a tree in my own garden upon returning home lunchtime after showing the lads at work our new toy. The Mrs has never let me forget it!
It bent the corner of my special steel bumper which was straightened and paintwork made good before I went back to work.
I couldn't leave it could I?
