Set off this morning with Lou in Dorothy..(44 est)..for Princethorpe..got to Kettering and pulled in for coffee..
Returned to Dorothy and she wouldn't start..2 and a half hrs later i got her going..with Eric's help on the end of the phone..
Turns out to be a fuel pump issue so turned around for home

..but only got as far as Stansted Airport

...now waiting on recovery

Put the kettle on..more tea needed.
Can I buy another Daf yet..?..

Your mistake was pulling in for coffee. It should have been TEA!

Since Dorothy is a daily it might be worth looking into. John

Can't expect them to last forever. I know a man up the road from him who has a lovely ultrasonic cleaning tank...
