Any chance of the spare room Andy

 Is the Commer full then?

MG Mark

Yes. Of mildew!

I poked my nose through the door on saturday just to see how things are. There appears to have been a slight leak from somewhere (the open window is my guess) and it's let in quite a lot of water. The carpets have had it and it's blown the plywood at the bottom of the cupboards.

Didn't I mention there a price to pay for the Gatwick parking! Bring some rubber gloves and a stiff brush.  ;)

Andy,
How do you intend to collect this fee given that you will be on a different continent?  Are we just to leave them on the doorstep waiting for you to return and make good use of them cleaning the old girl out in readiness for her yearly sojourn to France?

Sorry fran, that's a Zarse piccy! Gib you are welcome to call by the Commer anyytime to sample the restorative properties of having your rear fundament sluiced out.  :D

Andy, I'll take your word for, but in her current state I wouldn't trust the Commer to host a sluicing of anything, let alone any of my bodily parts.  ;)

Well I'll fit a new water pump and remove the thermostat if it helps you any.

Andy,
Whilst I can hardly contain myself at the prospect of rectal and colonic cleanliness during this years campaign on MB, I'm also wondering whether or not the Comma has enough oomph to clear out some of the flotsam and jetsam that must be lurking up the bullet-holes of a few of the regulars on the camp site. Removal of the thermostat may provide a few more foot pounds per second per second, but petroleum jelly, with genuine petroleum, could be the only realistic way forward. Let's face it, if we're talking about being spic and span in the trouser area, then you should have at least a 'Plan B' up your sleeve. Quite what else may get up your sleeves doesn't bear thinking about, I suggest elasticated cuffs, or carrying out the whole procedure naked.
Have you any idea yet what the cost will be per person? (I say person, because at this stage, I hesitate to use the word 'victim')

H, I'm seriously concerned with the problems you have concerning your digestive tract.
Might I suggest you consider have your entire pipework system Teflon lined.  I recall a demonstration of a product called Slick 50 at a car show I attended a while back.  This product is guaranteed to lower the coefficient of friction at the interface between two parts.

Apparently, if taken at bedtime instead of your usual Horlicks, the treatment is said to last up to 12,000 miles.
