And so it was all arranged. Bob was to be taken to the Bulli Barn and the starting/running issues sorted once and for all. Of course there was the problem that Bob wouldn’t necessarily start so after giving it a go (and failing) we called the RAC again. It would seem that the choke was sticking on and so it was only a small job to get the engine running. The choke sticking would apparently also explain why Bob has been stalling so often on short trips but absolutely fine on longer journeys.

I drove over to Colchester without any problems (bar stalling at the first few junctions) and Les from the Bulli Barn gave her a look over. He agreed that the choke was possible the cause of the problem and said he’d have a play with it, as well as checking over other connected items that might be playing a part. He also took Bob out for a drive and was impressed with how she drove. I know that Bob is a great camper but after the past week it’s nice to hear it confirmed by as many people as possible, especially those who know their way around them.

Bob will be back with us by the weekend hopefully and I look forward to reporting on many an eventless trip here, there and everywhere…
