Doc on tour, France, Spain, Morroco.

As are ours but sometimes you need some time away from them to chill and not having to constantly keep watching what they're up to. If you can try to get a break from them for say an hour every day, take a chair and go sit a distance away and read etc to take your mind off things, I'm not talking about researching the issues with your MH but totally unrelated to stuff. Watch a favourite comedy series, some funny YouTube stuff, or about other things that interest you. I like to do my puzzle books as I have to concentrate so can't think of other things that are going on, it really helps.

I do that.

I'm not with them 24 hours a day lol

If money is tight Tam, you might be able to get away with a seal kit. I had to do one on the bond bug this year because new master cylinders are no longer available, it was cheap as chips and fairly easy to do. The Morrocans have motor spares places, you have a photo with the part number and its the kind of thing the Morrocans do all day long, they tend to be repairers not replacers.

I wouldn't worry too much about the language. You have google translate in your pocket and We re encountering more english because its seen as the world language. They'll soon find a kid that can speak english.

Btw how many pipes come out of your master cylinder?

God, remember that? I forget how many slave cylinder seals I replaced 40+ years ago.

(Does also remind me how much of a throwaway society we are. And how much more reliable cars have become.)

I'll hopefully find a cash exchange place in Agadir. I've plenty of euros with me just not dirhams and because I use my Halifax clarity normally if I withdraw cash on it I get charges which I'm trying to avoid.

Once I change more euros I'll be fine.

I made a point of bringing plenty euros with me but got talked out of exchanging cash at port lol and I've not found another cash exchange since assilah.

Stop giving yourself more things to worry about and just go to the cash machine beside every Poste Maroc office, withdraw 2000 dirhams using your Halifax Clarity card. That’s exactly what we do, then we pay the balance using our online banking.
We’ve withdrawn 4000 dirhams so far on this trip and it’s cost us £157.81 and £161.07, total £318.88. I forgot to pay the card straight away and have been charged a grand total of 48p interest for the last 11 days.

Stop fannying about and just go to the cash point!

The only probem is Jon, that the barrel could potentially be pitted or scored and he won't find out until it's dismantled, in which case he'll be back to square one still looking for a new cylinder.
I'd be inclined to put a new cylinder on and rebuild the old one as a spare.

Agreed if it was mine I would be going for a new cylinder but my budget is different.

Unserviceable damage is of course possible but it would be very unlucky, if I remember correctly this hasnt done many miles and ended up stored for a long time, so hard or perished seals are probably more likely. I didn't fancy scrolling back through all the dog pics to find the number but it looks like it could be dual circuit which maybe where the pressure is being lost, but then some of the other theories could also be true.

I use my card for everything so if I withdrew 200 quid today. In order to pay it straight away I'd have to clear my balance of nearly 2 grand , I have my card set up so it pays each month's balance in full . I don't want to use my card for withdrawals. That's why I brought a couple of grand in euros.


If you hadn't talked me out of exchanging currency at the port I'd have dirhams ya pest

That’s exactly what I do Paul. Withdraw cash on the Clarity Card then transfer the equivalent amount +£1 as soon as I have internet. Paid 73p interest in 10yrs.

I use another no fee card for everything else.

You owe the money (£2k balance) and are going to have to pay it anyway so what difference does it make if you pay it straight away? Unless you’re getting a better interest rate on your savings than the credit card charge you?
The reason I told you to not bother buying dirham at the port is because I found we could get a better rate at the cash point.
You’re worrying over pennies here and imo you are stressing for no reason.

I use the clarity card as my main card so paying it straight away doesn't work unless I pay the full balance
