I really don't understand woman the last van she was quite happy to change at under 3 years old. This one is now 5 years old and I'm having a real battle with her.
I think I'll have to do what I did with the OLED TV went and bought it told her afterwards. :LOL:

I thought he had a pole-dancing pole with a compressed spring on the bottom, so he can slide down to get out and boing back up, hence his secret nickname Zebedee!
 
Yesterday started out OK with a walk up to the village didn't bother with the castle has we did it a couple of years ago and it's very small.

Was looking good started up no errors gearbox working fine.
And then it all went downhill, there is a very steep slope out of the car park about 150 to 200 yds back comes the Traction control problem we have had before. Standing on the spot engine fighting the traction control burning rubber getting nowhere.
After a few restarts managed to scrabble up the hill juddering and burning rubber engine screaming with my foot to the floor. Once it's on the flat it's fine. But not my nerves.

Since the brake fluid was changed a year ago it has been faultless until yesterday.

This is my original thread about the problem.

Fiat X290 ABS/Comformatic problems

In Spain at the moment and the van through a bit of a wobbly today. A bit of background first, a few ago months at 14000 miles ago I swapped the spare onto RHS front, the other side had about 4mm tread depth. On a few a occasions I have had the LHS front wheel tramping and the traction control...
www.motorhomefun.co.uk www.motorhomefun.co.uk
Someone on that thread said they had problems with traction control when the tread depth wasn't equal on both wheels on the same axle.

Now before I left I did put the new spare on the front but the fronts had only done 7000 and both sides were acting the same so I don't think that's the reason.
When it originally did it the van had done 21k and I changed the tyres round at 10k & 20k so the wear would have been even.

Last time I took it to a well recommended Fiat Professional dealer shortcut to the result.

Bearing in mind we are on mountain roads with lots of steep hills so I'm not in the best state of mind..
2 miles down the road the road is barricaded and closed with no prior warning.
It's a single carriageway road with armco on one side a bank on the other, and we are on hill.
How the feck are we supposed to turn round. Luckily there is a track on our right but its very steep, I put the suspension on high and did a twenty point turn. Except Mijhan is watching the back but while she is watching one side the other side grounds out. Not too bad scraped a garage floor support (not the first time) it's GRP so easy repair and skuffed the bottom of the rear light housing.
Managed to turn round but complete bag of nerves now.

Made it to the coast with shot nerves writing this is giving me the jitters again.

Much to our discust we are on a site and quite enjoying it. A bit different from the last one nearly all the pitches are fairly large and nice wide roads to get around on.
We are at Altea, right by the beach.
Got the Paddleboard out today but only had a brief paddle as it was getting choppy and not been on the board for 6 months, should have gone out yesterday afternoon but nerves were too shot.
