Mon 16 Oct 15° Oaktree 12 month service and MOT

4.30am we woke to an alarm was going off...charging our devices on the inverter. Good job it happened today, another thing for Oaktree.

Drove round to Oaktree at 8.30am, Dave came in and we went over few things, 3 led bulbs not coming on , hose under sink leaking. The inverter alarm was flat battery it will all be  checked in habitation check.

Walked round to Ikea Centre,  Viv and Tony arrived and we had coffee and good catch up, then had lunch in Ikea, very good value meals. The sky was very wiered,  all grey haze and the sun was a small orange ball in the sky, very eerie. Maybe the remnants of hurricane Ophilia.

Dave rang about 2.30 all done passed service and MOT but they found the boiler elements only working on half so need a new element. Booked till Nov! told him we have ferry booked for 26th and he said he would ring round to see if he could get a subcontractor.

We drove round with Viv and Tony and Dave said he has got someone for Monday...whewwww. He said they checked the leisure battery and it was showing 'replace' and they are not covered on warranty,  we said we had 2.......they had only checked one.... he said if we need 2 new ones it would be £240. While we waited,  Viv and Tony had a look at some of the other motorhomers on site then went back to Hogs Head to check in etc.

When Dave came back he said it was an old fuse on the leisure battery which they replaced, when re checked both were fine whewwww.

Paid the bill for service, MOT and habitation check £499 all up, nothing else to pay as boiler covered on warranty.

We drove back to Hogs Head, tidied up as they had to get in under bed and both settees,  they did a good job of putting it all back, but we just put it straight before   Viv and Tony came in for a cuppa and look at Bessie.

Very windy as we walked over to pub for dinner.....they were dressed for warmer weather...ever hopeful haha.

The roasts had gone up from £3.50 to  £4.00  haha we all shared 2 berry crumble 's and custard and had Irish coffee's to finish the evening.

Lovely catch up, great to see them.
