The trip across Belgium did not go well. Poor old Sooty van broke down twice on the motorways..

Something wrong with the ignition but I’m not sure what – instant loss of power both times. It looks like a poor fit of the distributor cap along with it being worn out after less than 500 miles.

In future I will buy genuine items instead of cheap shit off eBay. The few quid saved is no consolation when you are taking a van apart at the side of the motorway with trucks roaring past.

Rant over…
