On the road again, Luxembourg breakdown

in Liketu6 months ago

Hello Hive friends,

Currently I am in Luxembourg and I have car problems again...
Yes it very cool to own an old camper van but old will break down eventually.

This time it is e relay fuse that controls the engine cooling. The cooling vans no longer run. Normally when you go in a straight line ore down hill that is still doable because of the airflow but up hill and with the temperatures of today, 35 Celsius, that is a bigger problem.

I first tried to find a new part myself. I was standing on a supermarket parking lot and I asked a couple of dutch people if they wanted to help me. I needed a lift to a car part shop but all 5 people I asked didn't want to help me. It was just a 15 minute drive but they were all so called busy.

So I called the dutch car trouble alarm number and there response was to send a car like this to pick me up and drop me off where ever I wanted.

Of course he looked at the relay fuse if that really was the problem and he told me that I was right.

Happy travels in the front of the tow truck.

But to bad, in this town I have visited 3 car and part shops but non of them had one laying around. But the last one told me that in a village near by there was a shop that could order it for me so that I could pic it up tomorrow. Guess what, it is in the same town that the tow truck picked me up...

Now I am waiting for the weather to cool down and the traffic to get less busy, I don'want to end up in a traffic jam because my engine will boil immediately. So I will leave here tonight and find a place to sleep close to the store who ordered the part.

Wish me luck tomorrow, I hope there will be no more problems on this trip!

oh man after all that you spent to fix it, broke again? can't you bring it to a mechaic instead for a faster fix?

This is just a bad relay, I can put that in myself 😅👍

It’s unfortunate that the people you asked for help didn’t respond, but it’s great to hear that the Dutch emergency services lived up to expectations and gave you the support you needed.

I know not all Dutch people are like this but alot are very selfish

Good luck with the van's health. Everything will be fine.

Yesss, thank you. Indeed all is fine, I gave my bed with me 😅👍
