Scared Now

Hi all,
I've really enjoyed reading all the stories and had a good laugh.
Just bought my ex ambi, finally deciding to retire my tatty caravan. Ambi needed some work to brakes, then passed it's MOT.
I was really looking forward to my first trip, now I'm terrified!!! as well as being quite excited. I have no idea of all the mechanical jargon and apart from oil and water, wouldn't know what to do under the bonnet!
I reckon the £40 AA membership is the best investment I've made and I'm sure to use it often!
Thanks for the laugh and the excellent site.
I'll let you know how I get on.....
Joanne

Just got my ambi back!

Not really a good start! National tyres have had the van for a week trying to find the parts to fix the unbalanced front brakes!!!
Sorted and got it back today, able to fetch my new ambi home. They tell me to take it back in 5 days for a tweaking, when the brakes have 'bedded in'?? Congratulations are in order really since I then found out it took them two hours to find out how to open the bonnet!
At least now the kids have gone back to school and I have a proper look at what I've got.
Looking forward to posting about its' maiden voyage...:B
TTFN

Glad the bonnet thing isn't just me!

3 days (off and on) but I got there in the end. Actually, since owning the beddy for a couple of months my knowlege of mechanics, hydraulics, car electronics and plumbing of explosive gases has increased by a factor of 10!

In fact, after fitting the bike rack onto the back I'm having to learn how to fix auxiliary springs too:
