Air Bag Repair

03/09/25

Chores chores chores. Unpacked. Momentarily lost the V5 which would have put paid to Georgia and Armenia. But found once we cleared up.

Very peaceful. Just what we needed after such a busy 6 days.

Airbag Repair

04/09

Early up. Services and the best part of an hour back to Ankara. This time to fix our rear air suspension. I knew I was having to put air in more regularly, but one airbag had completely collapsed over the 6 days whilst we were away. The garage doing our long list of repairs had spotted it.
They had arranged for us to visit an air suspension specialist. Just how helpful is that.
Sure enough, one airbag was expelling air like a whale does water.

They took the wheel off and removed the airbag to fix it

A couple of hours later, they asked me to drive around the block. We hadn’t paid at this point … can’t see that happening in the UK. But my goodness the handling and smoothness over bumps is SO much improved. I guess with hardly driving Jez last year, I hadn’t really been aware of how bad it was. Fingers crossed it stays good.

We are now back touring. Stopped tonight a little off the main road in peace and quiet. There is a near train line, but the P4N entry says they are infrequent. They were also super friendly. They parped their horns and waved as they slowly trundled past.

Corks. Yes, they deter fruit flies and flies
