Good news. Turns out first guy was wrong. After testing it was radiator and thermostat.
Being fixed as we speak.
If goes ok we could have a garage in montpellier for people.
Sadly we will have to spend an extra week in spain. Oh well:)

Sorry to hear all these problems. I was in France at the time and did not have any internet access available to me.

Hope you get home okay

Cheers

Nick

PS Do some shopping in Montpellier and site seeing in Nimes (Romans stuff) and try the mussels in Bouzigues (Not Sete, that's for tourists)
