RE: STRANDED IN FRANCE.......HELLLLLLP!!!!

Would just like to say a great big THANKS for all your help with our front fan problems.... we now have a working fan, at last!! Yayyy!! xxx
...... But the problems don't stop there!! We have decided on a whim to venture off to France with the family. Hopped on a ferry from Dover to Calais and then travelled down to the bottom of Normandy, top of Brittany, it was supposed to be a four hour drive but in reality it was six and a half!! My better half was driving along and we seen the golden arches and decided we would have a break!! This is when the trouble began....We pulled up, as you do. Put the bongo into "P", as you do....and took the ignition key out, as one does!! But to our astonishment....our old girl just kept chuntering away, she just didn't want to stop!! We have had to take out the diesel line and starve her of juice and she eventually died. After giving her a good rest for an hour and a drink of water she managed to re-start and we made it to the camp site in one piece, only to be faced with the same problem again with switching off the ignition. She didn't sound well at all on the last hour of the journey and we thought she wasn't going to make it....God bless her!!
Anyway to cut a long story short, we are stranded in France and was wondering at all if anyone knows what the hell we are going to do?!?!?! LOLOLOL!!!
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.....and sooner rather than later!!!
Our fondest regards to you all xxx
