Yes, she's gone. Was hoping for many, many more miles but sadly a rock cracked the sump today. Mrs Grayt wax at the wheel but i can't blame her. We're on hols in the lakes and rain had brought down rocks on the honnister pass. Clunk but we had to get somewhere safe to pull over as anyone who knows it would not want to be sat on that incline in the pouring rain on a single track road. Insurance have assessed that although the sump could be changed they cannot be confident it would still not get written off with a likelihood of engine damage. Choice then of 300+ mile recovery to London and the costs mounts. We leave here in two days so can't take risk of assessment and repair up here. Such a shame the used cost is so low. Having to hire an astra to get us and our kit back.
Shitty time to happen as well as dad has been taken ill in cyprus with serious health issues and is to be flown back to yorkshire. I was to be using it to regulary make the 500 mile round trip to help out at home - a journey the tolly excelled at. Going to strip of the minor accessories i had fitted tomorrow before it goes for salvage. God knows what i'll find for the money we'll get.
