Guess what !!????

Ooooh well Vince did a great job on the van, proof is that we have broken down again. Thankfully we broke down in Lancefield. We are really frustrated now, we have been to see about 4 different people about our fuel pump but nobody seems to be able to repair such a trivial thing as that !!!!!! Kevin said we should wait until Monday to take the van to the little garage in Lancefield. So on Monday we take our van in and the guy says that he has to change the fuel pump and that it is in the wrong place...!!!!! IS IT ????? Obviously Vince is NOT a good mechanic.... We get the fuel pump changed for the THIRD time in TWO WEEKS !! 
A couple of hours later we went to get our van back and Kev and Val told us to take it up that steep hill again as that will be the BIG TEST to see if our van is going well now.
Both stressed out and quite worried we decided to go on with what they told us and it just passed the test !! It did go up but not without difficulty. Just as we thought that we would never hear the word FUEL PUMP ever again...I started crying and told Ben I wanted to go back home. Ben who hadn't showed his feelings to much about this until now started to get very frustrated. We drove back to the Smiths and Ben checked on car websites and forums to see what the problem was. Ben immediately thought that perhaps the fuel pump wasn't powerful enough for our car so we went back to the garage and asked him if he could put a more powerful one and the mechanic replied that no they are ALL the SAME !!! They aren't powerful ones, every  car has the same one. HAVE THEY ???? We went back to Kev and Vals place and Ben asked them if there was a shop that sold new car parts not far from Lancefield and Kevin directed us to a shop in the following town. We went straight there and we did find a MORE powerful fuel pump. Ben decided to give it a go and we bought the fuel pump and a couple of other things and went back to Lancefield. 
Ben said that he will change the fuel pump himself and see if it works...
