Our 1st breakdown !

The following morning we went for a drive around Kiama and in the afternoon we had just been parked for about 5 minutes when we smelt a very strong smell of...petrol !!! Our fuel pump was leaking and needed to be changed. We went to the first garage we found and asked them if they could change the pump. They told us to come back the tomorrow as they were quite busy. They told us that the repairs would cost $250 !!!! We went this morning and they told us to come back in about 2 hours time. 

We got our van back and paid. We were happy it was only the fuel pump. We started driving around just to make sure it was safe for us to leave town and carry on travelling. Well the fuel pump was still leaking, can you believe it !! They couldn't have done the job properly. We went back to the garage straight away and they took the van in for it to get checked. The guy told us that the fuel pump was leaking because the other mecanic hadn't installed the pump properly. Anyway we got our van back again after acouple of hours and everthing seemed to be fine...
