Man, you've been hit with a lot of repairs lately, so I hope they're all behind you now! Also, hope you had the quiet and restful weekend you wanted, Scott! You and Uma deserve it! Take care!
Nice to see someone else that pays attention to maintenance 👍 At 125k miles (200km) I had to get a new MOPAR remanufactured transmission. It was painful, but it's been almost 25k miles and a year since then. May you not experience that event ...
Definitely hoping to avoid trans or engine failure. That would be way too long in a hotel and more costly, no thanks I’d rather keep up with scheduled maintenance.
@@ScottageOnWheels Oh I do all the maintenance, so I knew there could be issues at some point. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything that could have helped avoid the failure. If it does happen and the transmission is available, it is a 5-day job.
Glad you got the flex plate done in time, seems like a lot of things to get done, great to see Miss Uma enjoying an ice cream cone lol, bet she didn't enjoy the Walmart car park, or being in the hotel, hope all the repairs go smoothly, safe travels Scott 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I'm nervous about my flex plate going out. It seems it's a promaster thing or the 3.6 motor in general. Was wondering how many kms you have on your van? Hopefully its smooth sailing for a while. We love following your Adventures!

I sure hope all the repairs are done for now, that’s for sure! It was a fantastic 3 days of R&R for both of us. Thanks Terry

5days?!? Wow, must be huge labour cost.
Uma is enjoying the heat bouncing off the solar panels 😂

Yup, all repairs done now. Smooth sailing from here on, I hope 🤞🏼

@@martincurrie8195 yes, it’s a known Promaster thing. My first flex plate cracked at 95,000 km, second one at 173,000km.
