After 20 miles or so engine in motorhome died (11 pm)
Various phone calls for assistance and after 20 minjustes Gendarme arrive
Mechanic/removal truck ordered abd arrived within 20 mins
Mechanic peered under bonnet pressed something and said start - It did
Fuel injector pronounced dodgy and we should get it looked at a s a p
Drove on and stopped to  sleep at next Aire.
Journey to our site 600 km decided to risk travelling
