Got a message from my brother in law. Van won't start, turns over and over, won't fire and sounds like a bag of spanners. He's supposed to be away in it on Friday (today).
Someones stolen all the diesel out of the tank. Was 1/2 full last week but now not even registering on the gauge.
Couple of cans of fuel put in and its running again.
Asked him if its MOT'd. Nope it ran out March 10th.
He drove it to the MOT station and was greeted by this coolant leak.
Nowt i've touched while working on it so i assume its either damage done by whoever stole the fuel or its just the 38 year old steel coolant pipes finally saying enough and giving up the ghost.
Holiday now a no go.
