Nooooo! Van!!! (by alaric)
Just had a phonecall from the friend who was borrowing our lovely van - he was just driving it back, when it made rattling noises, so he pulled over and now it won't start 
The fear is that it may have run out of oil and seized, since it has a known propensity to get through oil fast (as many old diesels do). However, no warning light came on.
Please be OK, van!
= UPDATE =
Looks like it did run out of oil; the engine's all seized up inside.
However, luckily, Sarah's uncle is a mechanical engineer, and has managed to find us a nice Transit engine that's even newer than the one in the van - and he can install it for us! So the van is going to have something of an upgrade to a turbo diesel engine - a new lease of life...
Phew!
