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!

Guess who wants to test the turbo option 😉
