My Beloved Van let me down today....
muky-kid.:
:evil: I fell out with my van today, big time...
I had a delivery to Leeds this afternoon ( town center ). Left Manchester traffic fine for once on M62, windows down cold blower on full life was good....
:roll: Got into Town center pulled up outside my first customer, did drop, got back in van.... would she start :evil: No decided to have a diky fit, temp gauge showing that it was overheating and the electrics would not let the enginge start. :? Funny i had only checked the oil water in the morning like i always do :? .
So i sat there for 15 mins till she cooled down enough for the electric brain box to let me fire her up. Well she started but not long up the road and the temp gauge whent through the roof :evil: Stopped parked up for 15 mins again checked water level oil everything was fine even the pipes werent that hot includeing the intercooleer pipes :? .
Now the firm i work for are penny pinching missers and dont have a recovery policey with any one, so if you break down its up to you to sort it and get back home :twisted: .
The only thing i could do was have the heater matrix on full heat and the blowers on full blast ( IT WAS LIKE BEING IN A FURNACE ) Temp gauge steaded at 80 degrees and so i continued with the last deliverys which was at the Leeds Football Ground ( we do all there print work ie posters flyers membership app forms etc etc.. ).
After this i finely headed home along the M62 temp gauge still ok but my god i was melting, the water was just pouring from me, it was 80 degrees outside but 100 inside :twisted: .
I gave my van a good telling off when i got back....
It must have been a sticking thermostat, as the vans fine before i went home.
I am now a stone lighter..... :lol:
gords:
That all sounds like a bloody good excuse to sink a few beers :wink: :lol:
Is it sorted for tomorrow?
