Best thinking at the moment is that the bottom radiator hose let gp possibly due to perishing though it looked fine when the body lift was done as was one of the things I checked carefully. That would explain why the radiator was both empty and cold. The crunch will be what happened next and how much heat built up in the head that has likely spat a chunk of the head gasket out which is why it will not re-start. The good news is that it turns over. Don't worry about things like power steering and 4WD lights failing when it happened as all those stop when the engine stops. I know we have already discussed these but I'm repeating it for anyone else that ends up in the same situation. it'll sort - don't worry hun |

First examination shows a large gash in the botom radiator hose. Snoopy is being trailered to mine on Tuesday so will be able to tell you more after that. All being well he'll be running again before Sadie gets back from her hols  |

Me mummy lives there and I don't get to see her much, so this is quality mum and daughter time cos I miss her loads |
