Conrad D. Conelrad Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 We're boned. We'd been refilling it with water every so often (and had 15 litres in the back for reserve) and everything was going well. Then in the space of maybe 200 yards the temperature gauge (the only gauge I was watching) shot up. I pulled over and killed the engine before it reached the red. The water pump has completely failed. There's a waterfall under the bonnet. We are waiting for Green Flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Furious Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Dislike...do green flag recover cars that old? When I was getting quotes for breakdown cover the other day I'm sure they had some 16 year rule - hence eliminating them. Here's hoping they do! I continue to be jealous of the epic adventures you pair go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Rustbucket Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Not often you get a 'seventies car dwarfing everything around it. The 'hood ornament' must sit somewhere in the middle-distance half way to the horizon as you look down the bonnet. In fact it is so very long, you'll actually arrive at your destination slightly earlier because the front bumper is half way there already. What a handsome thing. somewhatfoolish, Skizzer, Junkman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodders Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 There is no way that I can express how magnificent that is. Please simply accept this as my attempt to say how spectacularly marvelous it is. Well bought, hopefully it is worth all the trouble you've had to deal with to get it.
