Gutted

[The Ferret]

Well, I drove back from Cardiff this afternoon in the beast I've owned for a week. Just as I reached Evesham, steam started puoring out of the bonnet

So over I pull, straight on the phone to 'Chillitts recovery service', who popped out and confirmed my worst nightmare.

The head has gone!

The RAC arrived and also rubbed salt in the wound. Not happy

But hey, ho. I'm off to the garage in the morning to get a price for fixing. I know now that the missis will go mental when I tell her how much it's likely to cost. I may need a spare room to bed down in!

I'll keep you informed.

How did the RAC man come to the conclusion that the head had gone? it maybe an air lock / low coolant problem.


Here's Stevo's link in case the head has gone...

Steam coming out of the exhaust, then she refused to start at all, as we believe there is water in the chambers.

Cheers for the link Bushwacker.

[Chillitt]

it was blowing steam out the exhaust, and water out the rad cap. the water in the header was brown and frothy. and when he tried to spin it over it locked up - water in the bore. i'm gutted and its not even my surf..
and when his missus has finished killing him, she is going to kill me..
RAC man was more like a walking ad for findapart than a mechanic..

Gutted!!

[joker??]

sorry to hear the bad news ferret , my lab said you can crash out in hes kennel with him,

[laser_jock99]

Gutted for you too- sounds like cracked head syndrome as Chillit said. Still- once replaced with a new head it will be solid. Good to see another Leamington Surfer though!

[da SLUG man]

is that shelly's old one?

[Chillitt]

yup.

[da SLUG man]

spoke to shelly today and i think i upset her telling her it had broken!

she's sorry and feels pretty bad... never had any problems or used a drop of oil or water.

i said it's just one of them surf things!


cheered her up again when i told her about my latest internet purchase!!
