No more Surfing :(

[Nellington]

I am no longer the proud owner of a Surf

For the past 19 months I have been in Afghanistan and the misses has been in charge of the surf. She didn't bother taking it for a service or doing any basic checks on it and has been driving it with NO OIL!!!
I come home, jump in and scoot off down the M25 at warp factor 5 and unsuprisingly the Surf starts making banging noises, then stops working.
The garage have filled it up with oil and got it started but it no longer wants to go forwards (or indeed backwards). So I am now surfless
Valuable lesson learned, the hard way of course.

Did you check the oil before driving? I guess not!

Nope, she had been driving the car almost daily whilst I was away, I SHOULD have checked the oil but I made the mistake of assuming that everything was ok with it.........

Short transfer lever been knocked into neutral? The usual reason for loss of drive.

Sorry to hear about ya baby, hope ya can get it fixed/sorted Bud !!
It pays to trust no-one nowadays !!!!
D i y is the only way, then ya know it's done ....

There's always a Payback .... Don't expect a warning tho !!!!

[Nellington]

The garage reckon it's a write off, the enigine is still making loud banging noises, even when idle.....
Anyone with a low loader want a knackered surf to take to pieces?

If only I had more room. An Ideal candidate for an engine swap.

Well I didn't have the room or the time to sort anything with it so have abandoned it at the garage!! If anyone does want it let me know I will send the garage name and phone number. Better go find myself a new one!!
