A little quiz
« on: 05 June 2015, 09:18:41 »

I "broke" my beloved Bullet a couple of days back, when it drifted into one of the many Grand Canyons that Buckinghamshire County Council are trying to make in the north of their country.

It went in with a hell of a clout, "quite" fast, and at an awkward angle, and a couple of seconds later I got a coolant level warning (not to mention an odd pull).

I've investigated this morning, the pull may be due to inflation on tyre, so guess its either knocked some air out of it, or slow punctured it - time will tell, but no visible signs of damage.

The coolant warning though, any guesses?

Sounds like you've given the front end a right jolt. I thing you were lucky to get away with just coolant warning.
The float has probably tried to escape and got stuck or, knowing your luck, you've loosened the most awkward, hidden joint somewhere deep in the bowels of your motor  ;D
You're lucky you didn't knacker you suspension.........or maybe you did?

The best way to put this right is to drive the opposite corner into the same pothole. Equilibrium will be restored......honest. Try it  :y

Your coolant level sits quite low iirc?

A jolt could have just been enough. Did it cancel and not return? Presume so.
