Will Mrs TheBoy make it home
« on: 02 September 2007, 20:19:03 »
As most will know, I sent her off to Great Yarmouth in the MV6 this weekend.  Don't tell her, but I knew the battery was suspect, so I packed the jump leads just in case...

Every time she rang whilst I was at Wales meet, I always wondered if it was to say battery flat.  The battery has held up well, but she rang this morning to say the EML was on, and she had a Coolant Level warning on the dash  :o

That conversation did sound worrying, just like the expression on your face.

Have you had her check the coolant?

Im thinking you and tunnie will be doing head gaskets together soon ;)

you should at least have plenty of coolant in  stock for the tractor ;)

Sorry - it had to be done.

I hope it is all OK, has she peeped under the bonnet yet?

Can she do a paperclip test?

got a big drum of coolant here, although I need most of it!

dads one needs coolant after the HG, mine needs a change too, project Elite will need one too after the oil cooler.....

She made it home about an hour ago :y

Haven't been out to check, too busy with a chicken madras...

Rather worryingly, she has said she put a bit of bumper trim in the boot  :o
