engine went bang in one of the fridge vans at work... the van was pretty rough anyway so decided to get a new one and sell this one when its fixed
so I bought a new one (on ebay lol)
not a bad van... side door didnt fit properly, and someone had tried to weld it and made a mess of it... needed a new clutch too.... alos the guy had "intermitent" problems starting it when it would need a jump to get it going...
fixed the side door in 30 min with a brace down the inside of it
I already knew wha was causing the starting problems... a nackered battery clamp, so changed that eash..
was planning on doing the clutch asap... but i worked just over 100 hours last week and the week before, so decided to get a loacak garage i know to do it instead.... i know the guys there and theyre pretty decent....
anyway... when i went to pick it up, they had a bucked of water sitting next to the van..... ?
turns out... the gearbox was FULL to the brim with water.... instead of oil ?
weird... am assuming it was in a flood ?
even better than that tho... we drove it back to sunderlan from notingham, and a few hundred miles around sunderland in the 2 weeks the clutch was nackered... and it was fine
