I am pleased to report that On Saturday my Dad drove Patience away from Woolfy's all shiny and sexy (Patience, not my Dad). We stopped a couple of times to check the water level in the radiator and all was well until we got to Junction 15 of the M1. It sounded like there was something rattling against the inside of the van as as the revs when up or down the pitch of the rattle changed. We pulled over and as we did lots of steam came through the engine cover. Nice chaps from the Highways Agency stopped and gave us some water which we poured into the radiator........and it landed on the raod underneath. Bugger, as they say! She was recovered back to my Dad's drive in Watford and I now need to find someone to take a look at that and a couple of other things. Steering very drifty according to Dad, and temp and fuel guages not registering. So that's where we are. One step closer. Anyone know any experienced mechanics in or near Watford or somewhere I can have her delivered fairly inexpensively to that's trusted to look at all this stuff?
Patience is a Commer, my Commer.
