Need help

Post by akikolajoie »

Am stuck in north Yorkshire. Think i lost a cylinder on my 81 air cooled van. Anyone know a good mechanic in the area? We are staying in skipton tonight. Will get it checked out tomorrow but I am thinking of limping it the 3-4 hrs home. It's leaking a lot of oil and running really rough.
