Help Required urgently

Post by blurb55 »

Hi all.

still having a nightmare with the cooling.

Followed Mocki's instructions but the coolant flooded back into the tank in a boiling torrent. Radiator was cold but the pipe was tepid.

Does anyone know of a mobile mechanic who could sort this as the crap garage it has been to have delared that they have fixed it and that is an end to it. Have no more desire to keep fighting this just want the van fixed, if poss for Janes Birthday on Sat.

Happy to pay to get the van onthe road, am so angry it defies words.

We are 10 miles\west of Sheffield - any help/suggestions appreciated.

Paul.

You have obiously followed the wiki advice, and still no joy.

My neighbour did this twice (bleeding the system) and had to do it half a dozen times at that.

Hi Kev, thanks for the words of comfort.
Right at this moment I am just a little annoyed.
The complexity of the T25 is well beyond my Aircooled experience and not having a John Miur type book does not help, however, folks on here have been so very patient and helpful, I think I would have given up had it not been for the folks here and their advice.
Looks like its a tent this weekend!!

i'm sure he won't mind a text before
a quick phone call, let him know where
you got the number though, we tend
to help each other out where possible.
