Should be easy would have gone home and got the terrano to tow the volvo but no one about to run me home. Was going to run the terrano into work as had not used it all week but didn't have time to swap them on the drive

Ouch hopefully there was enough coolant in the system The bottom rad hose clip snapped on my old escort whilst rushing my wife to hospital, lost 80% of the coolant which blew the head gasket & cracked the head

It only dropped the coolent pulling up nearly fell over In volvo £54 for hose tried every scrap yard none about. £7 for a proper ribbed metal joiner that's the hose sorted. New belt already on it. Have to say been very lucky with it as most belts that snap snag up with the cam belt and wreck the engine

Shhhhh.... don't post things like this about Volvo's on here, Ryan might still be lurking...
I think you should probably do not bother doing the lottery tonight though, I think you might have used up all your luck today... |

Oh no!! that's how it started with Ryan, first he started talking about Volvo's, how he liked them, then he fell out of love with his Terry and then he was gone
