Anybody local to here... On way home from LZ11 and smoke in cab. Limped it off and bonnet up coolant seems to be everywhere but no sign of split pipes.

Help needed as wife and 2 nippers in tow. No tools! Bloody typical.

Cheers

:frown:has it died?

pontyslapper · May 17, 2015

It's not far off. Struggling to start and stay started hence the Malvern parking request. Currently in park? near Malvern fire station so as close as an inch away would be helpful even if it's just a heads up about leaving it in residential street for day or two without being messed with would be nice.

Phone needs to go onto power save so can only txt from now on

It never rains but it pours! I will however not give up on Drover. He will live again. That is for certain. Just found out I can get and claim a hire car for work. So that's a big headache sorted.

blue beasty · May 17, 2015

Will text any offers of help through to you. Closest on the map is in Hereford but hopefully someone local will pop up

Cheers BB. In't it ironical that I was thumbing through the stickers yesterday and came oh so close to buying an LZIR one!

Bit of a long shot but a Few years ago we had a camping weekend (Bikers weekend) at Welland, just outside Malvern. They seemed decent owners and i'm sure if Ponty explained the situation with the kids etc they wouldn't mind him leaving it in the car park? We camped in the field attached to the pub.
