Hose of death - Nearly! - 08/08/2012 20:02

Well just dropped a friend off yesterday at about 17:00 when i noticed the temp gauge nearly in the red:o
Quickly turned off the engine and sat and looked at the steam coming from the bonnet - and fearing the worst phoned Midlands Car Servicing and told John the issue - no coolant/oil left as it had poured out etc and John who as everybody knows lives in his garage and never goes home - was happy to take a look
So at 17:30 trusty Autohome ironically the same driver who took me to John's last year came and took me back rolleyes
To cut a long story short - John replaced the HOD - explained that i was very lucky with no added problems and i was back home by 20:00
Great service again by John and Autohome smile
