    sorry about that never seen a vehicle without temp gauge. then again i've never owned nothing newer than 2000.always been 10 years behind. I know its crazy mate. For all the things they can cut back on you'd think a temp gauge would be needed lol. Must be too hard for them to make an accurate digital one so why bother

    Get on the phone to the b*****ds then if it don't have a temp gauge... merc vans the same, f****n daft. tell them exactly what happened, you checked the water that morning etc and since no temp gauge, you didn't notice it over heating. You want them to reset comp free mate. Probably a wee earner for the c**ts but they'll tell you what it costs to get the comp reset. If no temp gauge they must be certain their computer will save your engine so no worries mate, you'll be fine.

    Modern engines shut down before damage is done. Its annoying at the time cos your looking at the engine thinking..... this could get me f*****g home, seen engines a lot warmer etc.... but it has shut down before you've done damage... I think a little too soon but that's just me. I reckon your van will be fine mate. You've not roasted the engine and trust me, you'd know if you've roasted the engine, you'd be lucky to touch the dashboard never mind the bunnet lol.... Wee tip since you don't have a temp guage.... keep your heater to warm, as soon as you feel it going cold, you've run out of water

    I thought so mate. If you had a temp gauge lol, you'd notice it never moves but for some reason as soon as your testing the engine i.e up a hill giving it welly and the temp rises because of less water etc, the management system thinks.... oh oh..... tools down boys lol.....

    Exactly mate. If the head gasket was away it would still run but the oil and water would mix and loads of white smoke would come out the back..... it ain't what is wrong. A wee trick you might try is flick the ignition on and off a good 20/30 times... this sometimes resets the system..... BTW, keep the fact I'm giving you advice to yourself, I have a reputation of being a b*****d to uphold.....

    This might sound a stupid question but were you going up a steep hill at the tiume fully loaded or giving it a bit of welly?

    Sounds like the management system has kicked in and is stopping the engine from starting. I an 100% certain it isn't a head gasket... Way to tell if it is is check your oil in the dip stick, if their is no water contamination i.e it is just black oil and not a yucky white/yellow substance then your head is fine. It will be mate. I think you'll might need to get a computer attached to it to see what the managment fault is, I reckon thats why it wont start and I'd get the temp gauge sorted at the same time.

    Diesels can take one hellava punishment mate. How did it stop, did it conk out was their any smoke etc? Most modern diesel engines have a safety mechanism which kicks in before the engine reaches critical temperature but acts like it has. You'd have done more damage if it was a say, frosty morning and watch when you refil it you add anti freeze.

    Hmmmmmmm..... interesting Can I ask you why you think the fen hares that you saw getting run were the best? Was it because it took the dog an age to catch them? You say its due to the running conditions, how does that make them a better hare? Surely a hare which exists on hilly ground is going to be fitter than one that has never seen a hill. You mention diet, what food source is different on the fens compared to the rest of the country. As for them being run that long it has thinned out all the weak, don't fall into the trap that hare coursing only existed on the advent of the camcorder. S

    OK mate, its your thread and your right, it has turned into a slagging match. All the best with your dogs mate.

    LOL............ If a dog doesn't posses stamina, just like speed, no amount of work will improve it that much. Yes, hard work will get a dog to its running weight, fitness levels but hopefully everyone who runs a dog has their dog to this level before the season starts.... Heard it all now.You cant improve a dogs stamina with hard work. sigh........ OK, I'll explain as if your a retard, see if that helps..... Usain Bolt, fastest man on the planet, at the peak of his fitness, agreed? Do you think he'd win a marathon?.... Now think about it before you jump in..... He is at p

    I'm turning it into a slagging match!!! If you think I'm going to stand back and listen to someone claim they are the spokesman for the hare and scottish hares are pish then your mistaken. Sorry about calling your wee buddy(who clearly wants to lick every orifice of your body) your boyfriend but he did come on saying you know it all but if this offended you then I appolagise. As for it being your personal opinion, why were you so concerned about my hunting credentials when I questioned it? Anyhow, that offer of proving you wrong still stands whenever you like to take it up...... I'll not hold
