Killed my engine driving back home from Wales to Surrey on Thurs.
New thermostat from Ford and temp was rising past halfway (laser temp reader showed temp around 95 degrees)
So pulled over and removed stat. Carried on with my journey and lost power on motorway. Pulled over, engine seized and bone dry of coolant.
Not sure what caused this, wish I hadn't put the new stat in and had left the old one.
Had a new water pump too. Radiator could have been the issue.
No point crying about it. Engine still seized this morning and mayo in filler cap. Shame as it was a low mileage engine.
Anyway, need to find a replacement. It was drastically underpowered being a twin wheel 91 minibus converted into a camper.
What engines can go in this? Banana engine? Turbo? I'd like to put one with a Bosch pump in so I can run it on veg.
