overheating transit

[aspenarb]

Our transit got a bit hot yesterday ,I think it needs a new thermostat.

I don't think that was the thermostat, looks more like you ran into an IED:driver:

[swinny]

Wow bob, seriously, what happened?

[philcaegrug]

You can check the thermostat by putting it in a mug of boiling water to see if it opens (if you can find it).

I knew they banned smoking in works vehicles for a reason

Whats the story? Looks a sad sight.

Whats the story? Looks a sad sight.

 

The lads were on their way to a job and one of them said he could smell burning, they both dismissed the thought that it was the transit because they had just driven past a fire and assumed the smell was that. Less than a mile later they had to bail out unhitch the chipper and try and get the tools off the truck. All lunch bags and phones were saved but not all the kit To make it worse the customer they were on their way to kicked off thinking they were spinning him a yarn. I think it was an electrical fault because they said they could here the tipper motor running just before it went up .

My transit got hot too but that was just the damn sun on the windscreen and it didn't look quite like yours.

Sorry to see that Bob.
