if its a 1.8 the head gasket has given up again! If its a kv6 its one of Colin NI `s cars (or mine) and if a diesel its in tank pump has failed.

Or its stolen and he is walking down the road looking for Taggart!

Noooooo. V6 is bullet proof! What would I know? I'm a diesel owner!

Diesel untaxed since 5th March according to DVLA https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/

Oh and my mate fixes up scrap cars, since the US flooded market with metal the scrap price has dropped from 220 last July to 35 this July. So a scrapper has to dismantle and sell spares to make any money due to getting rid of fluids etc. I doubt he was pulling my leg he was offering me cars for as little as 50 quid just to get rid and he knows I know the same salvage guys.

Well you would wait, get on the phone to your local scrap yards this morning and get in first seeing as you have been watching it for a while now
