Just had a call from the Wife - the car has broken down on the M62 again! She said it started to lose power - then she noticed the "red lights" were on and the temperature had shot up!
She pulled over on to the hard shoulder and is waiting for the AA. I asked her to look under the bonnet and she has confirmed that the fan belt is not there.
My main question and concern is - is there any hope for the engine if she has seized it? I don't know how far she went with no belt but if the engine has ground to a halt due to the excessive heat build up I don' hold out much hope for it unless anyone can advise otherwise?
It never rains but it pours - it has just had a new radiator and viscous fan - surely the garage would not have put the old belt back on?
