Collected car & set off for the M6 & home.
Put £40 worth of fuel in & was enjoying the experience of driving a big V6 auto, but then after about 8 miles the dreaded temp. gauge shot into the red
Pulled in to a petrol station & found coolant discharging out of the expansion tank cap.
Called AA & after waiting over an hour they diagnosed water pump failure as he said the coolant wasn't circulating around the engine. Major job on this model, so got it towed back to the seller. No one at home, doubtless gone down the bank to deposit the loot.
Not having time to hang around, left car as seen with note requesting cheque for my cash
Then had a long & expensive train journey home.
Will not be putting anymore silly bids on ebay again
