Alright, I tried to bypass the heater core today, but I think the heater hose I bought isn't wide enough, so instead I took Ayeroll's typically brilliant advice and turned my heater up full. The coolant leak stopped as if I'd turned off a tap.

Right with that problem out of the way, lets lay some odds on me successfully driving 540kms home tomorrow. We are taking bets on:


245L Van seriously damages something requiring the attention of a machine shop again: 5/1

245L Van is rear ended by a Hyundai, totalling the korean toybox and causing no visible damage to the van: 10/1

245L Van's one remaining fuel pump finally dies: 3/1

I have to crawl under the van at least once every hour during the trip: EVENS

245L Van arrives with less nuts and bolts than it left with: 5/7

I have to spend another night sleeping in my car: 2/1

I have to visit an autoparts store at least once during the trip: 3/2

245L Van never makes it all: 1000/1 (I will find a way)


What other scenario's can we forsee?
