[QUOTE="jontapp3, post: 632996, member: 33224"] [I]Hi there . New to this . We bought a 79 T2 a few months ago , all totally reconditioned engine etc . We drove the first 500 miles at 50 mph as advised then took it to an air cooled specialist who did an engine service and said it was all good . We have them driven from the south of England up to Scotland in a couple of days to a camp site . Couple days later we have tried to start the van but got nothing . Called a recovery guy who thought it might be the solenoid or starter motor but he then tried to move the crank and belt and it’s not moving in the slightest ! So at the moment we are stuck at a campsite in Scotland, 600 miles from home wondering if it’s worth having it looked at by a local garage who may not deal with air cooled systems or getting it towed home ? Apart from a seized engine could it be anything else . Any advice greatly appreciated! [/I] [/QUOTE]
