> What is the most interesting "thing" (that could mean a story, too) that > you found in/about your van after buying it from a PO? > My DPO didn't even clean the van, so I had coffee spills down the walls beside the two remaining unbroken cupholders. Under the back seat was disgusting. I removed the rear heater because the core had a very fine leak, and I found: candy wrappers, styrofoam packing peanut pieces in the blower fan (and I thought the motor was shot!), needles from several Chrismtas tree hauls, craft beads, a Lithium watch battery, some change that I couldn't identify due to the "scrunge" on the coins, peanuts, and worst of all -- some dried beans! Unfortunately, they had soaked up the coolant, so they were no longer dried. They smelled like Boston Baked beans with some Glycol-mutated mold growing on them! You never know what's lurking under that rear heater . . . Michael Townsend townsend@rtp.ericsson.se |
