If it makes the cruise lexxie, let me know if you find out if the engine needs a rebuild or not, as I have a full motor for sale, recoed head. I'm taking it out next week, and touching it up a bit, then it's on the market.
Make sure they put the right amount of inhibitor in it, and the radiator gets recored, not flushed... Otherwise it'll happen again
What're they charging you for?

Not sure exactly how much but close to a grand i think, they are looking over everything and i'm going down at lunch to see everything they found that needs replacing, but at the moment it just looks like a whole new radiator and cooling system, and then all the hoses replaced and everything cleaned up a bit. Hopefully thats all.

It should still be a decent cruise, i haven't been on one for ages, you fixed the damage those cunce did to your car?
umm.....nope, dont plan to get my car re-painted until i got heaps of spare money ;p i'd rather invest the money on fixing the car/upgrades ;p. aslong as the car still runs thats all that matters.

holycrap! 1000grand? i dno how much a radiator costs and hoses but damnit, thats nearly what a VLT conversion would cost u ;p
lexie, did your car just 'fk up on the spot' or did u notice the temp gauge in the high?

Dude... I doubt anyone'd spend a million to fix a VL
Yeah, they'll need to powerflush the block, new thermostat, new water pump, new/recored radiator, new hoses... It's a days work easily
Just after it gets fixed, make sure to keep an eye on the water level, just in case you've cooked the gasket, or the head, as it might crack, then you're up for more money then (About $300.00 to reco it, if it's not too bad)

Genki, the temperature went from cold to hot in about 20 seconds, i didn't even have time to do anything about it, i check my water and all that **** every weekend when i clean the car. The heater hose must of cracked yesterday morning and i lost all the water in about 15mins when i noticed it everywhere.
LOL 1000grand
