[@VinDieselS70]

Owned a Rover 600 from 1995 and had it for two years. As the car was based on a Honda Accord it had the 2 Liter Honda engine. One day to work the radiator sprung a leak and emptied itself in like 5 mins. Drove like 15 miles to work from where it happened with no water in the car. Smelled a bit hot but still worked. Then drove back like 30 odd miles filling up every now and then but the car worked great and no knocking. Got a new radiator but that blew up as apparently the head gasket had gone pumping air in the the radiator so eventually scrapped the car. Japanese engines last forever with the right maintenance.

I’m presuming an April Fool joke here, that said, I have a friend with a 2007 Volvo V70 D5, he unknowingly cracked its sump and lost its oil, it’s dashboard was not working (relatively common on these) so he had no warning lights but it sounded rough, after a week of running it to and from work we took a look and found the dipstick completely dry and barely nothing left in the sump. One replacement sump and oil refill later, it fired up and thee years later is somehow still running and in daily use.
