Hey we purchased a 1994 Caravelle, LOVE IT, fits the whole family AND the groceries to feed us all 
However
we have a coolant leak - & have traced it up under the dash. From asking around people have indicated that this can be quite a common problem. Our task is to fix it!
When we show mechanics they kind of squirm & say... it'll be expensive, then run for their lives in the other direction -
or they tell us to bypass the heating unit (effectively rendering our beloved 'ladybug' unregisterable as the demisters wont work - WHAT A PAIN)
Any suggestions/ encouragement would be appreciated.
Also, what's the best repair manual to get - maybe we can do it ourselves.
Thanks
Jason & Elle
