    I've got a 1980 diesel 260 volvo and my girlfriend went to a trip yesterday.
    A coolant hose at the back of the engine got off and the coolant spilled.
    She had the car jacked to a garage and the guy fixed the things and try to
    start-it off again but nothing worked. It's like the car doesn't have any
    compression.
    Yesterday she immediatly stoped when she saw the meter going high and shut
    off the engine.

    I hope it's only the fuel pump...
    What do you think ?

    Overheat + no compression = bad news. Sorry, I think the head is
    warped.
