Not a good start to today, went out to a job, and my Radiator went on my van, water coming out all over the place, thank god, i have about 100 liter of water in the van for the truckmount, which I used to cool the engine.
Any one else with van problems with the winter???
Yes before you say it I had antifreeze in

When i saw title i was thinking ' topless tour bus' .......... most let down 

No in answer to your question ........... have outdoor plug to drive and always plug in frost fighter for sake of machine, it does help with keeping frost of windscreen and stopping chems and pipes from freezing up.

What I was afraid of. I have had experience of engines overheating in the past and while they may seem to be ok at the time problems will develop later on. The cylinder head gasket should be changed as indeed damage could be caused to the cylinder head itself.
I hope you do not have to go looking for a second hand engine but just in case it is useful to know where to pick up spare parts just in case.
 Sorry for sounding so pesamistic but I have been down the same road myself.
