Help. Engine overheating

Battery light and overheating, sounds like the fan belt is loose or broken.

Could be the 'fairly old' fanbelt went west!

Wow, that's a first. All the replies are in agreement, and probably right too.
Who will come along and spoil it!

Pop the bonnet and make sure you see a belt on all pulleys you see.

20 yr old van with a bonnet!
I think lift the seats might be a more likely option.

Nah, you're all WRONG. It'll be a head gasket for sure.

They've already had a decent crack at that by continuing to drive it.

Rob_man made me do it!

Best they do a bit of preventative maintenance before leaving.
