Nothing to serious I hope but, if you need an engine I'll have a good'un available shortly ;)

Didn't you see the tow truck parked there then ?

So come on - what happened ?

[peterzs]

not the dreaded Hydro-lock!!!!

Fortunately nothing too major!

The slave cylinder on the clutch went. I was at traffic lights right next to J25 of M1. The helpful AA man pointed out that was being held together with cable ties - which does explain its overall rubbishness. The AA man wasn't able to tow me because of the low front bumper, so he sent for a flatbed. the first flatbed was too steep so again the front bumper was in the way, so he sent for a 2nd flatbed which only just managed to get me on without damage! I was sat at the roadside for 4 hours! The car is now sat at the mechanics waiting for the part......
The chaps at Dark Ice designs have posted me a sheddist style replacement out today so it should be there and fitted tomorrow. I'd planned to do the upgrade at someone - just that now its sooner rather than later!

Glad its getting sorted, lucky you had the AA cover.

Thank you, and yes absolutely - would have been an expensive job otherwise! Always found the AA to be pretty good.

Unlucky. I nearly had a trouser accident at one point when at traffic lights, car wouldn't get in to gear, thankfully it did eventually. That same night I got hold of a sheddist kit lol.
Glad to hear you are sorting, best upgrade imo.
