So came back last night with aim of fixing MotherT's car, had a call from her last week to say it EML was on. Ran fine though according to her.

A nice little fat admin popped over that evening to find it miss-firing nicely and a very broken HT lead. 

So today replaced feked HT lead (clearly failed had split big style, TB confirmed mini fireworks), fresh plug in. Due to job list longer than my arm, I stopped short of replacing all of them. Put it all back together, same problem

Ok so maybe DIS pack failed too, attempted to replace that. D'oh, no E10 socket, so over to the fat admins. Nicked his, on the way back hit a speed bump at around 10mph as usual, had windows down as it was nice and sunny hear a huge bang, then metallic sounds from underneath my 2.2 

First thought was heat shield, but nope. Further inspections showed the exhaust flexi has let go in quite a large way, I had noticed it starting to frey few months earlier.



Then inspect and DIS pack on MotherT's all fine, (see other Thread in  Gen car Chat) - Looking more and more terminal there.

So my 2.2 is out of action for a while & it looks like the 3.0 is dead 

Least the lawn mower started ok

Loads of life in that yet , get a bandage and putty around it

Need to put some tin foil around it, see if it blows that out too. 2 year old ETS exhaust so should not be blocked

Has TuBy learned how to use that mig set yet?

Looks like you're on your bike for a bit 

Hope you fix 'em soon

Nope 

You would have thought fatty would have learned by now!

I think a grovelling PM to a certain other admin maybe in order

Cheers 

Luckily I've got my 3.2 Elite, which has had limited use recently. Used it to day, fek me petrol is expensive 

I put in half a tank of petrol in the 2.2 in Austria in January, I've still got nearly half a tank in that. Today I used a quarter tank  in the 3.2 already

Well ordered a replacement today, good job they are nice and cheap! 

Pattern one lasted approx 60k odd, GM one did not last much longer, so not too bad.
