smoke... bits... debris... its ace seeing it appear from the back of the car

Figured out why the Elite felt like it was down on performance even after the new leads were fitted... backbox was blocked... Actually sounded like an air-leak during acceleration. Car did pull fine, just sometimes it 'lacked'
So heading home today, press the
Silly button, go to overtake a lorry... Nope, not having it... Goes past somewhat slowly, and BOOOM!! Look out the rear, bits of crap flying everywhere, oh f*@k I think, expecting the worst... but no... The car then kicks forward and goes like a bat outa hell down the road! No warnings, lights, noises (other than a mighty Growl from the rear) Ace

Actually looked like I'd sucked in a cat and blew it out the exhaust when I pulled up. Bits of that wool stuff everywhere, the backbox looked like a tin of beans had exploded on an open fire

Anyways, £90 later and a Very burnt bloke at the garage (apparently it went bang again when they were taking it off... Don't know!) and I have a new backbox fitted, and a much more pokier V6
