Dam, dam, dam
« on: 31 July 2010, 17:44:42 »
Got a call to say the loco had failed on its first trip this morning....it 'just lost power'

So went to have a look and it was 'lacking essential fluids'

In this case diesel

Dow!

(not my fault I should add)

The muppets, dont they check the fuel gauge before a journey - does it have a fuel gauge (Or is it a dip stick - or is that just the driver in this case)  :-/

Thankfuly its self bleeding tony.

There ia a gauge on the side of the tank and its close to empty ( there will be 44 years of sludge in the bottom)

It was a mainline driver and they are not used to having to check fuel levels themselves

Nah, it has run oil pressure switches and water pressure switch which shut down the engine so no worries there

aye its ole school,no crank sensors and whatever sensors and ecu,s and abs ecu,s and motors on the headlights and selector switches and whichever sensors lol,to be fair i love omegas but look in the car chat and its page after page of faults and computer related probs,we havent gone forward if you ask me..bring back points and condensors,cap and leads,if it didnt run youd run out of petrol,yer pump were gone or no spark simples,if it were diesel it just needed diesel and a simple solenoid open on the pump to let it in
