Not sure if this video will work. Pained swearing in afraid. I counted 6 seconds to I stalled it.

I have a 1972 beetle and that is completely tax exempt. Just not sure about the vehicle weight and commercial side effecting it 😔

I would check the radiator first, one of the first signs of a blocked, restricted it fins corroded is over heated when under load, if you don't sort it, it will just get worse and worse. Like other have said, feel rad for hot and cold spots. Remove thermostat and see if it still happens if you...

On a side note, I know that my 99 disco has had a boost pin fitted by the previous owner. It's something I've never touched, is it possible that could cause a turbo to fail if set up wrong and how easy is it to put everything back to what it should be, it always had black smoke on hard throttle...

You're right, it is a bit concerning when it happens, all those engines survived so I hope mine did. I fully revved for no longer than 10 second I'm sure. I can't wait for RAC to deliver it so I get get diagnosing. I obviously know the turbo I kaput .....

Thanks, I'll wait and check the engine somewhat before I go buying. I was thinking turning the engine over by hand as a first check......

Yes, definitely turbo. I feel I stopped it fairly quick. It went while driving but as in gear and moving the drivetrain held it back. Wasn't till I pulled over and dropped the clutch that it went for it. I was surrounded by smoke. So much so that a driver going past called the fire service. Two...

Did put this in disco section but thought it might be more relevant here..... Hi everyone, towing my daughter's horse from Folkestone to Gloucester. 40 mins from Gloucester on the A417 yesterday. I suffered a runaway. Black smoke and loss of power. Pulled over and as soon as I dipped the clutch...

Last time I did this it broke within 9 months. So the next one I welded a support to it, been years now, even moved it from my old written off 95 to my current 99 . Wish I'd thought about the rivnut option, I just riveted it all back. I unseized the difflock while I was there. Always with...

Hi everyone, towing my daughter's horse from Folkestone to Gloucester. 40 mins from Gloucester on the A417 yesterday. I suffered a runaway. Black smoke and loss of power. Pulled over and as soon as I dipped the clutch it started. High revs. White smoke everywhere. I can't describe how much there...

Had to laugh at that one ....

Did think about the earlier uj prop conversion but I don't think I need the 2" lift and most of all I didn't have the spare money. I've just swapped the springs from my old '95 as it's written off and on its way to the knackers yard. I had already done the nearside cill with 6mm box section on...

Can't photograph mine as I've already put it back together. This is a photo of the front lower spring mount. The hole in the centre is now to big for the shock absorber.

What about if the tel mute wire or something is somehow connected to a wire. Someone may have moved one of them In there iso plug i suppose. I had that with the illumination wire once. Someone had removed the individual wire and put it back in the wrong place.. just a off rock thought..lol

Thanks, MOT days away and welding needed. Only doing the springs as the rear prop rubber failed due to the lift by previous owner, I didn't see the point of doing the prop internal bush and coupling only for it tho fail again due to the lift. It was only when sliding the prop off that I saw how...

Your going to need a electric multi metre. Should be two iso plugs. One will the speakers. 8 wires, grey pair, purple pair, green pair and a white pair. Each pair will have a solid colour on one and a black tracer line on the other. Other plug will be the power. I can't remember the colours of...

I had already checked. I found them I think 024 and 025? Look like a tenner each plus all the usual extras. 😃 Just a tedious job taking it all apart again 😔🤕😔

Hmmm, I like your thinking, I did think of that myself but then I thought, I need a washer the correct size for the inner bush washers to locate inside? That could be difficult...... Maybe.......?
