I've had it happen, took my 18month old 206 into a main dealer for service and to cut a long story short they filled the oil level upto the top on the way home it ran on oil and revved it's t1ts off and I couldn't stop it - broke the engine mounts in the end and was close to bouncing on the under side of the bonnet lol

This used to be an issue with Tanks when I was in the army once you got a runaway all you could do was wait lol

Not at all. I've seen it happen. Young lady sitting at the lights revving away - smoke billowing. I think 'FFS you are going to blow that up' Then she jumps out and looks panicky. I get out of my car and she explains it won't stop revving. Quote me "Have you tried turning it off?" - She shows me the keys in her hand. Dumping the clutch in 5th isn't immediately obvious. Stood there having a good think for a few seconds. A million ways to stop a petrol car come to mind. None for diesels though. By this stage you couldn't see for smoke, so I was contemplating how to make my escape when the thing blew up. Never did know why this happened until I read this thread

Lovely site when she goes though like a diesel version of a mushroom cloud. The look of sheer panic on the womans face still cracks me up, she looked like her car had been possesed by satan.
