Question My scooby is sick n needs a doctor!!!



Just got back from Newquay driven 900 miles in the cat n was having a blast! Got as far as bazvegas 15 miles to go cained it away from that stupid hazbeen roundabout on the 127 then cough splutter dead!! Rolled into a handy layby n checked every thing obvious, the cat would start with the throttle flat on the floor as if flooded but would not tick over? My friendly mechanic dropped everything @ 8pm on a saturday night to give me a hand BIG BIG BIG THANX STEVE (MG Garage on the 127)!!!
He came to the conclusion that either a pipe has come off or a sensor has gone down as their was far to much fule being pumped into the system, their was LOTS of black smoke and flames out of the exhaust, turbo running ok, and no water in the oil? He managed to get the car home 4 me by clamping up one of the fule hoses to restrict the amount going in!!

If anyone can offer me any advise or help please reply or call me on 07855 818125 steve is a genius but scoobys are a bit alien to him!!

Thank you.

Chris....

Check the dump valve too. If the pipes have come off ,this might be the cause

LOL That will teach u 4 reversing up the kerb with such big mud flaps!!
Seriously though m8 hope it didn't cause any real damage if it did let me know as I feel really bad?

By the way that intercooler fan kit was made by ZERO SPORT n still cant find any info on it but have the cables n switch gear 4 it?
