Is there a limp home mode?
 
Hi all can anyone confirm if there is a limp home mode on a classic turbo 2000 face lift model?
A pigeon decided to go suicidal after hitting another car and ended up sticking to my radiator!
I ended up after a night shift driving down the motorway on the hard shoulder at 30 mph!
After a while the revs built up and it seemed to run smoothish?
I managed to pull the bird out but there was feathers all over radiator.

I going to have a look over the car after I have a sleep anything I should look out for?

Check to make sure theres no leaks from a burst pipe and that the flow in the radiator is not restricted.


Oh and remove any fleshy parts that might be near anything hot........the smell will drive you mad. :lol1:

What's wrong with roast pigeon?

Pigeon was in one piece in the bottom left of the water rad,as looking from the front.

Just lots of feathers all over the rad and a few in the bay.

Going to check for leaks later before I go back to work.

Well i'm going to have a roast for fathers day, going to have a aperitif with it now LOL
