Check engine!
Came on all day yesterday and i thought i would have heaps of time before anything bad happened but not to be- went to start it this morning and no chance. The fan belt was going heaps louder than usual & the first few goes it sounded like it was almost going to start & i accelerated and it died. It then backfired (i think) although it sounded like something in the engine had exploded. hmmmm
Managed to eventually start it tonight after tightening an attachment under bonnet (thanks brad) though it still sounded very ill and i drove it to the garage (30 kms away). It was reving at a bit less than 500 when i was stopped which is unusual.....
anyway, hope its back by next weekend - will now be heading to jindy 4 run this weekend in an alternative vechile :(
My friend called today and said she saw a filthy (as in very dirty) black svx in Double Bay at lunchtime today- this could not possibly be you James?
