Just had myself a lovely run in with a 'run away diesel' in my ZR TD
Basically driving home from Tesco, my turbo made a strange clunking sound then started screaming and tinging and lost all power.
Decided to baby the car home as I was like half a mile from my house, got into my street and my street was COVERED in white smoke, then she started to run away.. got to 3kprm luckily I reacted quick as I was expecting it foot on brakes into 5th stalled first time.
Oh yeah second turbo in 6 months..
