well its happened! yesterday driving home from thetford train station and the xud ranaway on me....revved to over 6,000 rpm for 3 seconds then back down to normal, then it was pouring bluey grey smoke out the back for the rest of the way home it was massively down on power and missfiring like a biatch. got it home and took the intercooler off and looked it over and couldnt work out what was going on....no oil in the intercooler? so turbo is fine! then noticed boost compensator pipe is full of diesel! so it must have sucked diesel into the intake when it ranaway! so drove it gently with the compensator pipe off and plugged up to see if it cleared. on the=is gentle drive.... BANG!!! clatter clatter clatter....blew the starter motor clean off the block, punched holes in the sump and cracked the gearbox, and went through my nice new radiator! i think my rods made a bid for freedom! most annoying thing is, the car has 12 months MOT on it and i just filled it up with diesel! will upload pictures tomorrow!!
