Thread: my disco died

driving up the freeway and lost all power than pulled over and she died
had a look and temp wasnt up poped the bonnet and coolant was overflowing out the lid and now she wont start so im sitting on the freeway waiting for a tow 2 days before christmas looks like no going away for me im over this heap of not going to say it

G'day mate just saw your thread and trust me i know what your going through. i know how you feel especialy when you had things planned out and this had to happen. I was sooooo many times in the situation your in right now, had to give up a drive here and there and even some well looked at holidays BUT like mikey said on his post better to happen here and not while you where away cause i reckon you would feel alot worse. I came very VERY close to given it all up but the thing that changed my mind and am sooooo happy i did was the guys/gals on this forum!!!! I dont have money to spend on my rig but with the help from family and everyone on here i got her working and now am very happy and if i had one wish that would be to fix up everyone that helped me out while i was having problems. I was with out a car for nearly over a month while it was getting fixed, and thats hard when you have a mum that works and 2 little boys.

Mate all i can suggest is try to stick with it and get it all sorted out, even if it takes a while and you might have to put other things off but in the end when she is running great you'll feel alot more happy and have alot more confidence in your rig like i have right now. I'm thinking it might be a head gasket prob and heres hoping its just that and nothing worse.

Mate i wish you all the luck in the world and i reckon you'll have her runnning in no time and again will be enjoying those outings with the fam.

take care
