    Disco runs on water!!!

    For about 28 klms,,,,,


    Left work the other day,,
    had about 15-20 litres in the tank,,
    Put about $40 in at Tiaro Shell,,
    Got about 7 klms down the road,,
    dropped to 7.
    By 14 had dropped to 5.
    By 24 had dropped to 3.
    By 28 had dropped to ? 1.5, .5?
    In the end would not move in Low 1st,

    This was about 2 hours after leaving work.

    Then had to walk 4klm
    in the rain,
    in the dark,
    in the forest,
    until I could get a signal.

    BUB91 is still in the shop, yes it was water,
    injectors are stuffed,
    yes the servo IS paying,

    I now know of at least 25 cars effected by this,,,

    and thats just the ones heading north---- :roll:

    There are two types of people in this world, good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours
