My lovely old 2.5 TDI is done for. I went off a sharp bend last weekend due to a thin layer of diesel over the road. :(I was only doing about 30 on a wet road, but when I turned the wheel she just carried straight on out of the apex of the bend and didn't stop until she hit a Cornish hedge straight on (granite) . It was the most comfortable crash I have ever had , front crumpled like a test car, procon ten did it's thing, pulled the steering in, the lot. Car is stuffed. Straight from the front wheels back though. Anyone want any bits?
It's a total loss, only got TPF&T insurance, nobody to blame, nobody I can get my hands on anyway.:zx11:
Guess I'll have to break it and sell it in bits.
Been scouring ebay hoping to find one with a blown engine or that had been tail-ended but to no avail so far. Such a shame, best car I ever had....
Does anyone know if the 2.5 will go into an 80, seem to be a lot more of them about.
