Could be a challenge for Mark
I'll have to start being nice to Mr DTM ;)

Not that I have time now before the lakes to do anything drastic.


And in its current state, no way will it make it that far  :'(

Came off a roundabout, foot hard down, revs went up, speed went down.  Just like a slipping clutch.

I waited 10 mins, let it all cool, then limped home (1/2 mile).  I suspect low fluid, as when I braked, I seemed to get good solid drive back for a couple of secs.

I will look at level tomorrow after I have bought more DIII

No. How do I do that? Isn't it ECU controlled like all the petrol cars?

As you can tell, I know nothing about diesels - I understand the basics of how it works, but little more  :-[

Dont know myself, will have a look. Im thinking back to the start of this saga and just wondering about possible causes of excess heat generation rather than under-cooling
