running sweet as a nut all day

then i was waiting outside my gf's work to pick her up ad it cut out on me

then that was it smoke pouring under my feet
ecu fuse had fried tok loads of other fuses with it
lost all power pulled up at the side of the road

got towed away again should not be much to sort out
new fuses and fusebox wonder what caused it, the fuse is off when it was a gti

Buy a fire extinguisher! I always carry one! (in the car I mean)

I would say that something must have shorted to cause that!

back on the road again

the relay for the fuel system was 30 and it should of been a 32
changed the fuse box and relays that were damaged and put a 32 in

testing it all day had it running no probs so i been out and about in it again
all seems fine

then the cos pulled me over for no tax but i taxed it yesterday
and the new disc was in my window so he left it at that and admired my car

photos to follow soon when i get the disc from the photoshoot it had at the transporter bridge in middlesbrough

bet the copper was impressed when he found it there was a VR lurking with intent under the bonnet.

I thought they took that bridge down and sent it to arizona  :laugh:
