Oh wow ! just had a really scary moment in the old Disco, thought I could smell a burning oily kind of a smell looked in the mirror and there was SOOOO much smoke pouring out of the back of the motor, pulled over fairly smartly, and turned the engine off, thinking ive just blown the engine or something (im in the middle of doing a megajolt conversion so was wondering if I had done something really bad to the engine) then ALL THIS SMOKE started billowing out from under the bonnet, I do mean BILLOWING.... jumped out of the disco pretty sharpish...and ran round to the rear door to grab the fire extinguisher and gingerly went round the front by which time the smoke started to clear... opened the bonnet really carefully to be greeted by an engine absolutely covered in oil and thankfully no fire !!
turns out one of the auto gearbox cooler pipes had burst and was throwing ATF onto the fan and all over the headers...
So happy but then [!Expletive Deleted!] off as yet another thing has gone wrong on my piece of junk Disco, and its done it just when its too late to ring around any places to get a spare part so im now motor less for sunday....
