this one’s broke 
At first i thought it blew an intercooler pipe off but the fitter came out and revealed the turbo had seized.
Pretty poor on a motor with only 165’000 k’s on the clock.
The bang it made scared the crap out of me, thought I’d hit something.
Bloody good job i wasn’t loaded though, it was like being transformed back in time to a 1983 Ford D-series 
Appologies for the poor vid qaulity, it wasn’t that bad before i uploaded it.
Pimp daddy will be pleased!
Don’t knock the D Series 
i can’t believe that you carried on for that long after the turbo went bang
the rule of thumb is, hear a bang, STOP ASAP
if you carry on, you run the risk of shafting the intercooler and then the engine

I clicked it and get a video on another window…
double click the picture and then open it with windows media and it should auto download into windows media and it should then play all on it’s own — it’s magic this windows 7 system

This is my first post (although I’ve been guesting for a while) and I was hoping to make it more, well, interesting. But this quote had me in stitches! Do all fitters say that? I thought it was unique to ours at Concorde in Cheadle Heath back in the day! I’ll never forget nursing, urging, almost getting out and pushing a DAF 17-tonner with chronic clutch slip loaded with Coke fridges or summat over the M62. Guess what he said when I saw him the next morning!
Thats what happens when you visit Truro Gembo

That’l be the ‘ex HGV fitter instinct’ coming out!
““Ah ■■■■ it, its only a pipe come off, Il get it to somewhere off the road””
Turns out myself and the guy that came out were both wrong though

I knew I recognized the road, I only just thought about pausing the ‘photo’ to look at the road sign.
Many road junctions in Cornwall were designed by two blokes drinking coffee whilst looking at the plans.

Haha …one of our night drivers had a turbo go on the m6 just past Corley and carried on to ATHERSTONE TNT as he didn’t think it was important 
so gembos 100 or so yards looks positively angelic

Yeah quite. Those two roundabouts, or are they “half’a-bouts”■■ at the Falmouth road are a friggin joke!
Stopping in the middle of one to cross the other. WTF is that all about?
