Yup,

Sixfan has blown another one....

I gave the T a really carefull wash this evening and on pulling the car back into the shed and shutting it down....oh, what's that coffee grinder noise?

It's my rapidly expiring turbo grinding it's way to oblivion....

now, the thing that kinda is annoying about all this is that I've been driving it bloody carefully, I haven't even been doing 180...

Still like the car, love the BA, love the way it handles, I still want a phoon but... I'm looking at a GT-P I'm sick of all my mates laughing at me and my T.

Sorry I shouldn't laugh, but you've definately got it down pat now.

It could have been more fun, you know, like smoke and flames and stuff with the T giving it's all to defeat a HSV..but nup.

It died with a wimper.

never mind, god love the extended warranty.

The service manager is going to sh1t when he sees me.

I fink you will find its because he lives in the NT and drives as any sane person would given the chance.

Because the OHS nancy's do not permit Ford employees to drive at more than 120Km/h on public roads (remember reading that whilest testing a GT in the NT they were overtaken by a grandpa in a Camry....towing a trailer) :spoton:

As a result they are only tested at speed on the proving ground in Vic, so are not designed to be driven at high speed for hours in the NT's heat.

At least that's what I remember reading somewhere on this place.

But he's taken it easier on his last turbo. I know it's under warranty, but are they worth a pop?
