I came from my nightshift 7 a.m. this morning, approached a stop light, waiting for green.

As i realized some strange and misterious sound out of the engine bay.

I thought for a second: OK, it is very cold and it is still a diesel can

That's bad luck! :(

That's bad luck! :(

Yes ... if I only got one EURO for every nerd, asking

me why I bar his way and why I don

Sorry to hear that Carsten .............hope you are soon back on the road , without too much damage to your wallet.

OUCH !

Sorry to hear about the sudden stop, Traffic must have been very bad @ 7 a.m. in the middle of a city.

Keep us posted.

Steve

Oh dear, have you lost drive or is it stuck in gear?

Clutch gone to the floor?

Sorry to hear that Carsten. It's almost as if the car has a mind of it's own - "Let's see - where would be the most inconvenient place possible to break down :rubchin: "

Yes .. the traffic was horrible ... It was very bad

standing around in the cold, getting moaned at

by so much folks ....

After some tries from the garage, which I have

been towed to for diagnostics, the wheels had

been moveable again.

The clutch comes still up, but it seems not to

separate correctly..

Shifter stick seems to have be moved with more

power and does not "lock on" precise :confused:

Driving may be possible..

But I refused to try around too much.

I did not want to risk more damage, so I have

to wait now for the "expert-opinion" from the

Garage...

Oh yes ... But it could have been much worse... I was around the ring and in Belgium with my girlfriend on sunday...

Guess, how bad it have been, when it broke down in the middle of the snow-covered belgian countryside...

Would have been a good excuse to use each others body heat to keep warm eh Carsten Cars always break down in the wrong place at the wrong time :(

Hope you got it sorted though

oh dear, sounds just like when my gearbox imploded. hopefully it gets sorted soon, is it being done under warrenty?

Sounds bad enough...

And worse than being hit from behind, as happened to me in snowy conditions this morning. Even AWD and winter tyres can't help against some git thinking he can keep his usual braking distance on a snow-covered surface. :(

Fortunately, the Octy held out well. The PDC sensors are knackered but the rest looks fine - although it might just be the bumper moving back into shape... Will have it investigated thoroughly. However, the Peugeot Boxer - a car by that name should take hits well, you'd think - was showing its distinct French lack of build quality all too well!

hope he admitec responsability Mr.Dutch man

Sounds bad enough...

Oh ... that is bad luck too ...

beein hit from behind is very awful ... at least you missed the terrible sound

of screaming tyres coming closer

Yeah Carsten, but you missed the sickening "thunk" :(

Yes ... what an awful sound :scared:

Yes ... what an awful sound :scared:

One I've heard too many times :(

Rang up the Garage today .... They took a look at my clutch and gearbox after having all that stress with it on tuesday....

They found a nut in the shift mechanism .... Perhaps a rodent might have stored it there

But to be sure, anything is ok .. He

Nut as in vegetable rather than mineral? Ooops.
