Engine Problems


Last Sunday on the way home from Felixstowe I had a dramatic loss of power in poor old Berta's engine.

Took Engine out yesterday and one of the Cylinder heads is fooked so getting one A.S.A.P and then is back to all systems go.

Yeah and that's why Sniper is banned from ever owning a VW again. no  He had 2 Beetles that died with engine failure and other costly problems, a Golf GTi that died in an accident and VW Caddy pick-up thingy that was just dead.

glad to hear Berta's getting better - I saw her the other night with her tailend in the air in your front garden - not a happy state to be in! - TTFN
