Its not the clutch woohoo

Well at dinner time to day i gave her a good wash out, and the yard mechanic, said what are you doing so i told him,he had a look,he said there's nothing wrong with that clutch what so ever :D he said to get it checked as he dose HGVS.
so on the way home she was running fine till i went over a speed bump and it started again :twisted: but worse this time,so i pulled over and she not firing right had a pull about nothing changed so i just spluted my way home 35 mph max with people giving me grief :lol:

Well my truck has finally got to me, I cleaned the egr valve, and it still looks newish,and it did not solve the promblem.
I went out in it and it't just the same,so I went down the A46 to give her I good run,and it just packed up,so she is at Eurotow recovery and repair at Worcester now, Mark the mechanic is going to have a look tomorrow,but I don't think its looking good :!:

Well after throwing my dummy out,i decided its not going to beat me so i got her back yesterday :dance: ,and i am well happy now,all fixed she runs better then ever :dance:
His code reader was coming up with no fault,so he got a chap who did a tech 2 dealer tool thingy on it,and he found one of the 24 vales was sticking.
So after a strip down and 5 days later i got her back and only cost £112 :shock: to do and i and i am claiming it back as the engine is still under warranty after its part engine rebuild and they agreed it after i had spoke to the manager, as i had it done by another garage.
So happy days :dance:
