Had my MOT yesterday which Im please to say was an easy pass :nod:
Unfortunatley while driving home down some twisty country lanes there was suddenly a loud 'PSSSSST' and my car slowly concked out and I ground to a halt
Put on the hazards and got out to have a look under the hood as my first thought was it sounded boost related, but was not sure why this would cause my car to totally die at the time.
All the hoses looked good and after a couple of mins I went to try again, car cranked, fired up and then the revs just dropped off until it stalled again.
I then went back to have another look still could not see anything, and it was not until I started making a phone call and walked away from the front of the car I noticed the hot pipe had blown off the coupling hose on the intercooler.
Luckly I was not too far from home so had a few tools dropped off and did a bit of road side recovery to get the hose connected back and finish my journey.
So so so glad it was not something else as all sorts of things started going through my head when it first happened :rotfl:
