f*ck Jacob, glad to hear your ok and could just imagine what you went through, would be interesting to find out what caused it as Fords have a shutdown mode if either of the TPS or foot pedal sensor malfunction. But most of all, you walked away and that is a blessing for you.

I just dont know guys if we can we will look into it not that it will change anything cos its not insured, like I said im not in trouble and I really dont want people to see all the mods. It seemed like somethings failed maybe the rear brakes I dunno I checked today and the floor mat was over the accelerator on a stupid angle and under the brake pedal could have happened on impact.

Hell maybe I just had too much forward momentum it happened pretty quick.

I love cars and going fast like most of yas so all I can say is take care and wouldn't wish this stuff on anyone.

I got a full flush and filter change for my ZF today at Highbury Automotive Services & Repairsand wow its like brand new! Well worth the money to get it done got the filter and gasket from Motospec for around $120 and the Guld Western Syntrans oil from Autopro for $150.

Hi mate, how many litres did you need for the trans I was told there is 15L needed for a complete service.

[SPOOLAX]

Yep that's about right mate

Thanks jet for the reply. Thought it might be the clutch... And no I wasn't sideways in third I don't drive the car like that at all. Just wierd how it just went. Bruce said he didn't like the clutch but I thought it was fine.

I called him yesterday about a burning smell coming in the aircon. And I thought it was because when the coolant pipe pissed coolant onto the engine bay and that black material bonnet cover. He said it would be expected that coolant will stink for awhile and you will get it coming through the aircon. In the end it must of been the clutch because it was the same smell when smoke came out last night.
