Hi all.

Been missing for a few days as stuff happened.

The stuff started with a call from my son saying he'd arrived home to find his wife lying on the floor with paralysis of all 4 limbs and no speech. 15 month Oliver toddling around her. He's waiting for the paramedics. .

So, throw clothes etc. in the car and off we go for babysitting duties.

Car died completely on the A1 north of Wetherby services - fortunately where there's still a hard shoulder. Tow truck duly arrives and the 75 promptly fires up to get onto the cradle for the front wheels .

Towed off the A1 and swapped over to a flatbed at Scots Corner for the rest of the journey arriving at 2am. And yes, she fired up again to come off the flatbed and get parked up onto the drive .

Courtesy of a good mate on here (many thanks Rich ) got in touch with Brian who came out on Saturday morning with the T4.

Eventually diagnosed as a flooded plenum (I was sure it was dry ) and 'cus the guy is a legend he'd brought a replacement ECU with him. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=310985

All fitted and coded in and hey presto off we go. And of course, a full health check done which revealed low boost pressure so there's some replacement O rings to be done.

With grateful thanks to my friends on here for their time, help and knowledge. You're genuinely good people.

And daughter in law is back at home, pretty much fully recovered from some sort of catatonic seizure.

Sometimes life throws curved balls and it's only with the selfless support folks with big hearts of that we can dodge them.

Take care all.
