Thanks for taking the time. It's appreciated. I'll check everything I can tomorrow and report back.

Don't apologise. Keep it smple I really do have no idea and appreciate any help I can get.

That doesn't sound too bad. Isthat the first cat? Looking down the lefthand side of the engine when I stopped somehing looked very hot! Buying a new manifold from Nic which replaces first cat will that cure this?

Spray

:D Thanks. I'll have a look tomorrow. Btw do actually kow what a distributor is! (and even what it does, kind of)

Oh come on what does that mean? And more importantly, is it expensive??

Never actually brokedown as such. Even when I stopped on the motorway, ( on motorway could only manage about 45mph) could still start it. When I stopped in bournemouth It would start but not idle. Waited for 5 minsstarted and just made it home. Now as you know I'm no expert, but, when I lifted the bonnet it did smell hot and there was smoke coming from somewhere. (Don't ask me where!! On the left at the bottom somewhere)

No offence taken. Seriously I know nothing. Really it's quite embarrassing getting to my age knowing so little. I think I'm going to have to make more of an effort now. Haven't had a chance to check the dipstick and what the hell is a coolant bottle???lol

OK? And that means what? Sorry I told you I know nothing. From what I've read on here I thought the orange light was low oil level?

Took rad cap off. Not steaming as such just hot. Temp gauge normal. Happened with air-con on, and later with it off.

Firstly I have to admit I have absolutely zero knowledge about what happens under the bonnet of my car. (I fill it with petrol, clean it and pay the bills) So please keep it simple and forgive me if I sound like a t**t. Drove from Bournemouth to Basingstoke this morning app. 60 miles mainly motorway, no problems. When I drove back had gone about 40 miles, doing about 80, put my foot down and nothing would accelerate for a second and the completely lose power then accelerate again. By the time I was able to stop had the main red ! triangle light on, the ! light by the temp gauge and a light in the centre console that looks like an exhaust box with smoke coming off?! Stopped for 30 mins, checked radiator, that was full but steaming and set off again. Got back to bournemouth and broke down again. Stopped for five minutes to cool down and got home. Also I think at one point the orange oil light may have come on. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I love that game. And I don't like cats!!

and Hope you get your supra soon.

Good to see you back:thumbs: Good luck with the sale.

It was mine. Changed it when I saw someone else had taken it. I did have it first but I'm the newbie so looking for something else. Thanks for noticing H.

These could be a repost. If they are I'm sorry, ok? I did use the search button but we all know it doesn't work!!!! I'm sure someone will manage to dig up a two year old thread. Oh well! Anyway I found these whilst trawling the interweb. anyone got anything worse?

Of course! Makes perfect sense now. whats the reason supras are so greddy? Cmon. We don't know. What's the punch line? KIANI

Greedy????????????

Ooh chickens for me please!

Cock Inn . I'm sorry I've had way too much to drink I'm, off to bed now.

You're thinking of Ikea.

I don't know if God exists or not. No-one does. However, I for one, do not believe, and, in fact, I hate religion. All religions. This joke explains why. I do think it's very funny but also very sad because it is so true. I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well, are you religious or atheist?" He said, "Religious." I said, "Me too! Are your Christian or Buddhist?" He said, "Christian." I said, "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?" He said, "Protestant." I said, Me too! Are your Episcopalian or Baptist? He said, "Baptist!" I said, "Wow! Me too! Are your Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord? He said, Baptist Church of God!" I said, "Me too! Are your Original Baptist Church of God or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?" He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God!" I said, "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915!" I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off. As far as I'm concernered religion=intolerance=hatred. In all of our history religion has cost far more lives than it has saved.
