i am currently sat on the hard shoulder of the m40 awaiting aa recovery so while I wait though I would be fine diagnosis. I have limited ability to check things where I am due to the location but a list of things to check once home would be good.
Symptoms
Cruising along the motorway quite happily at an indicated 70mph at about 3000 rpm
Loss of power. With a lot of gray/white smoke for about 30seconds the cut out
Will now not restart. Cranks over with no problem but no sign of life
Have quickly check the stop soloiniod is still connected. The oil level is still correct. And the lift pump feels like it is still pumping (hand lever) I have had these fail many times and it does not match previous failures.
Does anyone else have anything I can easily check at the side of the motorway to see if I can get started again?
What sort of things should I be checking once I get it back home and have space and tools?
