Re: turbo: new problem, engine dying: old problem - related? 700 1989

Thanks for all responses. I rang local main dealer, explained I can't afford their prices but they offered to look at it free (!) and found an inch-wide hole in a hose, which they sealed with insulating tape to keep the car going. Hope replacing the hose (on order) will do the trick. Whether this has contributed to the intermittent cutting out remains to be seen.

Confused about the flame trap. They didn't look at it - fair enough, they weren't charging - but they think my mechanic may have meant a flame guard instead?
