I have this weird fascination with runaway diesel engines.

me too, i actually had one of my cars runaway while driving down the motorway, had 40 miles till home so i kept on going. once i got home i had to cram a magazine over the intake, rebuilt the turbo and it was fine till i sold it

Wow, I automatically assumed that those engines are insta-toast. Must have been very interesting 40 miles, though.

It was a fast journey home, put in 4th and hoped for the best. i tryed to keep the revs down by holding the braked every minute or so. still the most nervous iv been driving a car, not knowing if it was going to last blow up in a big ball of fire
It “only” used 1L ish. it had just dropped below the low mark on the dipstick and was bang on the day before as i had just changed it.
I cut the filter open and didnt find any metal and it sounded fine so i put more oil in it and kept it for about a year, i still miss that car lol
