so I've got my heart sort of hung on it being an issue with the clutch not disengaging due to air in the system, resulting in no or much less damage than a "dead engine". I am surely fond of Ferret II!
This seems strange to me though. Even if the clutch was not fully disengaged, what would cause the engine to "die." With the clutch engaged, it means the power would go to the wheels, and the car would jerk. There was no mention of a jerking action by the mechanic.
It would be one thing if something was wrong with the transmission, but I don't see how the clutch would cause the engine to die.
Ofcourse there are those far more knowledgable than me on this site. Maybe someone could explain it to me.
