I think i've killed the DB7...

I had to share it here first as you guys would understand, I'm not looking for sympathy or forgiveness but i do feel bad...very bad. it was/is pretty and delicate and refined but it is not a patch on the Cerb.

We have had some nice dry spells recently and I've had chance to hoon a bit, and have used the Aston but yesterday enroute to pick No.1 daughter from the station the 7 let go...plooms of white smoke from both barrels and a temp needle rising off the scale. Dosen't appear to have thrown anything out of the pram but may have cooked itself. Gutted though, and now Mrs C has to drive the Land Rover yikes

No signs before it let go?. Hopefully its just the headgasket. Still it will be an expensive job whatever it is. What a gutter.

Thus far we have found two split water hoses, this may be looking not so bad, will update as and when they're fitted...fingers crossed the Head Gasket is ok.

it's a 6

H.G. ok was just a couple of burst hoses, flushed the coolant and replaced Oil and filter and all is well,
all done for just under £250 could have been a lot worse.
