I have owned the car since June 2003, but has been off the road for last few years awaiting engine & gearbox rebuild - the car having skidded to a halt without applying the brakes!

Hi Ian,

Welcome to the forum! Nice to see another Midas in Devon.

heh heh, the one and only time it happened to me it was due to large parts of the gearbox making a break for the fresh air.

i had a similar situation in summer.....large parts of gearbox appearing, however I was sailing a 50ft boat.....and it broke in two disconnecting engine from propellor just as the night was drawing in, several miles offshore. That was real despair! lol
