I only discovered the FPR vacuum pipe had come off the car when it was too late - the damage had been done
.
this occassion the car was being reved in third at high boost it it went flat instantly so the pipe had just popped the turned off instantly then the pipe but back on and drove home at normal speeds ! i know this i dealt with it atm with powers !
now if he carried on driving it or trying to then i agree but not the case
