Slight miss/hesitation and odd noise once switched off

<< < (2/2)

Phil Mcavity:
could be a bad batch of fuel. No warning lights or anything?.

Soundlab:
Nope, no warning lights, etc.  Everything else seems fine.

Just got slightly concerned when I heard this "glugging" sound after switching it all off.  As you say, could be a pressure release  valve or something like that.

You realise I have a fear of being trapped under a vehicle and refused to change rims without chocking the other three wheels and placing the removed wheel next to the jack should the jack fail?

I also had a mate bring an ambulance and a fire truck round so if anything did happen, I'd be taken to hospital fairly quickly.

Furthermore I took the liberty of texting the ITU consultant and telling him what I was about to do just so he'd know what injuries to expect. I also asked him to inform the Trauma and Orthopaedics registrar so he could prepare a theatre on standby.

I then had a thiry minute long chat with immediate family members and told them I loved them. I also told them where my will was and where I had buried the treasure.

That's why it was 3pm when I had started to change the wheels and ran out of daylight.

Also, soundlab if you listen closely, when you put the key in and turn it, just before starting the ignition, there's a whole load of noises coming from the engine bay.

There's also some funny noises when you turn the car off and a little red light flashes too.
