The Superlight is unwell
So, out on the SL for a little blat around the country lanes yesterday evening, strange 'crunching' sort of noise then rear wheel locks solid. Skid sideways up road at x mph (where x is a large number), pull in clutch, coast to side of road.
Manage to get into neutral (so gearbox not seized) but ominous 'dead' click when pressing starter (only the once....)
2 hour wait for recovery (at least it didn't rain)
I'm not very technical (understatment) so what's gone wrong ? Belt snapped ? Piston ring(s) ?
Answers on a postcard please
