“First, on the way home through outback Queensland, kangaroos started jumping at my Prado, it was just crazy, instead of moving out of the way, they were actually slamming into the car,” says Hill, who eventually “limped across the NSW border and into Bourke for repairs”.
This isn't unusual, it sounds like he didn't even outfit his Prado with either.
“started blowing blue smoke and then blew up”.
“The mechanics are still mystified as to what caused the engine to fail,” says Hill, who believes “it was no doubt a result of the curse”.
Here is what a quick web search gave me....
Other possible causes of blue exhaust smoke include: piston wear, worn valve seals, a dirty or non-functioning PCV valve, worn piston rings, an intake manifold gasket leak, worn engine oil seals and possibly even head gasket failure. Oil leaking into the cylinders can cause a rough idle, misfire and fouled spark plugs.
I'm sorry to bring logic and reason into this. :P
