General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?

« on: 15 June 2016, 00:08:12 »

Attempted to stop my rear chassis legs from disappearing completely by rubbing down with a wire brush and then daubing fertan rust killer on them. I still have to get the rear pads changed and probably the discs too.

Cheers

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Changed alternator, new battery but still it died

« on: 12 June 2016, 16:48:49 »

It's not that long ago I fitted a recon alternator to my 3.2 estate. because one day I thought the drivebelt was looking a bit tatty so I went and bought a new belt, tensioner and waterpump thinking that i'd treat the car to some new parts. but I found out the waterpump wasn't quite the same as the original and if fitted would result in the pulley being further in towards the engine and the fixing bolts would hit the pump casing so that little exercise stopped before it started. but I thought i'll put the new belt on anyway and all went well until I got about 5 miles down the road and the alternator died on me and then when id finished that I took it for another drive only to have the oil light come on.

If I can remove the wheelarch screws on my estate then ill probably have much worse greeting me when the rear bumper is finally off. and if it's anything like the sills and chassis legs  and if I cant hold off the rust for as long as possible then i'm afraid it's bye bye car.
