parents broke my omega
« on: 24 January 2007, 18:35:43 »
aaarrrgggh >:(
lent my motor to my folks due to them having car issues
they come into work today and say, "come look at your  car"
i go out expecting a smashed motor.
father starts it up and says "look at the dash" so i look and my battery light is up glowing, when he revs it the light gets brighter????
  then he tells me when he was driving it all the lights were flashing.
could it be the earth wire, as ive seen a few threads earlier yesterday by chance that may suggest that, but i thought i could be the diode pack in the alternator
 another technician at work says it could be the tensioner on the belt but that doesnt appear to be too loose.
   anybody got any quick fire way of finding out? i used to strip alternators so that should be easy enough to do if thats it
   thanks in advance love from the crow

measure batt voltage at 2500 rpm. over 14.4v, or under 13.8v, alternator regulator or diode pack is knack'd

Alternator reg failed short circuit, dead easy to fix once the alternator is off.........

Its this part by the way:

Whilst you are at it, worth changing the two bearings a well.....the bearings are standard items:

6303RS and 6203RS - on of each.

I think we have gone too PC mad.

I call all sorts of people from different backgrounds/religions/sexual tendencies all sorts of names.

I personally do not think its racist/sexest/ageist unless there is malicious intent.

If some people are too sensitive and take offence at any comments I make (which would never be with malicious intent), then I'm afraid me and that person will probably not get along....


BTW, if I am maliciously rude to anyone, it will not be racist/sexest etc etc.  It will be because I think they are a idiot, and completely unrelated to anything else.
