my fan belt went the other day and of course steering went stiff then engine stopped. towed it home replaced fan belt. the motors turning but the car wont start. have i done something wrong, im quite sure i havent fitted the belt incorrectly as it only seems to fit one way. as i say it just dosent seem to be firing
i had similar problem so changed battery, but problem was till there so checked across terminals and was getting some high readings . turned out it was the aternator. its a possibility. check with meter when enghine running if it goes over 14.4 then you could have same problem
hello all, have replaced battery but limp mode still on. did paperclip test code 0560 high voltage. got meter across terminals with engine on was reading about 14.85 pressed accelerator went up to 18. is this an alternator problem (does it need replacing. or is it something else
Mike i should imagine anything is smoother than Rover, but i would love quite car again. maybe like you i just didnt notice noise, or previuos owner put sawdust in or something and as dissolved noise came back
when i first got my car about 2.5 years ago it was very quiet. but sometime last year got a little rattelly, at first i assumed tappets, but im told they are self adjusting so should not rattle. i asked mechanic and he said that it wasnt a problem, maybe loose rocker box cover. i have had the cover replaced as wrong one installed but still rattly. its no louder than when first started but i would like it quiter any ideas?
have topped up so often probably unfair to call acid, maybe homemade electrical water. theres probably a point where topping up just dosent cut the mustard. funny how this problem hasnt occured before when battery was extremely flat. maybe the voltage or amps go all weird after a certain point and electronics say thats it weve had enough.
hello entwood, ive been charging same battery for a while although its still got decent amount of juice, maybe getting to low on amps or something and is time to throw in towel and purchase new one
tried paperclip test, flashed 10 times, i was expecting 12, then i got 56 fault code then could not make any sense of whatever else it did. i did watch videoclip looked easy (when i did it it wasnt.)there was another fault code, but i waited for repeat maybe im being dim but that didnt repeat 3 times so do not know what the prob is what i meant by 12 is 1 then 2 repeated 3 times
