Why is it problems always appear in multiples?
A month or so ago, I found an oil leak and a coolant leak. Found the root of the oil prob, but its still there, as the problem needs the sump to come off to fix it...
The coolant prob appeared to be fixed after applying some radweld, but apparently not...
On wednesday, I got it to the end of the road and it conked out and wont start. Battery (Charging System) light is on and there is/was a engine speed variable whirr from the RHS of the engine, so my moneys on the alternator. Cos it cranks fine (battery's fine) and all connections are firm, dry and connected...
Better still is the newly acquired rough to no idle. Theres now an ECU fault and thats causing problems.
Seen as when I jacked it up before, there was a good few mL of coolant dripping from around the alternator area, Id hazard a guess that theres a water leak and thats causing the problems.
I would sort it, but I have no tools, no working area and the car's 55miles from all that!
Bugger!! :bang:
