Okay straight to the point. Me and my best mate has traveled 2.5hrs to Brisbane to out a alt in his bro Jimny. After been told from racq it was alt we put in mine from my Jimny. Got down here put it all in and headed straight for home. Lost them in the city. He rang and said the car has died. No engine lights or nothing what could it be

[joel]

battery?

[zooky08]

Battery is charged.

[Mattmorgo]

All terminals connected? Charge getting to battery?

[joel]

good earth? explain more please, is it turning over or just nothing at all?

[zooky08]

Just nothing at all. We have a spare battery. We'll try that

[joel]

yep try the spare battery, than if nothing get back to us,
i suspect battery, bad earth or starter motor?
has he been wheeling it in mud recently?

[zooky08]

Not quite sure, I think he said beach.
After swapping alternator we started the car nd he got down the road it it just stoped.
We have to fine him in the middle of the city first

[joel]

its a small city and its dead on a sunday, so shouldnt take long.
check to make sure the alternator plug isnt damaged and the cable is fine and everyhting is wired up properly, ie, the erath.
throw the other battery in, if it still wont turn over, i would be looking at the starter.
check all the fuses.
if it will turn over but wont strart, its a fuel problem, pop a fuel line off an injector and see if its pissing fule when it turns over, if it isnt work backwards, fuel pump, blocked/damaged line, filter in the tank.
find him and get back to me, i feel like im contributing in a helpful way!

[zooky08]

Okay done a belt. So put in second battery so that's all we have. So we might park the car up nd head home, and come get it tommorow

[joel]

aha let that one slip my process, is the belt completely snapped?

[zooky08]

Yes completely snapped

[joel]

use some leggings, panties etc etc, or just go to the servo and they have belts on the wall, find one near enough and adjust the tensioner, should get it home.

[zooky08]

We are a bunch of teenagers well they are with no money after the weekend. They can't even afford a burger from Maccas let alone a belt. So it's geting parked up untill we can get down here again with a belt.

[zooky08]

Cheers for all the help any way

[2stroker]

Mate have you got somewhere safe to leave it if not too far from me I am happy to help

[whincup]

if the belts snapped the water pump isnt turning...

Edit: just read it's a jimny i dont know them

[zooky08]

The car is parked in a carpark, so hopefully pretty safe from dickheads. Neally at now. What a long night. Got work at 5

[zooky08]

Was busy for a Sunday night

[Scales]

epic effort, hows the caffeine levels this mornin?
What are you going to use for an alternator in the meantime?

oh, and... sounds like he's got a top quality Jimny thats well looked after....

sound reminder for people to check their belts, which reminds me to do the same

[zooky08]

I'm fine no coffee for me. I'm young and fit. 3hrs sleep and I'm good as gold. Makes a slow day at work though.
He just bought the car. The belt was really old and britle.. Was going to break sooner or later, just had to be when he's 2.5hrs from home. Racq road assist, didn't give a shot that wouldn't help us.

That is poor form..

[Scales]

Ah so no coffee, just battery acid drinks for you then?

yeah ive heard some rippers about racq in the past. my mate just told me they left his wife on the side of a dodgy road at 1130pm waiting for a tow truck for a hour or 2 as they didnt have a radiator hose for her car. which she already told them was busted over the phone with details of model etc BEFORE they sent the bloke out, he was like "oh your hose is busted i dont have that, seeya"

Im considering cancelling my membership for my missus but i dont wanna risk it when i work away from home. but if thats the level of service....

anyway sorry to go OT just then. BTW i laughed at your superior spelling of Urgent. /end grammar nazi
