bomber1 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 my problem seems quite minor tbh i had a bit of brake binding on the nsf caliper on the consul. probaly due to lack of use apart from a short run for its mot it hasent been anywhere since this event last year
BaileyMex Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 No problems from my house to the ace and no ploblems from the ace right down to brighton, BUT On the way home taking some back roads to avoid the traffic, god dam shitty roads hit a some big bumps on the uneven road and I think I've broke something, got a horrid banging/clonking comming from the rear end, had a look but cant see anything Need to take it to work and get it up on the ramps YAY Sorted!! the rear section of the exhaust had worked loose probably from all the shitty pot holes on the crap back roads of brighton and looked like it had been twisted round and had started knocking on the axle PHEW Sounded a lot worse than it was
JAY PS Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 i broke down on the m25 between 8 and 9 on the way there!!! alternator belty had come off and the pulley had come undone!!! towed of the 25 by the aa to a layby where a patrol guy took the alternator off, tightened it all up in his vive, back together, quick compression test and all was good!!! took 3 hours out of the day but least we got there Yeah i saw you as i pulled past on the M25 and saw you again in layby at reigate about 11.30 am ,glad you made it ,you looked a bit stressed
JAY PS Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Im sure everyone overtook me while I waited for my brake caliper to cool down after jamming on on the motorway from pease to brighton, I was revving about 4/5 and going about 29mph I reckon-smoking!Thanks to everyone for stopping to help out Fook me I drove all the way back home from brighton without touching my brake pedal once!... We went flying down the hard shoulder when all of a sudden the traffic came to a sharp halt, dodgy. Cant believe I didn't blow the gearbox to bits with so many hardcore down changes! My handbrake deserves a medal of honour too Top Day Yeah you caused a traffic jam when you was stuck in the layby as people were rubbernecking to a;see your car and b to see what youd hit !!!

borneo Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Bloody car wouldn't even start! Turned out oil had dripped on the starter motor and caused a bad connection. By the time I got it sorted it was all to late. Gutted!
