thanks guys, I will do more digging.....and let you know if I get stuck....

 

Question regarding the flex plate.....would it still make noise under load? - thought it doesn't when it has this fault

 

mine does under load.... but it never used to...

Initially they don't make noise under load but as they get worse they will.

Hey Guys.......sh*t.....last sunday I needed to go literally 2 km up the road so I thought I would just take it easy and the damn thing turned off on me and wont turn on now.....

....before you all bomb me...... I know I am a dummass.....I have been told well and truly by my family....DAMN.

 

I pushed it home as I was literally at the end of our road and its been sitting there a week tryning to figure out someone to trust to take it too.....

 

could a flex plate issue do this?....or do you think the engine has siezed?.....I didn't hear anything abnormal as I had music going.....

when I turn it on now it just makes a tick tick tick tick noise, doesnt even sound like it is attempting to turn over, the battery is relatively new, oil level is lowish but okay (Did an oil and filter change about 3 weeks ago)

 

any advise would be appreciated to help me get out of my stupid dumass situation..... :(

I dont like the sound of that.

 

can you check battery voltage? my BA t just stopped one day while driving turned out it was a bad alternator. I didnt have no engine noises though...

Have you got any other details? Have you got electrical power to dash, locks, etc? All fuses ok? Sometimes the most catastrophic symptoms turn out to be something easy!

Sorry didn't see the earlier part of your thread where you were already having issues. You never know ow though - it could be something simple and unrelated.

yip, you are right......she is F%^&%^........

FYI, it wasnt the flex plate, something was wrong with cylinder 6....I just paid for a new engine from a wreckers...$3k (incl spare turbo - hopefully get some cash back for it)

 

expensive....but not much you can do!!....lucky these engines are reasonably cheap!!..

those tie downs must be strong to hold the whole car upside down... and the tyres on the truck must be stuck with some powerful glue to hold the truck to the asphalt ceiling ;)

 

in all seriousness, pics of damage to cylinder 6?
