Broken down, help please.

[Stay Puft]

Driving a long, car suddenly feels like it hit the limiter for a split second and the green gearstick light and eml came on, then went, all normal. Went in shop, came out, key in, no dash lights, nothing. Left it, then it started. 10 seconds later it did the limiter thing again and cut out, and now struggles to start but then wont even try, just clicks. I have battery power sometimes, other times nothing. f**k it!

 

[Stay Puft]

Poked around with a screwdriver in the rain, massive spark almost hit me in the face. Seems I didnt secure the positive battery wire the other day..

 

[Jekyll]

So its all good now?

 

[Stay Puft]

Well I got home and it drove fine! Seemed some strange symptoms for a loose battery but im (clearly) no mechanic!!

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah that will happen if not fitted correctly.

 

[ADS_V6]

Thank god its sorted and you didn't get charged by a garage

 

[imprezaworks]

Such a bright spark ^

 

[Mr Plums]

Thats a positive!

 

[imprezaworks]

No negative outcome here.

 

[Jekyll]

Well its all positive now :smile:

 

[ADS_V6]

Hopefully it's lifted your spirit and your not feeling flat

 

[Stay Puft]

Haha piss off!

 

[Mr Plums]

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
That my battery has life again
I'm laughing at clouds
So spark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for vrooom vrooom!
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my 182's face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the sun.

 

[ADS_V6]

Haha piss off!

Was only joking and wasn't trying to start anything

 

[Mr Plums]

I hope its a terminal fix mate.

God bless.

 

[leedsboy]

In other news, what is that green gearstick light? Telling you to change gear before the engine blows up? Does it in mine if I rag it.

 

[Mr Plums]

To tell you the optimum time to shift, the vinegar stroke!

 

[imprezaworks]

Der. It's to tell you to check the battery terminals

Noobs everywhere

 

[leedsboy]

BRB just going to check the terminals. Anyone got a screwdriver?

 

[imprezaworks]

To check properly rub the two terminals together

 

[Mr Plums]

Dont you mean an 8mm spanner for the negative and a 10mm spanner for the positive?

Theres no wonder why the terminals were still loose lol.

 

[Mr Plums]

To check properly rub the two terminals together

Or put one on each teste and bite the bonnet.

 

[Jekyll]

Use the proper tools and your 182 wont play up. If you anger it, sparks may fly.

Dont get angry back and get abusive though, otherwise you might get arrested and charged with assault and battery.

 

[imprezaworks]

Very good I like that. A more positive approach next time.

 

[ADS_V6]

Nice to see you not so negative on here recently

 

[Jekyll]

We really need to clamp down on the puns.

 

[Mr Plums]

Hahaha i feel so flat after this

On another note, im glad i have a dodgy box to watch the boxing on and im not getting charged, sparks would be flying!

 

[ADS_V6]

I genuinely feel recharged after this thread

 

[Stay Puft]

Im gonna SPARK you all out in a minute if you dont back off the bullying!

 

[imprezaworks]

You sound like you have discharged and venting anger

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Bish bash....Bosch

 

[cs_dave]

Take a minuite to recharge

 

[Marc.]

There are some powerful puns in here tonight

 

[BoatNonce]

Personally I think they're going down like a lead acid balloon, amp ersonally I don't find them very funny at all.

Well the alternatorive is to not read it

 

[imprezaworks]

Alternating between the positive and negatives of the situation. Like it.

Ive heard that duracelling your car soon mate?

 

[Typhoon]

It's great, this forum, you get advice and puns at the same time completely free of charge!

At least it's sorted and you didn't have to rely on AA.

 

[Chris_Beer]

Shocking mate

 

[Jekyll]

Oddesy what you did there....
