if its hydro locked then bump starting it will just fuck it properly.

Hydro locked? Haven't taken plugs out, fairly sure it's the starter that's fooked, going to try and source one tomorrow.

Am I really the unluckiest person in the world when it comes to cars?

You think? My Renault might have a cracked block (haven't looked yet) and my 1 day old Rover won't start!

if the starter is fecked ,you shall still be able to push/kick/bump start it

yes but if you remove the pluygs then you'll know for sure,. a fucking spark plug isn't like performing open heart surgery, less than 2 mins get them out, if the car cranks over and shit come out the headgasket or the inlet gasket are away. If it doesn't then the starter.

if you try and bump start it etc and its hydro locked then you plain fuck the engine anyway.

But I hope you do the latter as I need amusign and frankly I'm sick of offerign advice thats sound and then its p[lainly ignored.

2 fucking mins earlier on and you would knwo instead of coming on here moaning about what if Rolling Eyes

yes having a bad everything, howevr if you cook me something nice and bring it down it'll be all better.

I would but I'm immobile again! What hurts and what did you do to it?

Forum Moderator Joined: 02 Mar 2004 Posts: 19978

my back, hips and knees, lol sounds like I'm a tart!

back from lifting stuff, hips from sitting cross legged working in car wheel tubs and knees from kneeling working on cars.

Backs really bad though, its ok when I work but when I sit down or stop it gets very stiff and sore, if I keep moving its just feels hot at the base but the pains less.

Shocked

I'm dying aren't I! Razz

If anything my cooking would make you more needed than ever! Laughing

If the pain in your lower back is to either side then it's muscular, take ibuprofen and rest. If the pain is in the centre of your back then be careful you might have slightly slipped a disc.

Ibuprofen will probably help all the pain. If there's any swelling then get some ice on it!

If it is muscular rest but keep moving gently!

It's the battery Rolling Eyes

So, if the alternators knackered would the red light not be on all the time? Gonna see about getting a battery anyway, considered knicking the heavy duty one out of the Reno but then I'd have to get another if I ever need it, plus it's in Inverness!
