Moderator drewpy Posted June 3, 2013 Moderator Posted June 3, 2013 need to check compression assuming you have fuel and battery power?
Noise Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 No engine light comes on with ignition then goes out as normal. Yer gunna invest in a compression tester soon drew. Got fuel and lecky. Just this tapping/knocking sound has gotten louder since last week then she lost all power n then just died on me. I gave her a kiss n cuddle n will get cracking on her soon.

Noise Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 not yet mate, i may take that title off you one day. Have hope
Grouch Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Noise unlike me at least your blessed with mechanical know how and can fix her yourself.
Noise Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 I have never done a mechanics course nor have i ever wanted to be a mechanic, i have two tool boxes with the billy basic socket set, screw drivers and 4 hammers etc so armed with them (manly the hammers) and my Haynes manwell i just get out there n get stuck in. As they say if its already broken how are you going to break it? Your get it there mate, keep ya chin up and make sure you got a whiskey to hand when you start stripping her down
