Hello everyone!!!

Hows your evening??

Great??

good.... well mines been hell!!

i was driving home from alaxanda hieghts returning a Dvd (Terminator.. hey never watched it so i decided to now..)

Anway i hear a weird noise like something hitting the engine bay and lo and behold my charging light came on!

I drove the car back home to Good old mirrabooka and one of my belts has snapped/came off!!!

Is this normal?

do i need to spend a lot of money on this!! cause i cant even afford a cd player for this car let alone repairs!!!

bah itsabitshit magna...

Depends - how many km's has it got??

Belts do wear out - not that crs fault - should have been replaced by teh sounds of it but this can happne on any car

Manual

Yeh as the topic says :P

Oh yeah and when your cv joints go.. does it make like... how the hell would you say it.. Only when i turn left theres a noise from the left wheel :P

I have many questions!!!

oh yeah when i get my tax back whats the cheapest performance mod....??
I should be getting round 600 :( and maybe if i save up more i could get to a grand!

like a clunking sound ...!!

yup cvs

I just took a look at the car... with a torch and i wanna ask you people a question......

just one :P


Now the belt is off there are three cogs/wheels whatever that it connects to..... but is that it???

there is a huge bolt hanging out of the block/whatever (:P) so could that meen ive lost something important!!!

and don't say my cv's are screwed!! ive only had the car for 4 months!

Well it sounds like one of your CV's are shot, but no worries you can generally drive around with them gone for a while. They aren't terribly expensive to repair either. Depending which belt snapped, it shouldn't be to costly.

Was the it the powersteering? Did your steering stiffen up? It wouldn't be your timing belt otherwise you wouldn't be able to drive that car and you'd know about it - most probobly a nicely buggered motor.

Let us know how you go mate. How was T3?

Heeheehee I think he meant the First Terminator Blake... You can't get T3 on DVD now... BUT T3 ROCKS! GO WATCH IT EVERYONE!!! :D

Woops, after reading the post again i get it :D

its the charging belt.. well its connected to the charger!! ok you got the main flywheel/whatever From the motor.. and theres this belt on the umm right side of

Oi here is kinda where it has snapped... and does anyone have a clearer pic of my beastly.... umm broken 3lv6

i broke the pwr steering alternator belt on my car
the charge light came on and had no pwr steering
had an old spare one in my boot and got the RAA guy to put in on for me
then bought a new belt and got them to change it at the next service
i had my cvs done recently too for my TS cost only 340 for both side
might be the boot has just split and run outa oil and clunks
new cv boot is pretty cheap to
the noise could be brakes my old cordia made a scraping noise when you turned left didn't now what it was till pads wore out a week later
just got new pads and had rotors/discs machined(i forget which)
nothing super expensive tho

heheh thanks for the help!!

but seroiusly you guys like your magnas hey?

i got it cause it was more practicle than a sports car at the time..

Id love to do more to this car.. but since it was 2 grand more than the silvia i was getting.... i can afford nothing no more!

so i guess im stuck with this car! so make the best of it hey! and go on a cruise...

not.. haha stock standard magna would look lame :P

hell no mate!! come along, its alot of fun. get to know the people of the club, get some ideas, share sum stories. we can even set up a fire for ya and sing coom by ya. hahaha (dunno how to spell it) Hope to see you at the next cruis ebuddy. oh and good luck with your car.

Trav

how many magnas usualy come?

And whats the age group like?

and will you help me pay off my car 8)

The last cruise only 6 came but that was due to a few people in either accidents or cars have died *ahherm Roger*

You should come along, nothing wrong with a stock magna, and you get plenty of idea's when it comes to modding your ride and meet some great people. Its a fun day.

I got my magna over a S13 silvia due to not being able to afford the turbo insurance!!

but now I am glad i got the magna - it is a great car - and as for stock - don't worry about it - not all of us can afford wheels!!

Manual

And the belt was worn out completly.. gonna get the book of magna... the bible of the car so ma dad has an idea on how to fix it since its unlike all the cars he's ever fixed (ie cars that are all before 1986..)

And who says i cant afford wheels?

I just cant afford good ones :P and i think my plastic coverings looks good! ahah
