The RACV guy pulled that out and put in a new one to see if that was the case, if so it would have cost me ~$90. But that wasn't the issue. Nice to see you round here Jonny! Haven't caught up in any way whatsoever for ages. The potential $30 solve the problem would be fantastic! There was no metal flying around timmo, just a slow chug to a standstill. Henry didn't seem to concerned when he mentioned that he though it could be the belt. As to buying a new car Louise, that's probably as far from my budget as a budgie is from England. Remember that I don't officially work at the moment, and when I do it'll be 'moving out money' followed by, 'replace the camera' money etc... Fred will have to cope, we'll just have to hope that the car doesn't stuff up again any time soon. I can pretty confidently say it’s not the ‘small and white’ ignition module.

I don't know how a timing belt could possibly be small and white. Its a big rubber strap. mhmmm. Ignition modules may be small and white... but there are in fact, a lot of small white things under the bonnet of a car. Its one thing getting your timing belt replaced (or an ignition module) its another thing entirely when the timing belt snaps and sends valve-heads smacking into pistons. Usually that makes a lot of loud crunching noises, and may include bits of metal flying around. So... i dont know if that helps any... but i guess you'll know soon enough. Hope it turns out cheaperish! Tim Damn!
