well car is not running now, just got in it this morning to head off to school, turned it over, it cranked but would not fire:bang:

so called the raa tonight and the bloke came out and said it wasnt getting any spark, and the crank angle sensor (correct me if im wrong) is aparently stuffed. therefore im getting a tow truck tomorrow and hopefully ill be back on the road soon!!!

its update time

the mechanic has fixed the crank angle sensor, and noticed the bearings on the serpentine belt were almost shot, so he replaced them and performed a general service on the ute. so that was just a lazy $330.

after that little episode, i decided to get some new speakers. i ended up with a set of fusion 6.5" component speakers. they are now installed in the ute along with the new head unit after a night of installation and a bottle of rum:D later sounds great now.

next thing on the list is new tyres and rims hopefully, but im not stressed if i put stockies back on
