Was driving home on open road yesterday and suddenly after 3 hours of driving a rattling noise came from under the car and then lost all power and cut out. The cars dne 140k and checked the water and oil and it was all fine. When i went to start it all that happend was a tick sound once and the engine wouldnt turn over. My mate went and got a new battery and we tried it but the same thng happend. We called a road side assistant and his conclusion was the engines seized as he tried to crank the motor over with a wrench but it wouldnt turn at all. In the end its been towed back to holden for them to look at tomorrow but i told the guy at holden about what the roadside assistant said and he said theres noway you would be able to crank the motor over by hand anyway. Just wanted to know what you guys think as i just bought the car from an old guy whos the second owner nd owned it since 20k and kept the car immaculate and seemed like a legit deal. I read the sticky about the alternator cable but would think that if a new battery was put in it would turn over. Thanks.
