KiNK43 Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Please can I have my trophy for civic5's biggest drama queen!!I think I was right to assume the worst when greeted with an engine bay covered in oil and a loud whining noise!But its the alternator. Phew I'm so relieved, I've had an awful week worrying about it and no time to have a look until today. Took belt off and noise gone.I flushed it through with switch cleaner and its still a little whiney but much better.Also had a mission trying to buy oil late today. Will change first thing.Had to settle for castrol gtx. Eeew hate that stuff but will do for now.Just hope i dont find any shards in the old stuff but for now I'm happy shes ok.Still not sure why alternator played up, had a lot of oil on it but cant see what that would do to harm it.

KiNK43 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Dunno about the belt slipping. Think it was just full of oil and didnt like it!Anyway had an awesome day at japshow. Loadsa fun with my Honda whore buddy grimm666.Had a real good road race on dual carriageway with a ep3.Guy parked next to us and said "man that things evil" did give him A bit of a spanking.Loads of great cars. A mental r35 was my fav.. looked stockish but doing 8.5ish second runs in near silence! Awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
