GuyWithAviators Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Trying to figure out why my cars not going, starting with the basics so has anyone got a compression tester I can borrow? Beers provided. I'm in Botany but can potentially travel to pick up. Cheers, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have one. Not fancy screw type, but has worked in the past. Presume you've checked all the other usual suspects? I'm way out west though, but could bring it into the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbie Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have one at the lockup in Otara. might head out there tonight no problem to swing over to botany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyWithAviators Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks for all the offers guys, this is why I love os. Yeah I've done the basic checks. I'm pretty sure the drop gear went as I was coming into Picton (AA dropped it off this morning) and then it lost oil pressure and is struggling to stay running now. Two things that i wouldn't imagine relate to each other. I have one at the lockup in Otara. might head out there tonight no problem to swing over to botany If you are heading out there tonight that'd be ideal. Wanting to sort this asap, bus lyf sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 What type of car? If it's a FWD Bloody Large Manufacturers Cock-up (BLMC) the two things may be related. A buggered gearbox would overheat the oil and send bits into the oil filter dropping oil pressure and the extra load would slow the car down especially in the lower gears if it's the lay shaft bearings or the drop gears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyWithAviators Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Following on from this has anyone got a flywheel puller for a mini (a series engine) that I could borrow on the 12th/13th of February? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
