dont u dare steve...
well guys it was my turn this time. the gsi ended upon a tow truck today and its not going anywhere for a while!!! i was driving from repco to my work and the car was lacking power. it would only do 15kmh in 1st gear and i managed to get to 30kmh in 3rd then i got to the lights and it cut out and wouldnt start again. i managed to push it onto the side of the road and opened the bonnet for a look and realised the harmonic balancer was on about a 25 degree angle when it should be straight so either the harmonic balancer rubber has perished which is the best scenario or the crankshaft has snapped which is the worst case and will need rebuilding or a new engine... the joys of owning an opel

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

i hope it is but im not too sure if it is just that. when you get in closer and have a good look it looks like the whole pulley has come away so either the bolt has stripped the threads or the crankshaft has fukd
