When my Koni blew on the track the back just turned to mush!!!

Was scary enough in a controlled environment, let alone a public road!

Mark, from where I was watching, "pogo stick" is a more accurate description. It was bouncing all over the place! :lol:

Sorry to hear about your off Borked. Hope it's all fixed soon enough.

LONG STORY....

I took her to the tracks 2 weeks ago and came back with a small crack on the bumper. Didnt want the crack to get worse so I decided to experiment with DIY bog and paintwork. Wouldnt say its a perfect paint job cuz i got lazy with painting the whole bumper.. Shes 90% done but been busy with work and went down to melb for a few days on the weekend.

Didnt want to drive her around when she was still in progress + after tracking her, I wanted to do an oil change before driving her again and found out the bloody mechanic tighten the oil screw so hard i couldnt budge it...

Haha therefore, shes been there for 2 weeks... i feel so weird with out her haha...

Local Auto Elec has diagnosed a faulty compressor clutch.

Plenty of gas ? CHECK
Power past the gas check relay ? CHECK
Fan for A/C spins when A/C turned on ? CHECK
Belt spins A/C compressor ? CHECK
Front of compressor spins when turned on ? FAIL

This would mean the compressors clutch is dead, right ?

Appears to be a sound fault finding method.
Only extra thing to check is power at the compressor!

Good Luck
