Hi Guys
yesterday i was driving to my mates ( a good hour of driving to his place) when i got into town my car just shut off and i had to roll it to the side of the road. Once i was on the side of the road i tried to start and it wouldnt go, sounded like the battory was dying so anyway I checked under the engine, was warm but still had coolant in the tank thing and had enough oil so i didnt really think anything of it, i ended up leaving it for 5 and it started thought ill just take it to my mates place and drive like a grandma. so i took it to his place and it stopped just on the corner from his place. so i got my mate and a few other guys that were around to push it to his place. We had a bit of a look and let it cool down.
When we looked after it cooled down abit, we noticed that there was only air in the radiator (Which i know is definatly a bit thing) we got the hose and tried to fill the radiator and were going to see what happened from there. then we noticed the water was just coming straight back out. There was a mechanic there at the time and he said its a stuffed water pump and i will need a new one.
Basically I know something will be damaged probably the head or something, What I want to know is what do you guys reckon will be damaged and also what are some ways I can check/test or even signs to look out for while im driving it.
Oh and the temp gauge had been playing up so I didnt really notice it heat up. And Yes I had been checking Oil and water regularly - Thought the coolant was fine as it hadnt moved in that tank on the side so i wouldnt have noticed. and Iv never seen anything leaking/any wet patches under it.
Thanks Heaps
Dan
