Dammit... the noise has stopped.... now my car won't start without a jump! I've checked the battery filled up with distilled water and checked the leads... everything seems fine! It's all buggered!

I'm back in Perth late next week and unfortunately I have previous experience with a Meteor. If one of these fine gentlemen fails to assist drop me a line...I'm ten minutes up the road...At least you can change your own tyres. I had an ex who had a flat on her MGB and I had to drive 30 minutes to change it...damn centre lock rims

Ok....so update on the bunky!

To all you Einsteins who said: "Get a new car" thankyou for your highly intelligent, genious input....how ever, noticable to some, I am more than obviously in the process of doing this..so please stop hammering me with your overwhelming brain power!!

Anyways...more to the point...the bunky is now making a "shooosh" sound every nwo and then when I accelerate. I can't pin point any pattern, it just happens randomly. it soudns liek the exhaust, but it's pretty scary! Please help! I really need to keep this running to get em from A to B at least till I get finance!!!

Swooshing is fine for a ladies car, when it starts going brackata-brackata-pop-brackata-brackata-brack-pop-pop-kashung you're in trouble.

What do u mean for a ladies car....it's not a ladiescar it's a SH!TBOX? And swooshing is fine?....but it's never doen it before up until satruday....i swear it's comign from the exhaust when it first happened i thought I'd popped a tyre

Probably just as you described & it's an exhaust leak. Only a pretty bad one.

And sif edit my post at the top of the page!

What're u talkign abotu editing ur post? lol im confused....

And "only a pretty bad one"?? wellllll thank god for that! lol aw-ohz! I took a mate for a drive last night and he said he's not sure if it's the exhaust or not now. When I take off it does it for about the first 5 mins, and I can't accelerate and it like revs and slows down then all of a sudden the swooooosh noise stops and I can drive properly again....?!?!?! Any ideas?!!

:(

Are you still trying to con some poor fella into mowing your lawns and painting the house?

Maybe time for a basic service, plugs, leads, distributor cap..ect could be in order.

Does it do it only when the engine is cold? does it have an auto choke or manual choke? Try letting the car warm up a bit on cold start.

Atleast pull the plugs out and give them a clean if you're on a budget, same goes for the contact points on the leads and distibutor cap.

Let someone else with more knowledge have a listen-drive. I will most probably be something very basic.

Unless of course it's going brackata-brackata-pop-brackata-brackata-brack-pop-pop-kashung :(

Haha Yes I'm giving it all I got!!! It's worth a try right? Some poor fella will fall for it! lol jkz

Thanks that helps heaps Yeah it's got a manual choke. That means I'd have to give it like 15mins to warm up cos I normally give it a good 10mins. I'll see how I got with all of that and no I want to learn to do it myself ;)

Thanks for the tips!!

  • 3 weeks later...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for giving me help & info about this. I have come to the conclusion that the gherkin is possessed. There is no longer funny noises and it's driving perfectly fine. I need to replace the battery. All of a sudden the radio has started working again too (which hasn't worked for 6months!!!) Now it's all stupid cosmetic damage (see: below). The front side panel was bent in by someone with a crowbar 9god knwos what they were trying to do) and my window lever broke so my Bushman Mechanic friend, Joel jammed it in place with some sticks on the ground (*face palm*) and one night the horn went crazy everytime I turned the wheel so in a fit of rage I ripped it out!

So at least now it'll get me from A to B until I get finance (i have an appointment with the bank 2 fridays from now and they're sure I'll pass this time. I failed last time due to an account overdrawl but 8weeks with no over-draw and I should be suh-weet!!!) So Yeah thanx Guys!!!

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
    • This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club. SAU NSW is planning on hitting Old Pac again shortly, stay tuned for details. When: Thursday 26th of June Time: 7:30pm meet/8:00pm departure/10:00pm finish Meet: Spit West Car Park / Spit Rd Mosman NSW 2088 Destination: Palm Beach Public Parking / 16 Ocean Rd Palm Beach NSW 2108 Up to date information as always can be found on the events page of our website, the link for this event is https://www.saunsw.com.au/events/palm-beach-cruise There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
