DanGEP91 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Ok so this should probably go in technical discussion, but I don't know where (because I don't know where this bolt is from) -So - getting the boat to join you boys at JAE tomorrow and this bolt suddenly fell off today and I don't know where from, and it seems quite substantial. The car hasn't performed any differently since it fell off but obviously as I'll be making a nice long journey from Poole up to wicksteed park in the early hours of Friday morning, I should probably get this bolt back to its home. But I don't know where it's from! Anybody have an idea??!?! Kinda urgent! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Max9650 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 bit of a longshot and random guess but thinking long bolts ... maybe altonator or starter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DanGEP91 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 That's gotta be it then as the garage I took it to just changed the belt, monkeys there seriously. Wheel nuts loose, belts not tight, hub nut loose, should've done it myself but I'm a lazy faker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DanGEP91 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Cheeky bugger, yeah, at least I got the botch job for free and they actually sorted my turbo oil return. Not gonna lie I lost heart with the car last week :/ ahh well. Expect a bombshell at JAE tomorrow! My car is a bloody shed at the moment! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keenoep82 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) If it's not the alternator, check the front calipers. Looks like it could be one of the bolts that holds them to the carrier. Edited September 15, 2012 by Keenoep82 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
