    I would not have thought you need a tow truck for an alternator, if you have a charged battery you should be good for a few hours constant driving on one batter, I did 9hours with two fully charged battery and no alternator

    Turns out it was water in the connectors and after 3 hours of waiting and piss farting about the car started and ran but now I have this speedo dramaImageUploadedByMotorculture1393162289.794612.jpg
    Think I'll have to get under the car when I have time in the week and pull the speedo cable out and see if I can clean it and sort it out

    I got under and gave it a spray with CRC today and it sorted itself out on my way to work this morning. Scared the crap out of me when it swung back was coming up to a set of lights. Haha

    Scared myself with the check engine light. Have been through a few creeks lately, and therefore have been doing the check fluids and regrease Swivel hubs thing a lot. Car has been parked for a few weeks, with today being the finalisation of maintenance. So a test drive was due. Turned it around in the drive, only to notice the check engine light. Luckily I did a quick google, and drained a few mm from the fuel filter. Then it went away.

    Yes if the car is running fine and no codes are showing it's usually water in the fuel
