Oh Nooooooooo my poor Budgy

Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry
So in March i heard a sudden rather loud POP, my Budgie or if you like Overfinch, is an S580 5Litre and i love her, when i found her at auction she had the normal little things that we all know about, but Ha! i'd done my time over a few P38's until i landed here .............. anyway back to the POP.

The header tank had ruptured and the radiator was kaput, a new one on the way from King and country all good, the boys rang me and said, oh the heater tap is leaking as are the front bags, no probs i said, fix the lot!!

Wll i got busy and before i knew it, we had fallen into May, so i popped in ........... that was my mistake, the suspension said ... nup im staying asleep, all the tricks of turning left and right that had worked before, did nada, so i bought a Bearmach Hawkeye and walla, she manually came up to height, but now every warning light, including Airbag, ABS, HDC, Suspension and no central locking from the key ..... i waited and waited, until last week

Long story short is that nearly all the mechanics are smoking the glass BBQ, my Hawkeye has gone walkabout and the Budgie, is sadly down on her haunches, lower on the RHS than left and just horrible, can anyone tell me where to start, do i get another Hawkeye or is there a better OBD thingy.

I've dropped photos of her at the start of march and of today, i am gutted. Now i'm driving the great Holden Adventra AWD, but she aint no Budgie

Could be battery voltage, they are very sensitive to a slight drop, been sat a while so the battery will need a good charge or replacement....

GAP IID is the preferred OBD tool but it's not cheap... Pete
