If it is a real accident... there is no way they've removed any bodies from that chassis yet. =-o

Disturbing!

The Top Gear test-crash of a Smart Car came out much better than this... from 70mph into a concrete barrier, and you'd still be in one (injured) piece.

100km an hour carx(head on)100km an hour truck=200km an hour brick wall.

I think this is how it goes.May they rest in peace

looks like the truck was the one in the wrong lane too

Take another look at the pics & you might just see that it was indeed THE CAR that was on the wrong side of the road (LHD NOT RHD vehicles)

Don't automatically conclude the truck driver is at fault or you're no better than the people who take great satisfaction in categorizing us all as "hoons" simply thru our choice of vehicle. Also rather than simply an accident I'd almost go as far as to say this looks like "suicide by truck". Too square a hit to be an accident, esp as you can see the truck has made an effort to avoid the impact.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
