Anyone get K.O'd by the huge dumping of rain an hour ago?

Our drainage got blocked and flooded whole garage. Was seeping under the concrete of the floor.

My room is next to the garage so my wooden floor probably going to be stuffed hehe.

We have insurance but still a hassle oh well.

Pix!

pwned! down incline driveways FTL.... unless u have a big ass grated drain at the bottom to redirect the run off water..

I got a down incline driveway. It sucks. I just spent the last 15 minutes removing all my stock parts from the garage floor as it was starting to flood. Mine is so steep i can't park my car in there without scraping the front bar. I even have one of them big ass grated drains too :action-smiley-069:

dam.... we have a downward inclined driveway too but we have a grate and piping which stops that from happening... luckily... not that i would be too worried about my VL getting a swim... in fact i would prefer it did... its insured for more then its worth and it currently isnt running :action-smiley-069:

On a serious note, if people need assistance with flood or water damage, examples are flooded garages :action-smiley-069: water in houses leaking rooves etc call the State Emergency Service (SES). 132 500. You will be directed to call 132 500 if you call 000.

I was at work all day, anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. We had 6 major leaks, and a tram got hit by lightning right outside! on top of that, as whithorse road was flooded there was water simply flowing in the front door... it all make for an exciting day, as none of the stuff getting damaged was mine :D

    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
