Hi

I dont know much about cars but by brother went away for work and said to me to top up the coolent on his skyline so i could learn more about cars he left a big bottle of coolent in the garage so i took the cap of and poored it in today. I put the cap back on and they started the car up like my brother said to do and the car ran for a bit then started making funny noise like it was coffing then stopped, im scared to phone my brother up becasue he might get mad at me ive ben trying to start the car but it won't turn on!

Where did you put the coolant?

bahahaha lol...

Ok sorry had to laugh, but yeah where did you put it to make it do that, worse I thought I was going to read is that the car ran hot, but not being able to start it threw me...

yeh I see what ive done now i put the coolent in the oil hole, i can't believe i was so stupid i spoke to my neighboor as well and he said to unscrew the bolt at the bottom and drain the oil out then flush it hes gonna help me this avro to do it im gonna drag the hose pipe from out the back into the garage to give it a good flush.

be back later when its done thanks

Gotta be a troll.

But just in case it isnt, you dont flush the internals of an engine with water.

    • A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.
    • Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.
    • Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
    • It always ends with the car burning down.
    • I see what you posted, but how could a warning light be going on and off if there is no sender for it?  The only other explanation is that the wire that used to go to the sender from the warning light is earthing somehow in the loom or at the connector, or that you have connected the warning light wire to something (maybe the temp sender?).
