my sister bought a gemini and it had no oil she didnt no what to do and was dring it for about a week till one night i came how and saw he driving off it was making a really bad knocking noise but she was still driving it. we got a fone call later that night it had finally stopped and she said it kept stopping but it wont start anymore

the new motor cost my dad $1700 and now she checks it reguallry
later that year her gearbox also died from having no oil she didnt know it was spossed too

anywaythats my story

its gotta be a thing with sisters, my sis has a 92 ford festiva and she keeps tellin me that this light comes on when she dirves it, checked it out and it was bone dry, one night while loading the bike into my van she started her car and i heard a grinding/ whineing noise so i got her to pop the bonet and her fan belt was just screaming, lubed it up and she went off her nut at me askin what i did to her engine, cause she didnt have that noise any more she couldnt tell if the engin was running when she stoped at lights, she drove up about 50 ft and stuck her head out of the window to see if she could still hear it

there was a girl who had a mini
and it kept leaking oil
so she just stopped filling it up with oil

no more oil leak

1. i can understand how Antons car had no oil in it
2. why did all those other girls' cars have no oil left? (leaked 3L worth)?

QUESTION: New car Auto Boxes need oil pressure to work (I've been told)
no oil = no work

would that be the case with the matic boxes?

Er... yeah, if the oil gets too low on these it will get air in it and the shifts will get all erratic. MiniMatic's low oil early warning system.

ps. if it gets real low you will go nowhere... and bugger the bearings if you try!

I worked with a guy who built a Falcon GT replica. It had a heavily worked 351 under the hood (or bonnet ).

He lived up the coast.....one afternoon he rear ended a car heading home. It split his radiator and he lost all the coolant. He said 'fook it' and just kept driving......110km/h on the freeway - no coolant..... motor ceased!!

This guy had no respect for money.....he had the car towed home....left it to rot in his backyard....and I am talking about a really nice Gun Metal Grey GT replica, drop tank, 351, top loader 4-spd, polished roll cage, shaker etc....

But hey...it's a Ford, so who cares....

so you can drive manuals with no oil
but not autos

anton did you at least ask for the car if he wasnt doing anything with it

Duc, I never even thought about that, until he sold it to a mate for $500.....I reckon the 12 slotter chrome mags were worth double that...let along the rest of thecar - It was real nice!!

has it been worked on to be put back on the road
sounded like a nice car
