Changed the oil at 192k miles and have been driving around a bit. An alignment is needed and refreshing the brakes are on my to do list for next month.
But of course, that sound of pulley squealing had to go silent. So, I get to post another pic of the car on a flatbed!
I heard a couple loud pops over the weekend...first pop had the AC go out as I was parking outside a restaurant, no lights went on, so I shrugged it off. Second pop was even louder and occurred while taking off rather exuberantly from a stop light. And suddenly no more supercharger sounds or boost. Again no lights went off, temp stayed put, so I drove home.
Yup, belt tensioner exploded.
So to replace the belt tensioner, I bought another car :lol:
It's a 1997 XJR with a very fresh (45k miles) motor, nice bumpers, a nearly mint and complete interior (including XJR100 front seats and door sills), all working stereo components, but the trans has an electrical problem. It'll be a parts car that I'll be keeping up at my mechanic's shop.
