friar 8 Posted November 7, 2018 While taking an old VW diesel Sharan in part exchange,,customer said she had had a new battery fitted at Halfords,and when she drove home car was running strangely. Next day she went back and battery was fitted wrong terminalsl connected.ie negative terminal to positive. Did car engine start in reverse rotation do you think?

EPV 631 Posted November 7, 2018 A wasted opportunity imo, this could have broken the land speed record for a car going in reverse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

friar 8 Posted November 7, 2018 No joke, she said it did £800 of damage to alternator and electrics, they paid for. I did forget that it would be going backwards, so must have been rotating correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Screenman 47 Posted November 8, 2018 Was it a 2 stroke, or was it blow, bang, squeeze, suck. You have to admire halfrauds, they do seldom right, charge top money and make a profit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave2302 387 Posted November 8, 2018 I know a local Garage who put his starter charger on his 4 year old Vivaro last week, starter charger was left on 24 Volts from starting a lorry, Vivaro is an economical write off !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
