Power steering pump pulley Snapped.

[b][code]Now that We know the shaft is not there, Right? As per your previous comment, Do i have to source a pump from the wrecker? I saw one on trademe for 75$ but not sure if it comes with pulley, is it a good price for it? Thank you for your help.

you mean http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 975789.htm Price seems expensive but they are one of 2 specialist wreckers for Isuzus and they stand by there stuff. Ive bought from them before no issue. Might be the quickest option

These are wrecking compatible vehicles. You would have to ask if the pump is available

What CCA rating should i get for my bighorn, Currently it's running on 600cca, But i had the battery check at school and the result was 414cca remaining, which is i think not enough because at cold morning like we had few here, wouldn't start and apparently battery would die cranking, Also how do i check the glow plugs if they are in good nik, Do i have to check for the resistance with multimeter, or Volts? What resistance should it give if checked. Thank you in advance Geeves.

The battery places that offer the test you had that rated the battery would say that battery is still okish but its only part of the story It doesnt test the reserve capacity or what happens when its really cold. I would replace that battery. 600cca will do the job but is at the limit. If you have a winch or even a descent stereo you will want to upgrade to at least 750 cca or if you can fit it a 1000cca but these are pricey
glow plugs are about 1/2 ohm each. If it sterats evenly though I doubt you have a glow plug issue

That's right, I will change the battery to the higer cca, even 600 cca is like 200 bucks now, they are expensive. The battery was right until now, Since the frost has started it just wouldnt' start. Thank you Geeven.

When the battery died in the Wizard it was summer. It would still start the car unless you left the door open so interior lights on for more than 10 minutes. Battery place told me that battery was still good but it wasnt.

That's happening with my truck since last few months, If i live the the headlights on for more than 10 mins bang battery is gone, Like you said Interior light over night and it wouldnt' start. Which brand do you reckon i should get?

Century Yusua and Ultima make there own batterys all the others could come from the same place. For most people they are all fine. Its only if doing lots of winching or regularly parking on top of mountains that it makes a difference

I have removed battery from my surf which is 750 cca starts well now. When i turn the ignition on the glow plug light is on for a few seconds just after its off I hear a tang like voice coming from engine. Why is that happening ? When i try to start the engine immediately after the glow plug light goes off. It takes long to crank but when I hear that noise and crank it stars easily. Second thing my heater is not really warm the way I want it to be. It's just luke warm. What should I do to keep nice and warm for Invercargill. I tried searching the heater topic but couldn't find any satisfactory answer. Thank you.

Could be air in the heater core or a bad engine thermostat
Check your charging voltage It should be 13.5 to 14.5 with the engine running around 1500
Easiest way to kill a battery is to leave it flat for a week or so
