Don\'t have the money to do anything, so it\'ll have to go as a whole, hopefully to someone who does have the money to make it into something.

What exactly would I be looking / listening / feeling if I were to chuck it into 5th and tow it?

As much as I love the car I cant really afford to keep working on it, especially considering the cost it would take to repair / replace and my current situation ( Going back to Uni, no money etc) Thanks for the help though man, really appreciated it, wish the outcome was better and that it was an electrical fault, however I guess it can\'t always be that way. As for the car, not entirely sure what to do with it, repairing / replacing the engine isn\'t an option so at the moment its a bit stuck, not sure of its worth as a whole either.

Yeh the gear box feels completely fine.

I did, the teeth are all intact / belt on.

Some final photo\'s of my car before the engine seized in me. Moorhouse ave BK, probably 30-40 mins before it all happened. The day after back at home, Sad ending to the car, less than 200km of driving it since I got back from uni and probably less than 100km with the new (to me) wheels on it.

I wish that were the case but... All spark plugs out, starter out, and she doesn\'t budge, seized. So sad to say that I\'m sitting on a dead weight now.

Funny, washer pump worked perfectly fine haha. Anyway oil perfectly fine.

Cabin fuse box, none of the ones in the engine bay are blown. Also, trying to crank it manually with the spark plugs in is honestly not moving, it will not budge what so ever...

The only broken fuse is 20A on the Right No after market electrical stuff besides a radio, and the immobiliser that i assume the previous owner put in.

Haven\'t had any trouble starting it what so ever beforehand, and the first thing we did was test out a bigger / fresh battery on the car, obviously the existing one in it hasn\'t been charged since the breakdown the other day though.

Well I\'d been a fool and the multimeter wasn\'t plugged in all the way, thats why i wasn\'t getting readings. The battery was reading at 9.6, i assume its so low because of trying to start it constantly since its died. With the battery at 9.6 the starter was maxing out at 7.5 I did try to crank the engine manually though with the spark plugs in and it didn\'t move at all.... Located in CHCH btw, but not for long as I\'m back down to uni at the end of the week but the car and my father (whose house it is at) will still be there and working on it ( if he can )

Before i call some Auto electrician in would it be worth the time to remove the spark plugs and try and turn the engine manually? I mean i don\'t want to call out some sparky, have him do some tests for an hour or 2, fork out 100-200 bucks just to find out my engine is seized...

Couldn\'t get anything from the multimeter, may have been doing it wrong. Going to have to call someone to look at it anyway, as with being back at work and not having a car, plus with my limited knowledge I don\'t have the time to keep trying to diagnose it. So hopefully getting someone to come and give it a geez will either make my day or ruin it. Will probably update anyway.

Aaah ok sweet. The other earthing point is attached to the frame around the passenger headlight / infront of battery, looks to be fine. Will put the starter back in tomorrow and check out the battery.
