OK, been busy with life lately, things not too good, then finally i get back to normal.

my astra run around i purchased 2 months ago, was feeling a bit tired after doing 6000 miles since i got it. so i needed to replace the front lower arms and ball joints, tie rod ends etc etc,.

well being a vauxhall, nothing came undone ok, so took me nearly 2 days to do.

this morning go to a mates garage to do the tracking and tighten a bolt i couldn't get in and do up well enough.

job finished, bring the car down on the ramp and suddenly....nothing!

lost 1 phase of the 3 phase power supply into the garage, ramp not working, my car stuck on it. it is now there until power returns, hopefully tomorrow morning. there is no manual release on the ramp. doh

anyone else had this happen to them, or shall i class myself as jinxed?

:wtf:
 
Ahh not good, don't spose you could dukes of hazard it off the ramp lol.
 
yeah got her down on the tuesday in the end, stuck up there all over the bank holiday.

just got another astra as a doner.

Thanks to Andy.B being very very patient (sorry Andy) i should start moving with the turbo conversion shortly.
 
No problem at all as i said, looks like i'll be taking the whole engine out now for a full clean up and check up.

Ill get you the ECU numbers tomorrow to compare :)
