moscowharrier

if you can send me some more pics, and i will need a chassis number

Will try to lift bonnet and get some internals and close ups of Valance and crush on Rad etc.

Here are some slightly different pix, does not look good ---- I have sent Chassis number to you via PM.

Thanks - any help would be good garages here in Moscow are not the best in the world at a) coming out to see the vehicle, B) the fact it is a right hand drive adds a few $$$$$$ to the final bill etc, etc.

Some joker jumped a red light, the car in front of me went from 60 KMH - 0 KMH quicker then me as you can see, surprised though, no airbags deployed even when being ungracefully dragged onto recovery bed !!!

What I am looking for is some "extremely" rough idea to the cost of repair just from looking at the picture, there are more pictures in my album, although they are from the same angle, due to broken ankle (in crash) I am unable to get outside and lift the bonnet to determine what damage has been caused internally.

Was it only the wheel that was in the mud? With all those lights, it sounds like maybe part of the gearbox was grounded as well. Dragging out of the ice may have broken/damaged wiring to ABS wheels sensor, O2 sensor on exhaust, speedo drive on gearbox (I assume there is a sendor/drive on the gearbox for the speedo?) and possibly an electrical connection to the overdrive on the gearbox.

Thanks,

the gearbox was pretty much grounded and the ice build up around the wheels and under the car was quite extensive, but the logic of your comments is good, if the g/box was grounded (if it wasn't it was very, very close) then the sensors to this would and could have been damaged during the drag out.

Would the O2 sensor cause the engine warning light to come on????

The O/D light I can understand, along with the ABS.

i would have a look at the abs senosors on the front, but u can or should be able to get any garage to read the fault codes then that will help a lot.

Thanks Rob,

I've checked the sensors and the speedo cable linkage and everything seems OK so it looks like a trip to the garage for them to diagnostic the faults and see what the outcome.

Although I have read elsewhere that I can manually reset the faults to see whether they are just flash memoried or whether they are indeed faults, in which case the lights will illuminate almost immediatly.

Thanks

HELP!!!!

2000 Harrier, 2990cc, 1MZ

In a nutshell----

3 days ago I managed to right front wheel nosedive my Harrier into a bog, So problem getting out at the time as wheels were just spinning. Hit fwd/rev/fwd a couple of times no joy.

Decided as it was getting dark and we could not see what we were doing properly to leave the car until the next day, where by I would obtain the assistance of a tractor to pull me out,

During the night the temperature dropped to -15 degrees, so of course the watery mud half way up my right front tyre froze solid.

We tried to free as much ice as possible, before being ungracefully being dragged backwards out of the bog, the front right wheel still locked frozen.

Freed as much ice as possible beforing being able to move off under own power.

Since being dragged out, the following lamps are illuminated----

O/D flickers on and off when switched off.

Check Engine lamp comes on and stays on after 2 - 3 minutes of engine warm up

ABS light is constantly on

Speedometer not working.

Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated prior to taking to a dealer (Moscow is daylight robbery with servicing!!)

Thanks
