sirec · 13-02-2011, 11:30 PM

2000 auto ford falcon forte au with lpg and gas
was going up north of WA (really hot).....
felt a sudden loss of power and the car died and turned the engine oil light on while moving
looked under the car and something was leaking (thought it was transmission oil)
i tried to start the car and it started
it sealed back coz it stopped leaking
i drove it back to home.
i try to start it now but it dosent start.(dosent even turn)
ive posted a vid below to show u guys what happens when i turn the key.

Have checked all the fuses(all ok) undid the tranny bolt(plenty of tranny fluid there)

help! is it electrical?

Before you start it again check the oil level.

Definitely sounds like a flat battery, but may be something else with the leaking fluid/oil light etc. But that sound is definitely battery, heard it too many times before.

With sudden loss of power perhaps alternator is dead, causing the dead battery.. Worth a look..
