Question:
Well ,my alternator went in my 1995 nissan altima, I need to tow it about 25 miles back home.Should I fix the altenator there(it is on a big hill at a community college)or should i tow it all the way home and fix it there.Should I replace the battery also?
Answers:
is buying a vehicle at auction typically a safe way to go?
The above answer is good. I would also attempt to do it there weather permitting.Driving a car with a loose steering column...?
I would like to interject that unless you can get the front wheels off the ground, I would not tow this vehicle.
building regulations?? disabled access for new build residentual houses?
25 miles is too far to just pull the car, especially if it is an automatic. That would destroy the transmission. A stick shift might be ok, but best bet would be get the drive axle off the ground.
I've had my alternator go out on me while driving. Since it's not to far just stick a full charged battery in it and drive it home. If you have the tools and the new alternator just replace it where it sits. Keep in mind after you replace it you want a full charge on your battery or you could short out the new alternator.
All of the above
how much does it cost if you break the rules of the road?
put a fully charged battery in and drive it home rather than trying to safely towing on a hill or trying to dolly the vehicle while on a hill. as far as repairing it do it at home, the reasoning is - what if its something other than the altenator.More Questions & Answers ...
