Hi everyone!
I’m hoping I’ve come to the right place for some advice. I’ve had my car for 5 years now and tonight on the way home from work I put it into 1st to move at the traffic lights and it let out a huge bang from the front end and it wouldn’t drive.
the engine is fine, the steering is fine, but when I put it into any gear it just won’t drive forward, it won’t go in reverse either. Thankfully I was able to free wheel myself to a safe place because the wheels turn fine. Had to get it towed to a mechanics who thought it might be a drive shaft but they’ll need to take a closer look. Has this happened anyone before? I thought that if a drive shaft went then the steering wouldn’t work but the steering is fine.
sorry if this is a silly question, I wouldn’t be too clued up on cars.
thanks, Whitney
