    Have had exactly the same problem numerous times mate. I might look like a bit of a ******** doing it but i always check over the car before i drive it home from the grease monkeys. Ive found wheel nuts loose, scratches, loose steering wheel column, stripped threads (lots), a torn seat cover and just f8ckin bad services all round. and thats just what ive found before i get home...

    I hope you guys aren't implying that all mechanics are bad....If you are, i take offense to that.

    Sure, there are bad mechanics around, but it's more the minority than the majority.

    Lightbulb What to do on my first car?/

    Right, well i brought my car (vr acclaim) for $1500 nothing wrong with it untill i got it and crashed it the first day, but after another $800 ive got it back again. and was wondering what kind of mod's can i do to it, that wont cost me to much money. i get my p's in likke a month and wanted to start working on it myself, so i can learn as much as possible. anything to do with the visual side (inside and out) any suggestions will be apreciated =D

    hey mate just a heads up. if you write in other peoples threads you will get given alot of sh!t from people on the site. click on this link--->> VR - VS Holden Commodore (1993 - 1997) - Just Commodores and up the top of the threads there is a button that says new thread, ask there- try using the search bar first though because if you make a post that is already up people will also give you hell. apart from that the guys here are very useful and know just about everything you need to know. i love them

    It's Moe, what can you expect dude.. They are fairly dodgy over there... Haha. Everyone hates Moe.
    Why didnt you take it to the shops around Morwell?

    I would be taking the car for a second RWC IMMEDIATELY.

    If not only for peice of mind, but if they find something dodgy - the mechanic who did the RWC before has to fix it.

    LOL, There is only one mechanic that I will let near my ute, only cause I have used him before, and he does good work, and doesn't tell you lies to get more money, straight forward. For example I took a car in to him to get the timing checked and he said alright, checked it, he said yeh timings right but needs the injectors cleaned, asked how much I owed him and he told me not to worry. So yeh, I have seen some shocking mech's but there are some really good one's out there.
