Thanks Moron
Congratulations to the moron who had my VH before me....the wheel nuts were on that tight i needed a broom stick handle lenght lever to get them off. Though the back right was the worst, the wheel was on that tight it needed levering off the rotor with a screwdriver. Also wise guy you are supposed to check/maintain/machine your discs, as yes they too wear along with the brake pads.
These basic tasks help keep to keep your car in a reasonable condition, and NOT **** OFF any future buyers. after they pull it apart to have a look.
if you cant tell im a bit angry, but thats off my chest now, thanks!

yeah i forgot to mention that, my coolant is that lovely brown colour, dont you think if your selling a car you woudl want it looking the goods....but then again i bought it on ebay so i suppose i didnt really see it before i bought it. even when ive sold my previous cars, i ALWAYS changed the oil, plugs, and filters before anyone collected it, its courtesy if anything, but it also shows you take car and look after your ride.

^^ Rattle gun heroes??? Hope it didn't damage your rims as well. From what I've experienced most tyre places are a bit like this.

Thats what I thought.
Also just because people drive Holden's doesnt mean that they love them. It could have been a cheap run about or all the person could afford at the time.

Do you check how tight the nuts are before you buy a car? Fair enough u check the rotors though im assuming he would have? But still, bad rotors wouldnt make the buy a bad one.
