Did any of the mechanics say what a stuffed oil pump will look like or what to check when it’s out of the box? The following video is interesting and mentions not fully engaging all 3 stages of TC during install can result in oil pump drive pins searing off… maybe that’s what has occurred and...

In a general sense, vibration of rotating stuff can be caused by anything. Stuff can get bent, balance weights can get knocked off, stuff can be a bit out of balance and get put in with the wrong clocking (compounding the unbalanced state or upsetting balanced assemblies), new stuff may be...

I thought thed be more like these PS: beaten to the punch by someone norti

If insurance mentions a specific item isn’t covered, then that specific item isn’t covered. If your policy calls out wrong fuel type being used and the dealer specified the problem is water and sediment contamination (presumably from a unleaded petrol bowser), then the viewpoint Id be taking is...

That fuel looks nasty and it doesn’t look like water contamination to me… but such is academic as the dealer has documented what they say is the failure and in essence given you a way out… So I’d read your insurance policy and see if fuel contamination is a covered event. If so then ring the...

If I understand correctly, you’re saying the ATO processed the wife’s tax return in a couple of days and sent the bill to her MyGov account with an sms to her phone as a heads up… It’s all done electronically so thats not really a fast turn around since the ATO go under the principle that they...

I should probably read the article but I wont... If i need to get a primer on how stuffed licensing is, i just need to go for a drive and see the imbeciles out there demonstrating a complete lack of skill while behind the wheel of their car... and sadly there are plenty to see on every drive :(...

I should read the news article :oops: but newspapers aren’t a great place to get accurate info :( If only newspapers linked to court documents… Nah, they couldn’t possibly do such in todays modern connected world :mad:

I haven’t said he’s doing a great job. I’ve said he’s doing something that many wouldn’t attempt and he’s learning along the way which is commendable and it’s something that may help others who find the thread in future (if they can ignore the infighting/12yo bitch slapping posts)… As to...

You’d think that following such deaths, a coroner investigation should occur where there’d be recommendations for new/changed/improved processes, requirements and laws that the industry would need to apply.… usually before prosecutions, if any, would even occur … So unless a coroner...
