    Was driving along and all of a sudden i lost power steering and my battery light came on, hmmmm.... so I pulled over and my serpentine belt had come off as my idler pulley had flogged out.

    Walked over the road to repco, bought a new pulley.. got my socket set out and 5mins later was back on the road.

    Now i know what that squeal was haha

    WH Statesman - Fitted a brand new radiator and radiator cap, took it for a drive and when I got back, no more leaks. Great success (as Borat would say).

    destroyed a thread made out of crappy alloy, rather than the steel it is supposed to be. killed my whole plans to have my car driving tonight. have to wait till stores open tomorrow IF i can find someone that stocks a -4 female to M12 1.5 ... the odds? highly unlikely. reckon the impala will be sitting brake-less for a couple of days.

    fixed up something thats been bugging me for a while.
    which is where the window winds up, near the mirror some rubber bit was too long. window wouldnt shut properly (not to my standards)
    trimmed about 1 inch off and it is back to perfect (confirmed with other side)
    also got my drivers side mirror set up to sit more flush with rest of that area.

    bought new sunshade thing for it.
    will be a laugh when it has the eyes like in the movie cars, and its sitting there =P
    and bought some new sunvisors (2nd hand, but very clean) to replace current ones. as current ones are dirty and has very small rip in it. (im being picky)

    oh and am going to be ordering some stuff this week.
    tubliner (will hopefully pick up by next weekend :] ), and some other stuff. cannot wait
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that

    Put together a list of what I'll need to assemble the supercharger on my SV6 VE. It's direct bolt on but I think there will be some custom fab pipes made up as it was made for the Calais V6, not the SV6.

    VB - took it for a nice sunday arvo drive to a nearby village for a cuppa. Stalled twice before I left town. 2nd time would not start, dead battery. Borrowed a passerby's phone to call home, someone came out with some leads, got it going again - stalled once more on the way to supercheap to get new battery (battery was on the blink anyway...), once more between supercheap and home. Then I installed the new battery. Took it for a run, in the 50km scenic drive taking in the localities of Borenore, Lake Canobolas and the Pinnacle, stalled once. Reflecting on it perhaps the fact that I left my manual choke on last time a moved it into the garage has something to do with it??

    Checked fluids, I am missing around 1.5L of coolant. Check radiator, find massive build up of sludge/milky sludge/slops.

    Calling mechanic tomorrow and anticipating a new head gasket will be on order.
