After just spending $10 for a wash and a few other bucks completely vaccing the car out.. I drive home, to get changed ready to go out with mates.. and the Harmonic ****ing balancer dies.
Bank account: $2
Service: due in 2 weeks, got oils/filters coming in
Harmonic Balancer: Anyone want a VR commodore, needs new harmonic balancer, slight panel work.. AS IS.
ARGH!!
spitting out chunks of the inside of the balancer pulley, and knocking harder than a whore's bed.
harmonic balencer and cam bearings seem to be an issue in the VRs, i just hope for my sake my GFs one doesnt die, its making a bit of noise now...
Ouch, must be the week for Commodore breakdowns, my wagz spat the bottom radiator hose yesterday on the way to work, luckily was able to pull it over immediately and shut it off without any damage..
Certainly spoils your weekend when something like that happens on a Friday
If ignorance is bliss why aren't there more happy people around ?
Well.. car was limped (50k/h or less) to the mechanics today. FINALLY getting my service/auto service and harmonic being fixed![]()
good to hear its getting fixed. hope nothing else goes wrong for you

Yeah i had the VR mine went well may not have completely went was still able to drive but in the crap traffic on the Bruce Highway stop start stop stop start it kept stalling. Was heading to Bundy from Brissy on a friday arvo. Made it to bundy dad had a look and said i need a new one straight away thought crap gonna be stuck here for days cos places open in Bundy on weekends dont mix. But anyway managed to score adn whack it in in around a 1.5 hours or there abouts. Was crapping thinking i would never get back to Brissy for work. Prob not a bad thing tho.
Cheers
