Can you take a clear photo if there's room? If the housing Congress of without to much fuss then might charge you 1 hour labour? Have never had a close look at the housing.

Does it hold pressure? Genuine Holden and Mackay are the only caps I've ever seen work on an Alloytec.

One of the little hoses runs from the filler neck to the top of the radiator. That is the one. When the filler neck is full you pull the hose off the fitting on top of the radiator and that allows air to bleed out of the radiator. You will see or hear air coming out and then a steam of coolant...

Which radiators have y wasou been buying? Could it just be a case of sh1t eBay radiators?

Bleeding through the heater hoses would probably work but sounds like a pain in the ass. I have only ever bleed it through the radiator cap and the little bleed hose. But the first time you drive it after filling it must be a VERY short drive. maybe after cracking 3 radiators the heater hose...

What is paying on the TV, A blue ray movie or TV shows? Is the aerial connected from wall socket to blue ray to TV or wall to TV and a seperate cable from blue ray to TV?

No making much sense so far. 15W40 is thicker than what you are using now, and 5W30 is even thinner again. Why have you switched to a thinner oil? Most people recommend using thicker oil as the car gets older, not thinner oil like you suggest. Maybe you went too thin and made it more noisy...

That's a worry if somebody is selling struts that are not assembled correctly. Did you take any photos of the struts before you installed them? Were the rubber strut tops definitely new? By the way they sit with the rod sticking up so high makes me think the strut tops could be old and...

Did you sort out the problem? The new nuts could be the wrong type. I have always had to re use the old thin nuts to avoid this issue.

Look's very wrong. The top washer should be facing up from memory, and the nut under the top plate should be a thin but not a nylon lock nut. Did you use a new nut or reuse the old thin one?

They are all cashless now. Have been for probably 15 - 20 years. No more baskets. I used to drive on one of the toll roads so often I got to know one of the guys who worked in the booth, three seconds at a time LoL.

I don't think they ever put a 200kw motor in a Captiva. But a few engine parts should be the same like the oil filter housing.

Confusing. I would think you would want help, food, a bath or whatever when you crawl out of a gutter so it would kind of be good if someone took pity on you and helped you out but you are suggesting pity is a bad thing so confused the **** out of me bro.

So that's how you tell the difference? And also, so what your saying is if you ever need to find the bloke in a pub who owns the Harley outside, look for the bloke with a boner and no teeth?

Depends what you call shaking. The LFW sometimes shakes for a second at the lights which seems to happen when the show idle mode kicks in before it settles down. Have I been reading to much technical papers on my engine?

Other than Round up (glyphosate) the options are go to Bunnings or similar and try the other non selective weed killers. This stuff seems to work quite well. Some people say glypho is carcinogenic. Wouldn't surprise me if it is, but are the others any better....? Your yard is obviously not a...

Exhaust not booked up properly after the tailshaft was fixed?

If you have a mint VF and don't drive it I'm pretty sure one day you will wish you did. I mean, what are you saving it for? If somebody offered you a low km stream engine tomorrow for only 25,000 bucks would you buy it? That's a very good price for a steam engine you know?

Sounds like you need to drive the car a lot more to me. If we say value of 20k it has already lost half of the new car price but driven less than 10% of its potential.

The market has been hitting record highs recently. Made me suspicious straight away - how long will that last...

Weird. Your island surrounded by water but it's not raining?

Unusual for Tas I'd think. Would make a good time to do cradle mountain. Has it been less windy than normal this year as well?

Most strains are the same. They must get a bulk discount on the artist fees that way.

I seem to remember the breast pieces were usually like that.

Ah yes I know the one now. I had to rig up some funky piece of string or fishing line to reconnect the plug. Probably used pliers to squeeze the tabs in to disconnect it. 10 years ago, I'm just glad I only had to do it once ;)

Not easy. Can't remember which way I did it but only 1 way would work for me. I think I connected it first before screwing it in, that way there's more slack in the cable and I think I did it through the engine bay. Or are you talking about the post cat sensor beside the transmission?

If you visit a local suspension mechanic shop they should have a stack of them lying around.

Oh so that what it was for!. Certainly didn't seem to do much for the plague ;)

Get it working then everyone can use your name when we shop there. Your insider points will explode. Fifi: What's your name? Everyone: Losh Fifi: Josh who?

Don't know what that's all about. Ask the dude on the counter next time and somebody there should know.

Hmmmm I half remember something saying the insider thing works through the app? Not sure. Maybe your membership is too old. Just go and sign up again perhaps so you get all the welcome bizzo. I've had more success waiting for their sales like 25% back in bonus bucks. That way you can get your...

Springs last a long time but 275 k is getting up there. Depends what kind of life they've had as well. All smooth road or have you been driving through Victoria with @losh1971 ? Has anyone had trouble with the springs on a high km VE?

I love a good punchline Hahaha.

It's not really the age of the oil that matters, within reason. It's the amount of water, fuel, combustion products and any other contamination in the oil that matters most. How does it look and smell?

They have had a small range of Valvoline oil for around 5 years. Synpower, injector cleaner and a couple of grease pots. Small selection of ATF and brake fluid as well. Now it sounds like things have escalated. I say bring it on because the regulars are trying to charge close to $90 for a 5...

Woohoo, I should qualify for some degreaser then!

I didn't know there was such a thing as Repco points. I bought some strut tops and some filters so I wonder if I can get some degreaser too?

Sad how true that is for a lot of us. All to do with the way we live in separate silos (houses) these days. But seriously, two fingers? Surely four fingers and a thumb.........

That was the word on the street when abs first came out 30 years ago but I have heard several people say since then that it was just a scare campaign. As long as you keep the master cylinder above empty there isn't a problem. That's how I have been doing it since I bought my VS 22 years ago and...

There is no special drain. Most people say the process is the same. If you normally get the car serviced by a mechanic then get them to flush the brake fluid.
