    Lowish Fuel economy, service list

    32psi is relatively low. I think about 40psi is the max, and 36-37psi would be a good medium for good rolling economy.

    Well Done Alan Joyce - BALLSY!

    Why is it only QANTAS and The Union getting the brunt of the arguement? Why isn't someone blaming the Government? Without the Government's interferance, Inflation wouldn't be running so high (alot higher than the reported 3%), promting the Unions to ask for a 5% per year pay rise for 3 years...

    Oil Leak, help.

    Lets brainstorm my oil leak please. So i finally got around to having my inlet manifold gasket replaced by a mechanic. He didn't tighten the negative battery terminal up properly which caused a short term problem, but now it seems i have a bigger one. A massive oil leak, followed by a...

    200 kms out of a full tank of premium fuel

    Could really be anything from flat tyres to faulty thermostat. Check all the fuel related causes. Plugs, leads, injectors. Temperature related, cooling system, thermostat. Blocked cat? Reset Ecu and check codes? Inflate tyres to recommended levels and stop driving like a hoon?

    Decent Roadworthy Testers in Werribee/Hoppers Crossing VIC?

    It's a precarious position. On one hand it could be seen as a stimulus measure? People need it done and getting it done will generate work for the Mechanical industry. On the another hand, it would serve to make our roads safer from unroadworthy cars. But frankly i think more Mechanics will...

    Vt v6 head gasket or inlet manifold?

    I'd say Inlet, because your oil is getting low as it's being sucked out in the vacuum created by the cooling system. No milky stuff would suggest it might not be the head gasket and the coolant is not getting low, but i'm sure it's getting very dirty. Replace the inlet manifold gasket first (job...

    Rough idle

    Take it out ASAP. It will do more damage to your engine than you realise. Did this not give the illegitimacy away: "How does it work? It will modify any standard ECU by telling the ECU that the incoming air in the intake system is cold and so advances the ignition by up to 2 degrees with...

    55 litre fuel tank

    Some say there is a reserve amount, or the calibration allows for a reserve so when it says empty or 0km to empty there is actually sufficient amount to get you to the servo. Mines get at about 15L left.

    [VIC] Needing my VT repaired, What are these parts?

    I wouldn't be surprised if the power steering needs a fix. Apparantly they leak and the fluid seeps onto the engine mounts which corrode them and cause them to fail, resulting in the sump/engine resting on the cross member. This was explained to me when i had my car safety checked too. I had...

    Claiming stuff on tax

    Rightly so but in the general sense from an individual persons point of view, most people don't work from home, rather have a place of employment. I should edit the start of that sentence to be clearer.

    Claiming stuff on tax

    I'm an Accountant, and the determination of a deductible expense is an expense that is incurred to maintain or enhance your ability to earn assessible income in your current employment. But you cannot claim expenses that relate to you gaining additional employment. This is incorrect. Car...

    jehovah's witnesses on the way- what have you done?

    Worth changing ignition leads?

    i did a DIY service on my car but dismissed the leads, weeks later developed a miss, $125 for an auto service and they told me it was an engine miss and to replace the leads, imagine how annoyed i was. if unsure i would replace them, at best $50 could get you a set and not too hard to change.

    Exhaust terminology

    i think a recommended twin system for a standard V6 would be twin 2.25". Twin 2.5" would be massive overkill and a loss of performance for sure. Even with a twin 2.25", headers would make it even better.
