    Caster Arm??

    Not sure mate, will ask my mate that question. I havent checked anything else out since I last had use of the car a couple of weeks ago and the temp kept going up to 3/4 then back down again ( I was thinking the fan was working as it came down under half again then back up then back down). The...

    Dual Fuel VT - Power problems when running petrol

    I had this with my car. I put some fuel injector cleaner through it and it was running better the next day and improved over the next few days. Now it is run on petrol all of the time and it runs perfect. I also changed my spark plugs which fixed the rough running when I started it up. I gave...

    Stolen in the post

    AP are useless. Im still chasing them for an item I sent weeks ago that never turned up. I ended up refunding the buyer. On the flip side, A parcel coming to me went walkies recently too. Their express post is pathetic. 4 days for supposedly overnight delivery between capital cities. Nothing...

    Shoppers ring up $100m in compensation for falls in supermarkets

    Its sad that people will try and make a fortune out of others. The amount of times ive cut my arm/hand on a sharp dodgy shelf edge in the supermarket when grabbing something. Or maybe I should sue the owner of this house or the builders when I slipped on the poorly thought out steep driveway...

    Brake Failure Question

    Thank you for the replies and advice. I will be taking the lappy with me tomorrow so I can refer to here. I agree having it go so long is going to mean more damage has been done. Im sure I will be back once Ive had a look to see what is going on. Thanks again, your help is appreciated.

    Commodore VT V6 starting problem

    Dont think the key would cause poor fuel economy and hesitation. Have just dealt with similar issues with my 98 VT. Fuel injectors were dirty. (Narrowed it down to this or low fuel pump pressure) A clean fixed the hesitation problem straight away. I also had issues on start up and replaced...

    Where to buy clubsport bodykit?

    I ended up buying mine because the assessors wouldnt touch an aftermarket kit. They couldnt put their Guarantee on their work, so I got a cash settlement and did the repair work myself. They did give me the name of a repairer not aligned with my insurer who would do the job for the quote given...

    Where to buy clubsport bodykit?

    I got the one from QLD. My car came with the aftermarket one when I bought the car too and was trashed as. I will eventually ditch the body kit, but it will do until I decide what colour and look I want the car to have down the track. The bumper I got was a bit awkward to fit and doesnt seem...
