    Untrustworthy mechanics

    ari666 he had a good look at everything and came to this decision,checked the fuses and did not even mention to me that the fuse was blown when I knew that it did as I left it that way so if I'm pissing you off because I'm letting you know that I'm being ripped off then thats your problem and...

    Starting my own business

    If you can get the governments grant you dont ever have to pay it back they give it to you no matter how much it costs as long as they can see that its going to be a successful business.The business that I had was a lawnmower shop which I sold a while ago,which involved the sale of mowing gear...

    Car Steering weirdly

    Im not that old Zapp I got the diff info off my old man as he also had toranas in his days,but I was just stating a ford part that a holden used thats all mate
  21. E

    Does 12 month warranty cover injectors?

    The injectors will only cost $150 at the most for that car,so what he is saying is that he will cover the cost for them but you will have to pay for the labour cost for them to be put in.

    nankangs ...

    RiCeY mate I use these tyres on my car and I tow a trailer with over 200kg of weight in it every day and these tyres have always made the car stop straight away even when I had to brake quickly,these tyres are fine on a 15 year old car,but I do have Bridgestones on my GTS there is no point...

    Is this a fair quote??

    A honest mechanic should charge you $800 to fit the motor unless they go by their labour quota which states that it takes x amount of hours so it will cost x amount of dollars.

    nankangs ...

    I have used the ns11 ultra sport nankangs for the past 10 years and to me they are a great tyre,these tyres do grip well and last a long time,it sounds like alot of you out there drive your cars as if you were in a rally.If you drive your car in a responsible way these tyres are perfect.

    Car Steering weirdly

    My bad sorry zapp about the watts linkage,just realised the OP has the panhard rod installed, and the watts linkage is way better than the panhard rod as it tightens up the back end from the center of the car which handles way better,I have the watts linkage fitted on my GTS.As I understand they...

    Car Primer

    Can someone let me know how long can you drive a car when it has been primed before it will need to be sprayed?
  34. E

    Is this a fair quote??

    Sounds like the car was neglected by the previous owner or the mechanic is bullshitting big time and yes thats alot of money for what needs to be done to it so go to another mechanic not Holden.

    where do the towbar boot support bars go?

    The hayman reese should be mounted to the chassis rails of the car not the boot,they are a one piece bar with a tongue on either side with 2 holes for the bolts,how big are the other 2 bars?
