Turn on the park lights or head lights.

Hmmmmmmm

Lift the bonnet then start the engine and turn the steering wheel each way, and if it squeals in the engine bay it might need a new belt and may need a new idler pulley. Also if it squeals when you hit the go pedal same thing applies.

Pic required.

Was it hot there yesterday ??

The pic is not a drivers handle but same idea. Plastic seal around the outside and 2 nuts hold the outer handle in place. The rod you refer to probably connects to the black clip in the right top corner.

That's where a heat gun comes in handy and I note same seller for both products, bargain !!

There are clicks, and then there are click clicks. I have found a faulty battery will usually make the starter turn then create a number of clicks where as a faulty starter will usually only click once or twice then no more until the key is turned off then on again. I mentioned on here before...

Is it really a question of supply or are there way too many people coming in the gate from other countries. Migration is booming and every extra person needs somewhere to live but of course while blind freddy can see this it appears the public service can't see we are being overpopulated by...

A quick calculation says you could buy the ICE version at around $115,000.00 and put up to 500,000 k's of fuel in it at $3/litre for the same price of the E version at $255,000.00 As for being subsidized you get the GST back roughly $23,000 providing you buy it not lease it, and most people...

For all those EV/BV lovers, the ultimate ute is here. The E Ute has arrived in the form of a Ford F150. It is called Lightening. Just what all the tradies and grey nomads need. Prices start around $225,000.00 + onroads or for the upmarket version just $255,000.00 or you can get a few extras...

Don't care ? or don't know ?? A lot of people go into a car yard/dealership on Saturday morning and own another car before lunch, why ? because it looks so nice/it is newer/it smells nice/the salesman was so helpful/ just love the colour/lookatme/lookatme/lookatme I've got a new car, oh you're...

Actually at age 19 we would take an FJ Holden with only one tail light and add indicators and extra tail lights, then the public servant would tell us to remove them cause it was not manufacturers specification. Thinking more about it Jadster, if you do remove them, move to the Sunshine Coast...

Most Victorians in Qld don't know indicators are activated by the stalk on the steering column. I'm going to hell for this ain't I ;)

Like everything in this world we have to agree or disagree with something and I disagree with you, why not give it a quick scrub. Probably because I was a plumber I am used to dealing with other peoples shiit, but it also reminded me of a neighbour who told me it was not his job to clean a bit...

I don't consider 90 in a 110 zone correct cause that is what they are doing. I at least know my speedo is 4 k fast at 110 so I am only over by 1 to 4 k's but gees, having to back off to 90 is beyond a joke.

Gees why blame the grey nomads ( I am of the age but not a nomad ) and when I have to go to Bris on cruise at 115-118 in the 110 zone I am constantly held up by people who are waaaay younger than me all sitting in the right lane.

The future is fooked. Now as to retirement villages, as immort states they are a scam but the biggest scam is the fact when you buy in you are buying the lease on your unit, not the unit itself, then you pay a weekly fee for services i.e grounds maintenance, common areas, staff etc and when you...

Nothing to do with politics. all to do with common sense which ?, well, is not too common. Of course the EV owners are happy, they are yet to see the light or the actual cost, besides, most people never admit to their mistakes. And I have noticed an awful lot of EV owners/drivers have the...

Wow, those figures sound incredible until you factor in the cost of the EV cost of battery replacement cost of the PV system and as I read yesterday interest in RV's in europe is waning due mainly to cost of EV range anxiety lack of charging stations which may be why Tesla laid off 10000 staff...

Mine in the VZ ticked until I replaced it, no idea why they tick. Hopefully someone knows.

This is the drum brake adjuster tool I was referring to, not sure if I made this one or came by it somehow. Needless to say don't need it anymore.

The older members are coming out of the woodwork with our pain stories today and here it is my 76th birthday. Happy Birthday to me Was gonna start polishing swimbos car today now that mine is done but it's raining so gonna have some prawns and oysters and beer soon, yum yum. Just noticed my...

Assume the replacement starter was new ???? If second hand then could still be a problem. Also key needing a jiggle is not good..

Does it have plenty of fuel because if the fuel is low and the vehicle is parked leaning into the kerb on the passenger side, they can have trouble with the fuel pump not picking up fuel. If this is the case then maybe push the car to level ground.

Pain will take weight off people so why not animals. I remember laid up with back pain for 10 days and lost 8 kg

I would buy a new gasket Way better to have one and use it rather than not have one and need it. https://www.bing.com/search?q=gasket+ve+plenum&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&ghc=1&lq=0&pq=gasket+ve+plenum&sc=7-16&sk=&cvid=38E91C6FE5F24D63A0AA93B0BA617336&ghsh=0&ghacc=0&ghpl=

These pics may help The large O ring is 54mm approximate outside dia and 3 approx thick. The orange seal is obviously holden exclusive I would think but you could try a hydraulic repair place. The drive pulls out and the rest unscrews as you can see. I would suggest a quick degrease then run it...

Thank you for all the replies I found these when cleaning out cupboards, along with a stack of imperial spanners, and while I knew what they were used for way back then, I was unsure of the starter size. I remember back in the 60's if you owned one of these you were king of the car brigade. Of...

OK brains trust, which of these spanners suit the 149/179/186/202 starters. The 5/8 to 9/16AF or the 1/2 to 9/16AF or is it the 9/16 that is important.

That's odd cause in 1966 I went to a TAFE College for my apprenticeship training. I understand you not knowing that as it was 35 years before you were born. Just saying.

LOL nah, if one of the 3 the angle grinders (4"/ 5"/ 9") can't fix it the oxy comes next. I once fitted a 313 cu inch Chrysler v8 into an FC Holden ute using not much more than a 9" grinder, arc welder, oxy gear and a few ring spanners. The authorities would jail me if i did that today.

Usually to remove riverts, you drill through them with the same size drill bit, or at worst, chop the headfs off with a sharp chisel (I use a carpenters chisel bc I have a few). I had replace a window mechanism and window and drilled out the riverts then replaced the riverts with some 3/16"...

Reminds me of the story of the young bloke caught having sex with the young girl so his old man sends him off to confession. The priest said to the young bloke Was it mabel rothy kid say's no father Was it julie lake No father Was it carol rolls No father The priest say's go on your way and say...

Usually cannot register a vehicle in another state in your name unless you have an address/licence in said state.

Yep fully understand, I was lucky in that I started working on cars at about 11 and then had mates who were brake mechanics etc so I learnt a shirtload while fixing/changing things to make my cars better.

Inflation is simply the public service printing more money and giving it to people who usually unwisely spend it and inflate the economy, meaning business get busier so they jack up their prices.

Yes, I fully understand price rises but at the end of the day it is up to us the consumer to say farq, we are not paying these prices, we will do it ourself, after all, I come on forums to learn and try to help others bc in all honesty I don't play golf, I don't fish, and boredom is the biggest...

Why are you not doing the general service yourself ? All they do is change oil and sometimes filters. Cabin filter change is far from rocket science. Easy to do yourself, and buy the filter online delivered.. Mate of mine, ex builder, is now doing all his servicing bc he got tired of paying what...
