Changin the thermostat on my brothers pulsar. Took two bolts off the housing. Loose, but woulnt come off. Thought maybe corrosion holding it on there, hit with a rubber mallot a few times, came off ok. Then I noticed the third bolt under the housing that I hadnt seen...
Anyway, went to compare thermostats and my dad had purchased the wrong one, so the car isnt driveable till we get both the right thermostat AND a new housing....

fitting my new head unit was following the colour codes of the units harness and a harness guide for the freewire->stock connecter. then half way though was told to just join it colour for colour, everything works fine except the rear speakers. the rear left and right are the wrong way around [ i.e. swapped channels ]. still havent bothered to fix it.

A mate of mine cooked a red head, the only one around was a blue one. I told him yeah sure it will bolt up no worries but to check the head gasket was the same. He figured if it bolted up it would be right. So he put it on drove down the road and cooked it again. He then asked me to tow him home and asked me why it cooked. I wasn't sure so we pulled the head of, when i lined the gasket up on the head the water jacket holes were covered in.
