    Alignment slightly out. I noticed a tiny bit of wear on the right tyre. Interesting because every time i wheel align it is always a tad out. I was told every 12 months is enough for an alignment but glad i choose to do it every six months.
    Also had a safety inspection done. No issue apart from a intermittent fault with one of the driving lights. I know the isue is in the plug but i never remember to pull it apart and clean it as i hardly ever get to use the spotties. Thought waste of 62 bucks getting the inspection, since no problems found but it is good to know everything checks out.

    @losh1971 That wear would have been the inner edge?

    I thought the outside looked like it was wearing. I must be wrong. I rarely pull the wheels off to check the whole face. Only time they come off is when i know my brake pads will be starting to get down. Then they come off most oil changes, so i can keep an eye on pad wear. Bit slack i know but using the floor jack while over the pit can be a PITA. If i can get a hoist one day i will be laughing.

    New Starter Motor... just plucked it from the parts shed, and seeing as it looked good and wasn't marked "bad"or "Suss"it was good to go... as for the ass dragging on the ground look... don't care as long as it handles better... my ole VR daily ute is dropped 2" at the rear stock on the front with 18s' handles so much better and steers nicely on our rougher roads as the trail is greater...

    Hopefully fixed the leak on right hand side near glove box. Looked like a piece of the sealing around the drain for the wiper where the small filter thingo is has a small hole. Applied silicone and will wait . Should have done a hose test before I put it back together. Also clean air con drain while I was at it, even though it didn't appear blocked. wife has to go to townsville on teh weekend and with teh wet season don't want it full of water due to the noise the leak makes such as "Why is my foot wet" from the wife.

    I was wondering if that may have been the case. Sound like fun or at least thecend result will be.

    Sold my V8 VR Calais...
    Was a great car but didn't have the time or resources to direct towards a full restoration.

    The buyer seemed pleased and I hope he carries on in the direction I had hoped to.

    Washed the air filter and oiled it this time. Reasonable amount of dirt came out well I think a reasonable amount of dirt came out.

    Nice , mine did one and a half months ago.
    No dramas = helps = maybe going to them for years and they also know it's now not a daily.

    Quite a few years ago I went in = service time = I've gone I've done this , this and this etc = he's gone so what do you want me to do !!!!!
    I'm too pollite to say just stamp the book = got them to do a general check over and change brake fluid.

    I might add since I just wright what's been done and throw my own name on the service book now = it's 24 years old and not miniscule kms anymore !!!!!!
