Tony, you were right on the money again, after 2 hours driving yesterday I poped the hood and checked the aircon pipes, they had more ice around them than there beer taps at the local pub. Will check...

We will be leaving Darwin mid May heading back to the Gold Coast. The good lady wants to go via Alice Springs. I hate driving 1000kms down a road to go some where, then back the same way.

When fitting any master cylinder, clutch or brake, you shoud bench bleed the cylinder first, I have never had a problem when doing this first

I will be interested to hear what they find, and also the cost, clutches with dual mass flywheels are not cheap

Strange that its only in First, I would have thought if it was the clutch/flyweel it would be worse taking off in second.
Like Tony says, really need to hear and feel it.

Wow, this wont look good, but my 2.8 TDi is getting 10L per 100km on the highway since blocking the erg and adding the 2T to the oil

Thanks Tony

So today went for a run up the Arnhem Highway from Darwin east towards...

No need to go to Nissan, Ryco filters are made to OE quality and ther is a fair chance they will be cheaper than Nissan. Most parts outlets will have a choice of filters

As part of my job I sell filters, Compare Sakura filter with say a Ryco filter, and you will see that the Ryco filter has far more pleets of filter paper, so efectivley a greater area of filtering...

thanks Tony

Will check that on next drive. I have noticed that there is always plenty of drips coming off the left hand chassis when I stop, i just have never bothered looking where they start...

Hi guys and girls, my aircon does not work as well as I would like. Yes maybe the gas could need checking, but on a trip, after 2 or so hours of driving there is almost no blow coing from the ducts,...
