Just starting service today
Ohh s#@%
At 3am in the morning, thats keen mate!
So you can get to the shops early if needed I take it.
Take your time eh
Not scary at all mate. You will be fine. Ask any questions you have and someone will be about to help you for sure. Nothing hard though mate.
Not much in this is there?????????
Oil, filters, brake adjust, a squirt here and there with the grease gun, check and top up fluids.
Takes time but not that difficult as MR says whole heap here waiting if you get stuck.
Time and a good roller seat or milk crate :)
Well hopefully all went well and your not cursing and screaming at us in vain..
got my last service done by mechanic as under warranty still,i do every five and let mechanic do every ten or so I thought didn't rotate air filter didn't clean maf sensor 2 grease nipples on front drive shaft not greased as nipples needed turning 20 degrees to be able to get gun nossel in there. purposefully done by myself to check quality of mechanic . asked him to replace fuel filter as I work bush constantly naaa mate it was fine how could he tell its a bloody sealed unit. I will now forego warranty and service the bloody thing myself . Oh yeah didn't take off rims to check brakes . No wonder we don't trust these so called tradesmen they think we are all idiots . not all mechanics are the same though . just the good ones are few and far between
Well half way through service doing all of the good stuff.
And then jack broke,not looking I accidentally used the jack for my other car.
Glad I pulled intake manifold completely blocked only the size of a 20cent piece gap for air to enter.
Holy Shizuoka I think the grenade was close to dropping its pin.
You are worrying me... what is it you are doing exactly????
Save your worries..I am a professional.
Can't you tell I used a jack that couldn't support the car.
End result SNAP!
Is there a drug in use here???????
Well the Dr did put me on these new meds recently.
Just kidding all went well found some interesting under lying issues.
Hub seal on right hand side is leaking badly
My intercooler is full of holes
And the intake manifold 3 out of the 4 ports were blocked....black gungy Vegemite concistency
And a split boost pipe underneath were it couldn't be seen.
Not good mate....some easy fixing there except the inter cooler.
Not good, but will give you some more things to do..
New prob.
This morning I fired up the beast which really amuses the neighbours!!
And noticed a rattling Sound coming from the front of the gearbox area,also it completely disappears when I push the clutch pedal in.
Reckon it a bearing maybe,perhaps throwout bearing.
Any thoughts guys?
Sounds like you'll be taking the gear box off soon mate?....
Yeah looks like it
Has anyone got any other ideas of what it could be
Bearing on the gearbox input shaft?. I had a hilux that done the same...
Yes it could be,not looking forward to pulling it apart.
Its really noisy..getting embarrassing now
Sounds like you found some problems, should go like a new one soon
There's always hidden little nasties.
Rust growing bellow wiper spindles under the grate type thing. Is this common?
if the vehicle has been splashed lots with salt water over the bonnet yes, mine is the same but its 20 years old and is an ex-fisheries vehicle
Never been of road.
And absolutely never been submerge.
Same same here!Quote:
