  1. Thanks guys, The one problem in doing it myself is that I only have a limited amount of time to hand the RWC in to vicroads or the current rego on it will be cancelled (purchased from a licensed dealer without a roadworthy.) The car has 150xxxkm. He did say the Tailshaft bearing and couple were both completely stuffed, Would this be noticeable driving? It did have a decent diff type clunk but I couldnt feel much else (the gear stick had a slight vibration but it was all the time even at idle)
  2. Hey guys so I Just picked an BA Mk2 Xr6 Turbo (6pd Manual) - The car seemed really good other then it was pretty low in ride height, and had a chip in the windscreen. I realised when driving it that it had the all so familiar diff knock from the worn bushes. So taking it in to get a RWC today and the total sum is WAY to much for what I was expecting (can afford). The below is the list of Parts - windscreen $220.00- wiper inserts $12.00- secure underside tray $5.00- front lower ball joints x 2 $90.00- tail shaft centre bearing $150.00- tail shaft coupling $195.00- diff pinion bush (superpro) $113.00- diff support bushes x 2 (superpro) $215.00- diff cover reseal $20.00- diff oil (lsd) $30.00- upper outer hyme joints x 2 $199.00- rear bump stops x 2 (superpro) $80.00- front spring spacers x 2 (superpro) $155.00- rear spring spacers X 2 (superpro) $100.00- rear shocks $260.00- rear control blade bushes (superpro) $281.00- wheel alignment $55 This totals to $2000 and the labour on this is $1500. If anyone can assist I have a few questions Does the pricing on parts seem fair? (especially super pro bushes?)given the avg labour rate of $100ph (which is a guess) does 15 hours labour seem reasonable?Would all the items above be required for roadworthy?I have some mechanical knowledge and someone that can help me that knows what to do however would the bushes mentioned above need to be 'pressed' in or can they all be fitted in a regular home garage?He has over $500 for shocks and spring spacers to bring it to legal height, Is anyone selling factory suspension that would suit the car for much less or is that unlikely ?Finally if anyone knows somewhere in South East Melbourne that could do better on this or Help out with rwc extra please PM me. Thanks Andrew
