Just because there is another tutorial here doesn't mean you're not cray cray.

I hear ya. I need to replace some bushes in the back of my car and one part of me says just buy a twin bush diff hat and the other part says just buy bushes and make a tool. Maybe just make your own piping setup if you can?

Oh man that has got to be on my top five things in the world that pisses me of the most. It seems like a trivial thing cos pipes but it's worth doing properly.

Wpmo is my sore back. I lifted some weights back on Wednesday and although there was no sharp pain there was a dull ache afterwards that is still persisting. I was massaging it (my back that is) and noticed that there is quite a large numb spot in the muscle on the left side. Missing a few of training days or even a week won't matter till I get a scan but I'll be spewing if it is a lumbar disc issue.

Was it with or without oil?

Where are you from? Someone will point you to a reputable workshop.

Sweet. Another perfectly valid reason to break out the beers.

All good mate. I just thought I'd share my experience with a supposed top level workshop giving piss poor service. You should really get that looked at.

Paging @k31th

It sucks. I was mad. $1300 to fix it mad. The next time I trusted someone was a popular dude from this site. He was always polite, genuine and I'm pretty sure he posted my bits before the money cleared. It's not all bad but fook me if I'd leave my car with some one else again.

This is one reason I never leave my car with a "mechanic". This was the only time in 20 years or more I left my car with someone else to fix it. I had a prominent local gawler business look at my car for a trans fluid and pan change, and I told them not to boost it due to a broken tb rubber intake connector. On my way back to pick it up I caught them on video smashing 3rd to 150 or so in a 100 zone. When I told the "boss" I was cursed out, ganged up on by various karnts and told to "I <3 Bananas off'. 6 weeks later my turbo bearings failed. Never again.

Sorry to sound like a *beep* but it is a simple process. Don't pay for it and don't lose your data.

I have used Recuva. If you're just time limited then a reasonable price is what your time is worth imho.

I've had a couple. You know when I stop posting is when I'm truly pissed.

You're. Sorry, the "kids" (aka millennial generation) made me do it. When tv turns to crap I make my boys fang their moto in the back yard.

Turbo nuts. Mods feel free to remove cos pen*s.

What are ads? It's only Netflix and ABC kids in this house. You know you've been watching too much ABC kids when you think that doing an acoustic guitar cover of Giggle Galaxy or Peter Rabbit is a good idea.

Morning. It's only just after 9 here and I've already read a comment about a dude using half a brick to wipe his butt. It's going to be a long day.

All good. 70 imho is getting too cold though. Aaronm is on the money.

The coolant temp correction will (bloody well should) be tuned to take care of this. Edit: Agree on fan tuning though

Fuel consumption is tune related not temp related, but the tune is temp related so it affects the fuel consumption if that makes sense. All things being right nothing drastic would change by heating your engine up a few degrees.

You are smart for doing it in safe areas and lucky you didn't get caught.

Mine sits at a third and goes to just under half when sitting. One thing I picked up over the years is don't trust a factory sender for diagnosis especially temp senders and oil switches. A motor can be too hot by the time it goes up and there could be not enough oil well before the light comes on.

Sounds like the thermostat was sticking initially and once replaced acted like a thermostat should. @ROB83R 70 to 90 is just fine for an alloy/cast motor. Don't go colder, you'll run into several issues, while not major, will decrease engine life and increase fuel consumption. On that note don't flog ya car until it's warmed up!
