But I thought it was just me that does this sh*t ........ As Maxwell Smart would say "The old double-oil-filter- ring-seal trick.... What the hell do you do with 6+ litres of new oil on a garage floor other than mop it up.......... and then realise its Sunday and you have to get to Supercheap or Repco to get more with no damn car. No-one home, so it was a f***ken Cab.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennox Member 2,586 Member For: 11y 6m 27d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 19/10/13 11:38 PM Share Posted 19/10/13 11:38 PM Reminds me of my recent adventures in installed earls inline oil filter... First didn't tighten it up properly so I started the car and had the black stream of doom pouring all over my turbo/exhaust manifold heat shields. Then as some of you know I left the old fitting in the turbo and nearly threaded the f*cker and was cruising round for nearly a week with it slowly leaking oil. I think I still hold the title of biggest mechanic fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapping perfectly good bolts that hold your brakes in place is pretty dense. Good times. I was just luckier than you and found the last pack of bolts at repco that arvo.

skidxr6t skids Donating Members 2,754 Member For: 11y 8m 25d Gender: Not Telling Posted 20/10/13 01:06 PM Share Posted 20/10/13 01:06 PM (edited) I've bought a few things from falcon specialists in maddington. Can seem pricey on certain things but the parts are all good. Don't think you can pick parts though but I've never asked. I agree with the thread title, we certainly do things just a little different over here in WA. Edited 20/10/13 01:08 PM by johnxr6t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
