Member 3,343 Member For: 18y 24d Gender: Male Location: Canning Vale, W.A Posted 27/07/08 10:42 AM Share Posted 27/07/08 10:42 AM Okay well I woke up for work this morning and was running late, got out my car and drove off as per usualget to the Freeway via Safety bay rd from the Round about and out of no-where is a pothole the size of the grand canyon, no time to avoid and my front left went straight in it. Buckeled my 19' rim :(2nd of all my boost gauge has completely stopped working for some reason, like it will turn on and look pretty but wont show what boost, just stays at -30.. No wires have fallen off and the tube from the vacuum line is fine.. any ideas??AND my car doesnt want to shift untill like 4500rpm now too, would you say its about time it had an oil change? becuase im having to change manualy to get down gears its screwed..oh and my dog fell in the fish pond for about 30mins and nearly died but I heard it crying and saved it.

Oh I can relate, mine just broke off the lead while we were going for a run and he thought we were still running as we came to a huge intersection and it wasnt our turn to cross.I.B.

Not to sure but might be worth a look.Hope tomorrow brings a better day for you mate.
