  1. A repairer is entitled to a mark up on parts. Double the price would be a ripp off. However you would get quoted a retail price by Repco and the repairer would get a Trade discount.
  2. Very good point and check the battery terminals
  3. It may not be the starter. Could be a faulty ignition switch or voltage drop to the solenoid. You best get it checked first. You dont need to take the manifold off to do a starter

  8. This could sum it up Whether Labour or, National, I think you'll get a kick out of this! A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics?' Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family, so call me The Prime Minister. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People. The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we will call him the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense.' So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night,! he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his nappy. So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and see s his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy say's to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. ' The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.' The little boy replies, 'The prime Minister is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep sh*t.'
  9. I would get that checked...could be a number of things causing that
  10. I'd check with Gavin first The first obsticle might be the load single for EGS being out of scale....then your up for more trans related problems I think you'l also find the 540 throttle body wont fit in there and the plugs are different...or have you already researched this ?? I just looked at a fly by wire 540 we have in the workshop at the moment. Had 2 330's here yesterday....none today though
  11. Filter $ 73.87 Pan gasket $ 33.72 Oil (8L) $176.00 Full synthetic Dextron III All plus GST Labour would depend on the repairer. Done correctly the EGS should also be cleared of any fault codes if they are present. It may not take the full 8 litres of oil as it is not a trans rebuild job. I would estimate 1-1.5 hrs labour to do the job properly with a road test as well. There you are Just do the maths BTW: Those prices are for genuine parts and using ELF oil
  12. All my body parts wobble Simon
  13. Longlife gets done every 100,000km Dextron III full synthetic every 40,000KM Diffs every 40,000km with full synthetic oil
  14. I might actually get through to him soon....completely different cars
  15. This is not an E36. If you read the opening thread...its a 1992 750IL
  16. The proper oil costs more than $100 and a 318 I is a completely different gearbox. Compare apples with apples

    SNOTTY RECEPTIONIST An older gentleman had an appointment to see the urologist who shared offices with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients. As he approached the receptionist's desk, he noticed that the receptionist was a large unfriendly woman who looked like a Sumo wrestler. He gave her his name. In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, 'YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE; YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT?' All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at the very embarrassed man. He recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied, 'NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS.' DON'T MESS WITH OLD FOLKS
  18. He wants a service....not a rebuild Peter About $400 for the service. Pan gasket, filter, oil & labour
  19. Yes...was considering doing it when I go manual & LSD About $8,000 NSD for a kit X USA
  20. Apple sause on steak & lamb ??? you must be joking ?
  21. Yes it was. Lambs are going for $70-$80 each at the moment...so $10 each was a great price I've just filled the freezer with 2 hoggets so I'll sell the ewe for breeding, shes 3yrs old should get $80 for her
