  1. Pixel fix time. Saw Sreten do it so ordered the parts and this hasn't gone well... 

    Looks like someone has been in here before...

    So where do I buy the motor's from? I don't see them on pixelfix... Or should I just get a new cluster?

  2. Odd thing happened yesterday. I was driving to Orewa last night. I looked down at the cluster because a "check brake light' message popped up and I noticed the temp gauge pointing to the red!

    Queue sudden panic! Light traffic so I slowed and pulled off onto the shoulder and as I came to a halt the temp gauge promptly went back to half way... I didn't smell anything and the BP station was just around the corner so I drove her back onto the motorway heading north. Temp gauge stayed at half way so I went to Orewa. Couple of hours later I checked the engine and fluid levels which were fine so drove home with the temp gauge staying at half way.

    Any ideas? Dodgy sensor perhaps or maybe fan clutch?


  3. Had them fitted yesterday. - mechanic showed me photos of the existing setup saying it looked like a 5 year old had assembled... Springs weren't seated correctly and able to be spun. Scary!

    Haven't driven the car much yet but ride home was lacking the usual boat creak when steering and the wheel was more centered. No longer pulling to the right either. Next step is new tyres - or new(used) wheels and tyres.

  4. Placed an order with spareto for springs and some misc parts - still shopping on shocks. Hopefully unrelated but fraudulent credit card transactions started turning up 3 hours later...
