Self employed for 10 odd years importing/selling/hiring machinery. Before that, was a mechanic for Moyes Panmure (holden team ), before that apprenticship ( mechanical ). Working towards Astrophysics at the moment part time/study.

I think most euro cars have the indicator on the left hand side. At a guess, and only a guess, they are right ( road ) hand driving countries.It is a bit of a pain, because I regulary drive three cars/vans. Funnily enough, I have no problems with the BMW, but the other two if I'm in lar lar land or distracted, I switch the wipers on instead of indicating.

At a guess, proberly your rocker cover gasket. Easy to replace.

I assume Tim is OK?.....

I'm not sure of the RRP as it's not on my docket. At a guess add 20%.Repco should be your last port of call, because RRP pricing is steep as far as automotive accessories go. A joke in the trade is Repco stands for: Rip Every Poor Cnut Off .. Iv'e heard of silicone glaze. Never used it however. Cheers for the thumbs up guys/gals... make the effort that much more worth it

Yeah - the car is parked on a steep angle. The tar drops off alot on the right hand side. Gave it a nice 4x4 ride height on L/F

Yes - it says on da bottle safe for wax... so I got it.EMMA: Tyre shine: $13.32 Polish: $18.10 Wax: $20.39 Pads: $4.50 2 pack ( got two packs ) Buff cloth: $7.52 3 pack Soft gel wash $9.80 Total $78.13 + gst ( get gst back ) Oh - trade price from REPCO.

Last pic. Iv'e haven't usede Maguiars before. Most impressed with the product. It's alot shinner than the pics show. A good sunny day will help. Also picked up some Meguiars Soft Wash Gel. I am hoping this will be allright now to was the car with??....any ideas?

Not very sunny when I finished, but was beautiful day for the 4 hours it took me..oh well least it's not raining

And after the wax:

Second pic, again ready fot the last step:

Gave the car a good seeing to today. Products used: Meguiars High gloss tyre shine Meguiars Caraba wax step 3 Mehuiars Polish step 2 Meguiars applicator pads First pic, after the clean and polish, masked up because i'm just fussy

Hopefully on topic now this is on rotangs... I build years ( 14 ) ago a 13B stage 2 engine, and put it into a Chevron Kit car I build. ALL my mates were V8 freaks ( so was I to tell teh truth ), but if you've looked under a Chevron bonnet, its damn small. Anyway - none of my mates could beat my Chevron, and some had big block badass chevvys. The ones I took for a drive all said it was the fastest thing they ever been in. Power to weight ratio is awesum, if you dont mind the sound they make They are amazing engines, basically go together like a ruddy big club sandwich

Where the hell do u get this sh*t from? an old school boy trick. Lower the coin into the slot slowly by the string, and when it hits the switch, raise and lower the coin so you keep getting credits.I don't condone this behaviour, because its basically theift.

MEOWWWW ! - Josh, I thought the mags looked sweet in just a pic, but damn they look sexy on your 330 mate. The kit will be the icing on a very nice cake Well done! :mosh:

Meguiers is your friend.Wax on wax off grasshopper Seriously - check out http://www.meguiars.com/ Pop into repco, super cheap etc for some serious three step car care. I haven't used it yet, but going to buy some soon. I've seen pics on here of cars with the three step completed, and WOW - talk about beautiful. Think it was Abby's car that got a good seeing to. What do people think of their "Two step system" Deep Crystal polish followed by Deep Crystal wax. Any good?

The glass itself plays a role in scattering, or more correctly, directing the light. Do a little research on the lens if you want more light 'spread' etc.

If you were tickited on your way, I am sure you could write in with your story and proof of new rego and WOF, with the dates and times highlighted, compared to the ticked date and time.

Very Nice - similar to mine. ENJOY! PS: yeah keeping dark cars clean is a real bitch. But the results are well worth the effort. Talk on here is the the Meguiars three step is the way to go.

Wow thats different. The catcher looks kinda rude, but neat at the same time. Loose the guages, and it would be quite nice. Not my cuppa tea however. Defently worth a look and a test drive thou :thumb:

no sh*t champ.I was refering to the stop as a whole, as in if your car (nb - all those cars that will go through the stop) is not up to scratch you deserve a ticket. T he reason i called you a tard was the fact you got stung for 600 bling, indicating you did not have something the police wanted which in turn skooled your wallet. I figured that is what you ment after reading it again. I agree too with no wof - if your caught, stiff titties.Your a moderator sic - act like one. By name calling/jumping down members throats, it dosen't send a good signal to others. It dosen't bother me at all personally, but others it may. PS: my wallet is ok - company pays for this :thumb:

because you do know the rules and regulations regarding forklifts............. how much is a d-plate worth a year??? any special requirements for being able to get one?? About two years ago I inquired about one. I was told by a lady on the PH, I needed to be a "dealer", and I didn't qualify. So I took it no further. Couldn't be bothered, because I was on hold for ages, put through to four - five differnt people, blah blah.When I find out Cam - I will PM you the results.

Sic - I was on a forkhoist - not in a car. - Read the post dude. ============================== lol what they do you for on a forklift??? all you need is curreent rego and an f endorsement.... =============================== finshed putting the motor back in today and delivering it to a customer. I have a forklift license, but no F on my license. As for the plate/rego - I don't have one If I registered all my hoists, it would cost thousands. She also said I will still need a WOF as well. I don't think that is correct. Been driving around penrose for years on these, and knew I would be sprung one day. I'm not peeved or angry in anyway - I knew it was coming. The way I look at it, I have saved four - five times the fine in transport costs.... but will now get my D plate and "F" on my license. Yeah - they wern't to sure how to handle me actually, because the chick issuing the fine hadn't pulled over a forkhosit before... The lady copper laughed at me having my license on me thou , didn't get that joke at all.

Down by Waikaraka Park, Neilson St, there is a massive Police stop. Stopping almost all cars, diverting them into the park itself. Warrants, regos, Licenses etc. I overheard some saying its been a fantastic day ( bastards ), and the next shift is starting soon. So - they will be there all day by the looks of it. If you must, make sure you have your license, wof and rego or diesel tax all sorted. Me - walked out $600-00 + transport costs out of pocket. Mind you, I was driving a forkhoist..... dammit.

I think that would be a waste of time, if you can't take a little bit of sarcasm or sh*t from somebody, even if it is in bad taste then wtf kind of world are you livin in???in the real world sh*t like that happens, get over it. I don't use that function on other sites. It was purely a suggestion.I belive ppl should express their opinions, nice or, sometimes, not so nice. As you state - why take it to heart?.... it's the interweb afterall
