electrical or air intake problem. run a jump wire from the positive side of the battery to the positive side of your coil and turn the engine over, see if it starts now. this basically just bypasses the ignition and establishes whether the problem lies in the ignition circuit or if it's somewhere else. Or it could simply be that your battery is not providing enough current to fire a big enough spark on all the cylinders, fully charge up the battery and pull out all your spark plugs to check for fouling and electrode gap, make sure using a feeler gauge that the electrode gap is 0.8mm, if not reset the gap or replace your plugs. check your distributor, clean up all the connections and make sure all leads have continuity through them. Pull off the airflow meter and check that it's moving properly and not sticking, in the cold whether they can cease. this is one of those really annoying things to trouble shoot, but hopefully this gives you a base to start narrowing down the problem.

the thermostat is still the piece of equipment that reads the temperature and tells the gauge what to show, so if the thermostat is faulty (gives intermittent readings) then the gauge is going to flicker and do funny things.

Welcome, it's good to have some more southerners aboard, get yourself a sticker - order form here

just noob customer service and sales

i just bought 2 complete control arms for less than $80 ea incl gst, so the best bet would be to replace the whole arms.

ah my bad, wasn't thinking too well then.

and consider the small case sold (to me) when you take it out

Welcome, best luck with food smearing vomit ejecting menace.

can we get rid of pink writing for ever!?

i need gus again

The E30 trailing arms i am refurbishing have been sitting for a while and are a bist rusty etc ... I can't for the life of me get the bloody discs off!! any bright ideas?

got the trailer sunday, cheers though.

there are a few loophole like this, with the ability to keep the same number with either provider you can switch back and forth and benefit from the freebies that they offer to entice you over from the competitor. sell the free phone you get each time and make money from the bastards.

they're just winding you up, i'm sure it was legit. from a sellers point of view i'd never withdraw an auction once it had reached reserve.

my telecom phone is up for sale on trade me if anyone wants to buy it LINK TO AUCTION no reserve

Telecom have good plans for off peak free minutes and 500 txt to anyone, i've been with telecom for about 4 years now and have had no problems, up until now the plans they have were much cheaper than vodafone, I was spending $40 month at telecom and getting the equivalent to a $60 a month vodafone plan. Tomorrow I am switching to vodafone because i need to make more calls during peak times and their plans are better, i have been waiting to be able to keep my same 027 number which i can now do. Summary: Telecom cheap plans for off peak and weekend calls ample free text to any number crap range of phones crap 3g network old technology (but who notices anyway?) Vodaone good business plans good you choose plans annoying that txt is only to other vodafones vast range of phones good 3g network it's not telecom better overseas useability by miles Their range/coverage seems to be on par and the customer service i don't really use. hopefully I will be happy with my move to vodafone, even if it is just because it's "not telecom"

haha I love the diversity here, why don't we get school girls who drive bmws signing up?

thats good to hear, will book in a trailer with a winchand I might grab a few mcdonalds trays to aid in the dragging. Is anyone in papakura area free next sunday the 17th to come and help get the thing on the trailer? also Jared I might swing by your place on the way back from chris's and hire your engine hoist for monday.

I am assuming you mean the inner ball joints? if so then from my experience the best option is to replace the whole control arm. New control arms are approx $100 each and include both inner and outer ball joints. Reason - the outer joints will need replacing soon anyway, there is too much messing around just to get a ball joint pressed in.Now while you're there you'll have to replace the control arm bushes too because unless you are very careful when you remove the control arm you'll damage the bush, and the rule is replace all rubber parts when you get the opportunity. Summary: Control arm x 2 - $200 bush x 2 - $100 Labour - FREE (do it yourself) Total - $300

i wish, would make it a lot easier for me to get it onto a trailer.

Nice Looking Car, Welcome Aboard

Wouldn't want to bail too often, I can imagine it would be a pain in the ass to turn around and pick you up
