I'm after opinions and suggestions here - I have a pool style fence out the front of my house, 1200mm high with vertical rungs. I'd like to attach something to the fence to cover the gaps so it isn't "see through" anymore. It needs to look as neat and tidy as possible, and shouldn't cost the earth :...

ultratune used to charge $48 approx for a can!

I'm working as a technician at the dealership - and I've never worked at a place with so much equipment - and the shed is MASSIVE!!

Robert.

well..... I no longer work at Ultratune - I was there for 18 months, which was probably 12 months too long. I'm still coming to terms with how many useful skills I've let slide - no interesting diagnostic work at an ultratune..... I'm back at a dealership - HUGE improvement - proper record keeping, ...

geez.... getting me all stirred up! people are people - some are nice, some are absolute arseholes and a waste of space. doesn't matter what you look like, where you come from, or what language you speak. I don't care if people can't speak english. I don't car if people dress different or look diffe...

having only had the one apart before, all I can suggest is that you check double check and triple check that there are NO bolts left in it, and make sure that pistons are out of ONE side, you will need BOTH pistons out of at least ONE side, then, possibly some gasket stripper maybe to weaken the thr...

Good luck with what you are doing!

In my trade, I'm told that there are a LOT of customers that follow the mechanic, not the business.... you will probably find a lot of customers if they aren't happy with your old business or were very happy with your work, they will follow you anyway...

so how do we get those really cushy jobs on oil rigs? (thinking: google oil rig jobs?)

Robert.

bit fiddly i'd imagine.... I've done plugs a few times on dohc and h6 engines, I reckon anything is possible with patience. The covers are aluminium alloy aren't they? when they are off you should polish them.... I know nobody will see them but its just a fun thing to have shiny shiny mirror finish ...

torque spec for bolt that broke is 40nm.... that is fairly well swinging off a spanner or 3/8 ratchet to get it to that torque..... hmmm.... and boss isn't at all worried about it!

now here begs the question, how easy will it be to land a job at a dealership not advertising for any more staff?? I'm nearly set with the resume's and I've made sure all my referees are OK with saying something nice about me!

I'd love to move, my partner would love to move.... just not quite in a position to do so yet, was planning on something happening that way in 12 months or so :( The boss doesn't seem at all worried that he's been done over by another workshop due to my "stuff up" with that timing belt. I've been to...

http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=35888 I can think of three large mistakes I've made, one I'm not sure its all legit and two were my fault. I might be being blamed for $5000 worth of major repairs done to fleet company vehicles that we haven't been paid for because correct authori...

*puts on flame suit* I think I'd rather buy it with a toyota engine... I'm not quite sure on the matter lol. Subaru's engines are good, but seemed rather expensive to repair/maintain... but now that I think about it, Toyota's are dear as sin to repair and maintain as well.... maybe I take that state...

I'd LOVE to work for a citroen dealer again!!! I want to drive/work on/own a new c3 ds...

still thinking about what to do. I don't know whats going on at work at the moment, seems a little bit odd...

Robert.

for the record my idle up worked perfectly...

Robert.

Mine was rather old and tired at 350,000km and I'm sure it was getting down on compression. I had the same problem when the AC was turned on, never got to the bottom of it, sold the car... I *thought* that the receiver dryer might be clogged as it still had original r12 in the ac system and had *nev...

its just everybody now, they are all getting like that.... hate to think of how generation z will turn out!!

Robert.

I'm not a huge fan now, they carry on with too much shit and trash good old cars!! I'm NOT watching it if shane warne is on it! the only step lower would be to put a football player on it!

Robert.

unfortunately I think I may be a little bit too well anchored down here with the house and stuff to be moving for a while :( I don't understand how and why so many people feel the need to do a half-arsed job, its even worse at dealerships because you are supposed to be the factory trained technician...
