How can you take it back? The workshop did all the things you would do to eliminate/rule out factors that may cause a problem.

The fact that its pushing water out isnt a good sign are you sure the cooling system is bled properly?

Did you check the coolant when you picked the car up?

Was away so got someone to pick it up for me and they said it all looked sweet.. and it drove fine until i gave it a little bit a day later.. havent checked that the system has been bleed correctly as i assumed a radiator shop would know how to bleed it properly... getting a family friend to go over the car with me on sunday so will have a look then..

as for getting my cash back, dont really think I'll get it back either.. Just want to give the rude C*#T that blasted me on the phone for telling him how to do his job a bit of a blast back... and for the record, i didnt tell him how to do his job, just asked a simple question... will not be going back...

Could still be an airlock mate, look up diy. Fingers crossed for ya... Subies can be poo for airlocks

[R-Y]

100% not just an airlock.. hopefully will have the head gasket replaced in 3 weeks... will update with photos when its finished...

[R-Y]

Gasket Kit arrived today... Hopefully will have the Foz back on the road within the week....

On another note, ordered a zerosports triple guage pod and a few other goodies as well, the're yet to arrive but will not hesitate to throw them on.

[R-Y]

Car gets fixed not this weekend coming but the next. On another note, some goodies arrived.....



Still waiting on the guage pod to go with it so wont get installed for a few weeks yet..

Looking good mate. Can't wait to see it back on the road!

[R-Y]

U and me both Morgan.. Been doing little trips in it of a weekend, down to the shops and back, and absolutley love it..

[aekOne]

good news mate!

[R-Y]

No progress on the car getting fixed yet but I do now have 2 slashed tyres and a foot long scratch on my bonnet where some prick has keyed my car... maybe i should just sell up and buy a vespa

[Morgan]

That sucks

Low life pieces of scum

[R-Y]

Yup. Im currently looking for a bigger place with a double garage so i can actually park the foz inside. No more worrying about riff raff destroying something they can afford.


On a side note. I am stripping most of the parts off the liberty today. Which takes that one step closer to gettin sold and freeing up more $$$$ to be spent on the foz...

[aekOne]

Damn that's 'ed mate!! There are some real dirtbags around!!

[4rstr]

there are definately some classy people in newcastle just hope it was a once-off and not some who is hating on you.

[Scuba-Roo]

That sucks! and I always thought Cameron Park was free of that crap.

[R-Y]

We dont usually get much crap like this but there are plenty of drunk 16 year olds that walk past our place. (we have a lane way right next to us and one accross the road, seem to get alot of pedestrian traffic..)

looking into a decent car cover for now..

[Scott]

sucks to hear mate

my last sti got written off by vandals out the front of my house along with a few other cars
and im in a pretty decent area, doesnt matter where you are you will alway get fckwits

[R-Y]

unless its in a garage its never safe, i realise that and hopefully will have a place to put it soon.

[Grant]

That blows Ryan...is it covered by insurance?

[Xon]

Ouch, that sucks big time.
Even if it is covered by insurance, will still cost a few hundred in excess...

[R-Y]

Yeah its insured but wont be going down that road. Might have a few other bits and bobs that need paint in the future so might get it resprayed with them.
