[Brett]

Like a boss Shaz. Is that an axis? Look like axis rims. A fair bit more refined than the Earlier Stageas.

[Adam]

[Zac]

So got home from work today, some guy knocking on the door asking if I had seen or heard from my next door neighbour as he is a friend and
concerned he hasn't heard from him in the last few days, not too mention not answering his phone, the dog going nuts and his car is in the driveway.
We have spare keys to the house (as he is elderly but also been a great neighbour for many many years), open the door to the house to find the pets
and then calling out neighbours name we hear a muffled voice, he had fallen in the shower some 20 hours earlier and was stuck on the ground until
we found him.

We were originally thinking the worst, however luckily although he was cold and disoriented he was still in good spirits, called an ambo and got him to
hosptial, so hopefully he is gonna be all good, he is a stubborn bastard after all



@Kong, that shiz ain't good mate, hopefully they get that sorted for you quick smart.

[Samwise]

Man that sucks! Hope the ol' guy is alright.

My car's going to Subaru tomorrow, to re-do the timing cover, crank and cam seals they did just before Xmas.
Thank gawd for parts warranty.
Dealer's suck! I only go there 'cause my old boss now works there and he gives me trade prices + staff discount on parts and labour.

[Adam]

Farout, Ash! Good on ya, dude!

[Hypnotic]

@ Ash... Poor old bugger. 20hrs!!!!!
Hope he's ok

Yeah he'll be fine, he was in alot of pain but still managed to crack a couple of jokes lol

So I have inherited his cat and dog, well they are staying next door but im gonna feed them and play with them when i get home from
work, it's good for them as they were both rescued pets, so can be quite nervous around new people.

The missus got home from work today in her Holden Cruze, 75k on the clock & she's put 6k of that on it since buying it. Complete service history and last service 2 weeks ago. She asked me to see what's wrong with the car. The thermo fans were running with key removed. I popped the hood and OMG!
Oil everywhere, empty radiator & reservoir. Smoke & steam shooting out the side of the head/engine.

I reviewed her premium warranty policy and head gaskets are not covered in said policy.

Sold a lemon

So after reading the fine print I found out that damage caused by malfunctioning critical components are included in the warranty. It was bought from a major dealer so rang them and they sent a tow truck to collect the vehicle. When the truck arrived the driver asked what the issue was. I told him the water pump had failed causing the car to over heat and as a result the head gasket appears to have blown.

Can't wait for the phone call tomoz to hear what they have to say.

I'm not going to let them try to weasel out of liability on this one!!!!

No doubt they will try, but not happening I tells ya!

The worst thing is.... I don't trust that just replacing the head gasket makes it all right knowing the engine has cooked itself & reached a temp that causes it to blow a gasket. I'm going to push the fact that something was missed on service day and due to the age of the car it simply must be a poorly made piece of shit.



ed situation when it's supposed to be the "reliable" new family car.

ing dodgy Holden!
I hate the thing any way. Made for midgets and blind spot as big as they can possibly be.

They are the worst cars. Sorry man.

Holden are just shit in general.

Hope it all goes to plan. If not...Fair trading

That's fantastic that you guys found him. Could have been very bad if you didn't

[Zac]

Awww... I used to have holdens... didn't think they were that bad, but yeah, they are pretty plastic and stuff goes wrong with them a lot... not like the Subarus... lol

[Cam.]

Subarus are starting to go that way. The brand new forester has a timing case recall already.

If it's not broken, Don't fix it. I'll miss the EJ engine


Just heading home from work now, So keen for bed.

Been at work since 6am. Staying back to bring the MSR tune fund up to the correct amount.

Keen as!

[Samwise]

I'm with you 100% on that Cam.

Holden junk. Bits falling off the interior all over the shop and gutless as hell to drive.


Can't say "I told you so" to her either. The previous car she bought was a Daewoo Tacuma without me even checking it out first.
It was a 'ing death trap.

Must be the young eyes, but the SRi-V on 18's, lowered and kitted ... pull it off.
But! But! They are shit.
Only Holden I could justify owning is a W427, but I'd rather spend that $100k+ on a Bimmer or something.
