Thread: Guys, meet James

Alrighty, some updates, a week into it and 1700kms logged...

firstly, i think james is hinting i get a snorkel because it appears all the tabs have magically decided to cut free from the middle part of its mounting point... and yes.. not one.. not two... but ALL lol. I was gonna put double sided tape and call it a day but I'd rather get it replaced so that when the time comes that I do want to put a snorkel, it wont be a pain to take off!!

2. I think I'm experiencing the broken a/c bit which causes it to freeze over. so I might as well get that done along with the turbo pipe..

3. sometimes during shifting I hear a very short chatter... is that normal? I was able to reproduce the sound at a standstill... Shift into gear whiel at a stop, go into neutral while the clutch is fully depressed then release the clutch while in neutral. its like a little click of some sort... is that something to worry about or no? I heard some puma's have a transmission problem or something??

and what else should I check/ get replaced etc?


also, yet another silly question, so max height on the 110 is 2021mm which is 2.021 meters... the local coles is 2.1 meters... am i safe to go in? lol

booked in for dual finish wheels, thermostat sensor, turbo pipe and broken block of plate for friday. They only had next monday free but i have to pick my wife up in canberra sunday night so they squeezed me in for friday. thank you dealer!

Great to see more local fenders about there getting pretty popular

if you ever get an orkney gray waving at you.. a super stock one.. that would be me!

Mines an old white tray back mostly spotted around Woden and west belco

cool beans. im in belco every weekday so I'm sure I'll see you around!

Bit ****ed at the dealers today. Told me to have car there at 8am so they could order the parts they needed and havr it by lunch.. Drove interstate the night before, at dealers at 8am. Check on car at 2pm ann it hasnt moved an inch. Said it would be ready by 4:30 so waited the whole time at the lounge. 5pm get told its ready, check on car and they put the dual finish on but forfet to change the spare to the dual finish. 1 wheel stud got cross threaded so im currently driving with 4 nuts on one wheel. And as it turns out thry want me to come back when the parts 'arrive' well wtf was the point in saying come before 8 to get the parts in the same day??? Bloody waste of time now i have to drive another 700kms to get home and back to get this fixed. Ugh

That's not on. Did you tell them how far you have to drive etc??.

Are they planning on having you wait for the thermostat sensor? It's not a small job.. they told me they were confident they could get it done in one day.. but it took two..
