Thread: Mechanical help/know how - South east Perth

mate, thats all DIY stuff,

kick into it, one job at a time, one weekend at a time, by the end of the year you'll be doing all your own service work and saving a fotrtune.

Yeah, I know it's all DIY stuff, but I was diagnosed in Feb with a lower back issue, so have been off work due to not being able to bend, lift, etc.
I was stubborn and removed, rebuilt and refitted my steering box, and that was the last straw unfortunately.
I'd love to do it myself, I know how to, and I'd love to save money, but I just can't justify being bed ridden for a week afterwards.
Main ones are water pump and flush, and gearbox service.
I can leave diffs and brakes for now if need be.

Thanks though, I know you were only trying to give me ideas to save money/time and it's appreciated.

Cheers, Evo

I'm happy to provide the grunt if you or others can bring the expertise - then I can learn too!

Give Dave a call cannot praise him enough.

Could be an idea with legs... as long as the 'Supervisor' can sit on his hands...and patiently instruct his apes, using single syllable words...

Put a video camera underneath displaying to a laptop etc above ground so no bending etc....sit in the lounge chair and watch the fun...

No doubt, - but is he still working as a Visiting Mechanic ?

- Found it difficult to get hold of him on the phone/return calls earlier this year, thought he'd gone to the Dark Side (Employee...)

He did my D2 service 2 days ago I had no problem with calling him; He's assisting me on Monday with my 4" lift kit. and installing the CDL gears as mine is empty I'll let him know you were trying to reach him Cheers Joe
