Embarrassment

Drove in to Katherine today to hear from Banjo that his swap of the clutch from Harry to the green on did not solve anything! :o :(

That means they are without a vehicle at the moment and he can't work out why a new clutch won't work.

Let's hope our man gets it sorted tomorrow.

Hey Aus, had to help a guy change his tyre today - he was in a Freelander.

Only trouble was he didn't have the tool to take the locking wheel nut off so I came to the rescue ;) ...




























with a cold chiesel. :D :D :D

180 km off the Stuart Highway and 70km of dirt road from the black stuff you do what it takes. :p

hats blaze been upto, seems forever since I made comment here. Left Albany and now reside in Karrinyup (just north of perth). Now fitting the assesories to mine vehicles, stuff like towbars, trays, bullbars etc. The most common vehicles seems to be lowluxes with the odd holden and nissan thrown in for good measure. Made me cringe for a start boring bloody great holes in ne vehicles but then thought, Ah what the heck they are only bits of plastic with a bit of metal thrown in for good measure but no sole, so now I dont feel bad about hitting a vital organ. Now just gotta read the last 100 plus posts to catch up. Must go and see if harry is still alive
cheers

Yeah it on the road after taking the box out 4 times plus took the box outa Harry for the clutch.The pressure plate was the wrong one.When i first put it in Harry i noticed the fingers that the throw out barring rides on went in to far when it was done up but couldnt do much to proove it as its not going yet, But found out when i put it in the green one.So got the right one with the bush on the fingers so thats was good.
But cant now get a hard pedal it has always been hard & a pain to hold in at traffic lights.I put a brandnew slaves cyl in & a brandnew master cyl, when i put the master in i noticed on the pipe when i undid it the flair had snapped off so had to make a new pipe & YET AGAIN Still no hard pedal & it comes all most all the way out before it grabs where as before it only came out a a little way & no more than halfway..& i have bled them to the piont i have gone through 1 & a half bottle of brake fluid.I even did it out on the driveway so the slave cylinder was on an angle with the bleed nipple at its hieghest i could get it..So now have to replace the clutch in Harry with the flywheel as i took it aswell as its been machined.

AND to top it off even more the brandnew springs we put on it 2 years ago.the front ones are fine but the rear ones to look at are nearly flat or straight with little to no arch so the car looks like its dragging its bum..

So not happy at all & cant do a damn thing with the springs until we save up some $$$$..Plus Karen needs it everyday now for work..


I tell ya what if someone came & offered me a good price i would take it or a good swap..Just about had enough of them both..

Not to sure what to do now..
