hahaha.. your a funny guy narky!

ever heard of a light bulb?

it looked different under the lights too!! it wasnt pitch black it dried in my house near the heater for a few hours and looked good... then i looked a it this morning and it was way too light.

i know it changes a little... but this is A LOT. crappy thing... it doesnt look too bad tho... i'll get used to it.

yeah i know... but thats what a compressor and a polishing disk are for :D but obviously i wont be able to do all the ***ed up corners and sections of it with the air sander

Al - just spray over the top (after undercoating of course). Mine had a few scratches and things and was looking a bit pov. That is what I did and it sticks as well as to the raw plastic and comes up just as good.

haha.. i don't have a digital camera so I don't have any interior shots. I was trying the chrome on one handle, but it came out more dull silver. To get full "chrome" chrome then i'm not sure how to do it - I haven't seen it.

I thought you could get chrome, or something close to chrome?? I got some paint the other day and re-sprayed the mesh at the front of my car. That was in Auto-B in Chadstone... and there was chrome there, it looks really weird, like you're spraypainting a mirror...

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
