Regency needs demolishing - I just got failed with my Cedric because....wait for it....no English owner's manual...

Is it an ADR requirement?

If not Lawyer up, and since you were going to use it as a promational aid for your business on the weekend claim damages as well.

If it is an ADR requirement then half the second hand cars i have bought have been defectable (which i'm sur they would be anyway). I'd also be interedted to know if any of the imports that go through regency would have an english manual, i know my 180 doesn't.

If they start getting claims agains them every time they MAKE UP THEIR OWN RULES then it'll stop, and if it's an open and shut case like i assume this one is it won't cost the car owner as they will win the case.

sigh, had my HID's installed by Ric today, worked awesome, had em on most of the time i was getting around (had to get tyres, wheel alignment, wanky gear knob, stuff to make my car look respectable on sunday), get home mid afternoon, realise id forgotten milk (funny that, never forgotten milk before), jump back out to the car, start it up, pop the headlights on, and bang, only one works.

so i head back to Auto Perfection, get there at about 4:30, just as theyre about to knock off and have another customers car to drop off, Ric checks everything, diagnoses a faulty ballast (swapped the good side to the faulty side and it worked), and spends the next 30 odd minutes undoing the HID install, putting in new halogen globes, and new arctic blue parkers (one of each was blown), and sends me on my way with working headlights.

so yeah, basically, another big +1 to Ric at Auto Perfection.

/shameless plug.

now i just need to send my HID's back to the guy who organised the group buy, and hopefully get a new set...

I had the joys of going to Elizabeth today to get something fixed on my car. I had 3 Facepalm and 1 LOL moments.

The first facepalm came at the Elizabeth Library when some 10 or 11 year olds were using the cumputers behind me. They were looking up porn and clicked on one of those "Get your IQ Now" ads, which they completed. Then a message came up asking them to enter their phone number. Being a good citizen I told them that it was a scam, and they shouldn't enter their numbers because it would wipe their credit off. They replied "Oh, we're not entering our number, we're putting in our mum's". Facepalm.

Then the second facepalm came when I went to the food court for some KFC. Why does every second kid have partially bleached 80s style/Bon Jovi haircuts? Facepalm.

On the way home then I saw a fulli hektik SS Ute with the plates "TOA". My guess was "Tired on Arrival"? LOL Moment.

Then later there was a commodore with flame stickers on the bonnet and side. Facepalm.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
