just incase anyone doesn't know about Charmaine's car, here it is:

THE LASER:

I absolutely love my car. It’s a 1991 Ford Laser Ghia. I bought it with 17” chrome rims and it was lowered. I was like “Sick! A pimped car!” But after closer inspection I discovered the car was lowered illegally as the springs were cut. So not too long ago, with help of a good mate, we put in new lowered springs, suspension & rear brake pads. Still need to replace the front pads. The car was all good and well now but I couldn’t drive around without some sick cranking tunes. So the next step was to upgrade the soundsystem. This I can also thank my good mate for, as he was an absolute gun for helping me install all of it. A few hundred dollars later ;) my soundsystem consists of a Pioneer sub, Kenwood 6” splits, Pioneer 6x9”s, Boss 4 channel amp & Boss mono block amp and a sexy Alpine headunit. Doof doof much?? The interior and engine could do with a bit of work I suppose, but hey, it’s only my first car and it gets me to where I need to go. I’m not sure spending copious amounts of money on my first car would be the best idea because eventually I will have something better. Either that or the fad will end. But somehow I don’t think it will. I’m keen at the moment for a new exhaust, cannon + extractors. I love driving. I feel happy when i drive, the feeling of just being able to get away from everything. Like an escape. Especially with the music cranked loud XD

Yeah. My car is the sex.

    • 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
