don't really think you would need to pay for advice..just ask the questions here or use the search function..most questions has been covered before already..anyway good luck with finding your car :)

if you want someone to have a look with you your best bet is to find a couple of cars you like and see where they are then let us know on here to see if someone is close to it so we dont have to go far out of the way to help you, i am happy to help i live 5 minutes from the city so anywhere around here send me a PM.

hey mate i could come with if needed...

as i bought my car with a few problems and knowing them and also ran into a lot of problems, it's not hard to tell if the car is a lemon to >_<

also might be worth getting an RAC check as well on the car.. mine was fairly helpful :down:

Like Rhys said a good old RAC check is always a decent idea.

And if it is a private sale and the owner doesn't mind alot of workshops will check the car out for a fee if the car is brought to them.

Thanks for the response and help guys, current mechanics are more than welcomed lol. There's a lot of hate towards the RAC checks saying that if they were only good for normal cars like the getz. Anyway, PMs sent to you 2 who offered! hopefully we can work something out.

Apparently i can't send more than 1 PM. Phil i see you live south of the river which is also where the car is at. Also, i can give you a lift there and back too. My number is 0433337256, call or text me if you're up for it.

Btw, i did a REVS check on the car, it said:

This vehicle or vessel is not recorded on REVS. It does NOT have money owing on it.

now is that a good thing or a bad thing to not be recorded on REVS?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
