Just wondering if many/any subscribe to Roadside Assist in your state?

Just watching 'pennies', I got a flyer in the mail from Budget Direct with their own offer of...

* flat battery assistance

* emergency key service (which means being locked out by toddler still inside I suppose)

* breakdown towing (although there's probably a distance limit)

* tyre change assistance (serviceman tells short skirt lady to bend over and turn wrench anticlockwise)

* emergency fuel supply

* unlimited technical advice hotline

* minor mechanical roadside repairs

Cost = $65pa in SA, QLD & $69.95pa in TAS, VIC, ACT, NSW, WA

My current premiums are...

NRMA Classic Care = $88.50 on the Subaru

NRMA Premium Care = $154.40 on the Nissan (with no limit on towing distance)

BMW Roadside Assistance & Accident = $116 (with no limit on towing distance)

Hmmm....

The RACV service is pretty darn good for about $100 a year and I think the NRMA one is pretty good too.

About the only issue I ever hear about them is it can take them literally hours to make it to you, but that's to be expected really because they service a lot of people and don't have an unlimited number of resources.

I've used the RACV once when my brothers cars regulator died. Service was great. Tow truck arrived after a couple hours and took me from Werribee to Sunshine with no issues. Didn't cost a cent (it was actually 1.5ks past their free towing limit but the driver said he'd put it in as the limit).

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
