Well they do say the best gift to give is one you would like to receive yourself. :D

You will need the plumber buddy.^

It aint hard Shell - just take up to an hour to do the lot.

$20 bucks max if you DIY.

Richard, I never knew you cared. What does a plumber charge to change an Oh Ring? LOL

Shell, yep it's not difficult as long as you can turn off the water, have a good sized shifter and the correct washers but mixer taps can be tricky.

haha snap... yep the water is the issue. No mixer taps.

Yeah, apartments may not have an easily accessible water switcherofferer. Might be central not individual.

If you rent, I'd be at least be contacting the Landlord if in doubt.

Look for a small panel or door in one of the walls,

Its probly in the laundry, or hidden in a cupboard or wardrobe,

There will be a tap, you may have to look around with a torch inside the wall to find it.

Or if it has an underground carpark they may be on the ceiling down there.

I have most plumbing tools, includung the tap reseater you will want for this job.

Ps spend the extra 5c per washer and get the good ones

And...

Leave the taps open when you turn the water on to flush out the brass shavings,

closing the tap on shavings just puts a groove in the washer and they leak.

Hydroseal is a good lube for them, and you may need to seal the thread again with teflon tape or Lockseal.

Leaking spindles need replacing, they are cheap and its easier than refitting o-rings etc.

dads rule!

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
