[SCROUNGER]

[Ridge Runner]

Coooorrr, Walshie, I like em Both, That's the Way to Go Shopping, Thanks for the Lesson.

WTG.

 

[Chewy]

It's all about value for money Walshie. And I'll bet you get your moneys worth of enjoyment out of both the Ranger and the coil. Sounds practical to me.

 

[walshie1000]

Haha Keano, I'm tipping there's nowhere yours won't go .
Cheers ridge runner.
I'm with you chewy, definitely practical given my hobbies. I would have had one years ago however funds didn't allow and I didn't want a flogged one.
Its safe to say I'm quite excited to get out with them both.
I better advertise the bt-50 now, any takers? Haha

 

[Keano]

Hey Chewy, next time your over this way the three of us will have to catch up. It would be great to meet you.

 

[Chewy]

Yeah for sure Keano, that'd be great. I'll let ya's know when I'm heading back that way. Funds are a bit unforgiving at the moment, but hopefully I'll be back quicker than I thought I might be. Bought a coil pack for the exploder today, 1st place I went to wanted $134, went next door and they wanted $90, dropped in at a small local parts place on the way home and got 1 for $36. I think thats the cause of the misfire on number2 cyl.

 

[walshie1000]

Good stuff mr Chewbacca. Will be good to catch up again. Sounds like that exploder might be sorted, and cheaply to which is always good.

 

[Keano]

Gotta love an outcome like that mate. Thieving bastards!

 

[TheSilentBugler]

X-Pointer.

 

[Chewy]

Yep, $72 to check the codes on the chrysler about 300 bucks to fix a loose wire in the loom, b4 that another place said it was the crank angle sensor so they replaced that, 4 new tyre on the commodore, added up to about 1300 bucks in car repairs, still paying it off but we're a bit ahead of where I thought we would be at this point. I spent 145 bucks on the scan tool, so use it twice and its paid for itself. I could see getting the Ford fixed at the dealership would cost at least 5 hunjy. I'll keep ya posted if I fix it. A mechanic I am not.

I know how you feel, I had the same Issue with a Land Rover freelander, It had been fully looked after money no object so I bought it, Then it started playing up I took it to LR and the wanted $230 per hour to have a look, They sold me a shed load of parts, Seeing as I trained as A Mechanic In OZ before all these Computer Boxes were in cars, Anyway I told them it had A Bent Valve, They would not have it, $1800 still not working, I bought one of them Code reader gizmos and it said multi cylinder misfire- Low Fuel, So I Replaced the fuel filter twice and the massive fuel pump that goes in the Tank, and the fuel injection system and the coil packs etc etc,

I had had enough of them and gave it a compression test, Guess what, BENT VALVE in number Three Cylinder. So I just called the wreckers to come and get it.

RR.

 

[walshie1000]

Talk about rough luck ridge runner. Another story to remind me why I don't take my car to mechanics. Seems like a large number of them are incompetent unfortunately.
I certainly hope your issue is just a quick fix chewy. The GT is missing ya mate

 

[TheSilentBugler]

Today I'm buying day surgery for the missus, get her back in the pink.

Gonna hit the pocket a bit, bet she's worth it.

Mostly.

That's amazing, there have been doggie prints on the seat lately------but no nuggetts in there cause they are flushed away.

 

[TheSilentBugler]
