I refer to a broader "you" than "you" because "you" obviously don't,

>doing it by holding the clutch in to "save petrol" Why would you hold the clutch in if you are in neutral? You may as well just leave it…

coasting in Nuetral. I don't agree with it but how would that cause premature wear on the thrust bearing?

That's really odd. All 3 of my watercooled VWs have got the claimed (or better) fuel economy. It's one of the things that VW hasn't told…

That's him. I've told them to bump up his hourly rate to take the pressure off or have a higher rate with a loyalty discount for the long…

If you are starting a new business and are serious about it being a business rather than a potential side hustle tax lurk then get yourself…

What's your point? It's Sunday so no mechanic will be open. I know a great Pajero Mechanic but he's in Sydney and booked out 3 months ahead.

I'm semi-retired. I do occasional casual work but most of my income is from dividends and an account based pension. I claim a small…

Most ETFs announce in June & pay July. August & Feb are very sad in terms of payments. Either way, the distribution payment date is…

The WHS Manager in the engineering arm of a large Australian Airline decided to have a charcoal BBQ in his garage and use metho to get it…

It will dry them but you don't get the sunshine that helps "clean" the fabric

I can drive 10km and the chalk is still visible on my tyre. Has happened multiple times as I live in a 1hr zone and they mark tyres first…

The cabinets look knackered. Stone benchtops will be like lipstick on a pig

I put Grenlander on the kid's Honda. Significantly better than the Toyos it had before. Wore a bit quick but not excessively so. I've…

I've only used the Brass Monkey 3 (??) times and they've all been weekend camps where I pre-cooled and ran it off the car 12v outlet prior…

Insurance is for when you can't afford a large hit on your capital. I think $240 on $3k is reasonable, especially if it's a $6k payout. We…

Best on the rear no matter the drive type. So says Pirelli, Goodyear, Michelin, etc.

At Redfern Station they have open gates with the sign "Community Access". I would have thought with Sydney Trains "simplified…

Banks only withhold tax if you haven't supplied a TFN. I have years of bank statements to prove this.

I was a Toyota mechanic during the SV21 era an I say diagnose, find the issue, make a plan

I had a 26ah power station and it would only last 3 hours with the fridge on "eco". Then you have to recharge it which can take quite a few…

It depends on the ambient temperature and the interior temperature of the vehicle. I had a dual zone OzTrail for my half lap and it worked…

diagnose, find the issue, make a plan. Speculation based on almost no information from you is a waste of time

Do either have your size available? The range is really small and there's no crosser size between the 2 tread patterns. If you have a…

Every dipstick is different. It can be anywhere from 0.5l to 1l between the marks. I've never known any light vehicle dipstick to be "half…

As a long term VW owner, I'll say that what VW thinks is acceptable is just VWs way of avoiding warranty claims. My 2.0 litre Mk3 didn't…
