nothing2do posted a forum topic Are These Items Necessary for a Roadworthy Certificate?
Hi all, a friend of mine brought her car in for a RWC as her plate expired. The RWC passed but she got the car with strange noises when…
I don't say I insisted or needed breakdown of labours but the breakdown (regardless of from dealerships or independents) to me is a great…
I mentioned the independent mechanics/workshops I went to, not sure why you assume they are dealers? This might not be important for you…
I went to independent mechanics/workshops mostly, so rarely capped services. Just normal services and extra if necessary.
Thank you 👍
Thank you. It's good to know that. I think the regulations got circumvented with itemised invoices but still generic. I have better…
So?
Not really, or perhaps I was lucky to come to honest German car workshops/mechanics.

Hi, I'm fairly new to the automotive industry practice and regulations in Australia. Is it a legal requirement for a workshop/mechanic to…

Darn, just read that email. Just started my chopper game with iFakeLocation ;)
Thanks for the info, JimmyF. Yeah, it has full service, just not the details, that's what I meant as "whole history". No complaints though,…

Thanks for the clarification, brendanm.
Yeah, I would just do that then, as the history is unknown.

Thanks, I will just look for the next matching one then.

Maybe you are right ;) Nonetheless, I got a number of unpleasant experience of car breakdown out of the blue, water pump failed during a…

I will note that for 150k. Thanks

It's me again with my Camry MY2013 ASV50R, Engine Code 2AR-FE, odometer at 125000 km. Unfortunately, the previous owner(s) lost all…
I found a post on ToyotaNation and felt myself too silly to replace the bushes due to the cracks. This is the video of a Toyota/Lexus…
^ this. I got this once or twice, falling for cheap prices as baits and $$$ for extra services.

@brendanm thanks. I might be overthinking and as just pretty new to Japanese cars and how they are services.
Thanks, very handy information. I might use it later as of now, I don't have sufficient space and tools for this task. From the mechanic,…
Yeah, I'm kinda lean towards semi-proactive as I got few serious breakdowns and am often travelling with kids. When the mechanic mentioned…
Oh, good to know, thanks. Bookmarked Pedders for next time.

Thanks for the info. The price difference between 5w30 and 5w40 does not seem significant. May I ask what oil brand you prefer/have been…
nothing2do replied to [Deactivated] on Ten Year Old Car with around 130k Odometer, Thicker Oil or Original Spec Viscosity
Thanks for the chart, I recall that when reading about oils for German cars yonks ago. Wouldn't it better to use engine oils, such as 5w40…
nothing2do replied to MS Paint on Ten Year Old Car with around 130k Odometer, Thicker Oil or Original Spec Viscosity
Make sense, and also as SBOB mentioned below, 5w30 seems to cover a large spectrum of car engines, very wise and beneficial, I think.
nothing2do replied to SBOB on Ten Year Old Car with around 130k Odometer, Thicker Oil or Original Spec Viscosity
That's also my thought too, from a workshop's perspective, and it totally makes sense as far as it does not mess up car engines. Kind of…
