  1. Ever watch a car mechanic video and wonder if mood lighting was missing?

  2. Spoke to #mechanic next door earlier about booking in #GolfGTI for a brake fluid change - he has a 2 post lift which is going to be way less hassle than me dealing with axle stands out in the yard, weather is starting to turn, pressure vessel kit and 2 extra axle stands (to raise whole car at once) costs as much as the labour would be and brake fluid is nasty stuff to deal with..

    I asked him if he was having any issues sourcing #EngineOil - he said there was a shortage of 20 litre cubes, and his suppliers were delivering odd amounts in 5 and 1 litre containers.

  3. Mower died. Engine is rekt. Looks like you don't repair small engines these days since a crankshaft alone is *as much as* a full ready-to-run engine assembly

  4. Had to run to the mall last night, took the #Kia.

    On the way there, rear pax brake was dragging.

    Coming back, that one was fine, but front pax brake was dragging.

    Not sure what that might mean ~~ Maybe lines? Maybe ABS module? Coincidentally gummy or failed calipers?

    Guess it needs to go up on the jack when the weather improves :S
