  1. mint, rigtheo - the hunt for a gearbox begins!
  2. gutted - checked fluid - appears to be enough there, but fluid is a weird colour....browny/pink? and smells kinda like old cooking oil
  3. Hey guys, Just working through issues with my car, have 80% of them sorted so far! but....after fixing all the leaks etc! and cleaning up the mess....i still smell burning after some medium/hard acceleration....today i noticed while playing with the hold button that IF i hold it in 3 and come on full boost the revs slip up like a dodgey clutch in a manual...this is followed quickly by the burning smell. Also seems to slip coming on boost in D when hold is on...(it could be i just dont notice without hold as it kicks down)... What im wondering - would a flush/service sort this out? if not then it's just going to speed up the progress towards a manual i think...but would like to delay it for a little bit as the missus is off work atm Cheers
  4. Armstrong ftw - they did some diagnostic work on a friends car and tracked down issues several other workshops couldnt
  5. haha! thats the dunedin attitude i hate hahahaha "harden up" why? when there are better easier places to be in with more advantages? when i moved there my bad knee used to ache so bad from the cold and my kidneys felt like exploding lol fuck that only place in nz worth that kinda cold is queenstown lol
  6. I have lived in both places - Dunedin i really found that the older people treated the younger people with much less respect than in Christchurch...I'm guessing it has something to do with students etc but it was bloody annoying! esp in work! as because you appeared young you were quickly treated as a junior...even if you happened to be a senior! pay rates are also stink as - cost of housing is similar if not more than chch if you want a place that has a garage and isnt going to freeze... (I only lasted approx 11 months in Dunedin before moving back to Christchurch) Christchurch - friendly people generally, lot more opportunity - better pay rates, better housing, and the climate dominates dunedin. I live in somerfield, always lived around this area somerfield/barrington/lower cashmere - have had 2 cars stolen in the area, 1 even in a garage...any where you go your car isn't safe, get insurance and the best alarm you can afford.
  7. last aves cruise? hahah wow....some people live really sad sad lives
