  1. Hey guys,

    Starting to investigate a "Whine" that comes from the front of my car when cornering. It's never there driving straight.

    What sort of things should I be checking out, or getting more detail on to diagnose?

    In before "Just drive in a straight line all the time problem solved" haha

  2. Is it true that I can wait out the 30 days and then get it checked somewhere else?

    They were done @ pro tinters but by the previous owner (who has now left the country) so no idea who would have done them.

    He was from New Plymouth.

  3. Hey guys,

    Looking for suggestions, my tints have passed their last 3 warrants flicking them through VTNZ...

    Now upon returning to VTNZ for the lastest warrant, the pricks reckon their too dark!

    I don't want to have to remove them, they cool the car down soo much!

  4. Resolution!

    So I must say I'm relieved.

    The guys have replaced the broken, and resolved the popping issue.

    The strut was as Tony said, a piece of rubber missing, replaced that and all is swell!

    So very pleased with their service in the end, they just sucked it up and got it sorted for me. Mag and Turbo Rotorua! Those guys there really do love their jobs a little too much though I think :)

  5. Yeah I was looking at him tightening things through the back window.

    I know the moment when it happened, and the whole time when he was doing it i was thinking "I don't think he should be using a rattle gun for this".

    But I never checked it until after I left, the cap was put back on it too :o so when I took if off and saw that, well, y'know...

  6. So I recently had some different struts put in my car, afterwards I noticed a "popping" type sound in the back.

    Mate checked it out and found the nut on the shaft was loose, so we tightened it, and less of a sound, but still there.

    Took it to a place today, thought they would tighten it some more for me (rattle gun?) unfortunately this didn't fix the issue, and now I have this picture for you (spot the problem) Yes they tried to tighten other things too...

  7. Mate came over today, decided to vaccum inside the car, but it turned into a rip everything carpet up out and an all day job to find rattles and stuff.

    Cleaned etc and put everything back.

    About $2.65 in change, and a bunch of Japanese coins? Also moved the turbo timer from just inside the door to where the ashtray in the car is now, looks alot tidier and much more bond there :)
