We are new arrivals in Chch and have seen prior and since the new rules. Chch has a phenomenon called the orange train, it is the flow of cars turning after the lights have changed to orange and red. Since the law change the orange train has grown as right turning traffic has had to queue the entire time the lights have been green. Chch needs more turn flow lights. Sometimes it is quicker to turn left then hang a u turn to go where you need to go.
CS Dad gets pensieve from cupboard, extracts relevant memory from mind, wait !! there is Scoobydoo in the passenger seat playing with his high tech HTC while others are working, the fog clears further and there are seen some connectors around the steering column, it is the black one with one wire in it that is unplugged, the door alarm is suddenly silent. Pensieve goes back into the cupboard.
We went to the local Placemakers store in Paraparaumu on Saturday morning to meet Hayden Paddon. Got to say that I was mightily impressed by Hayden, very easy to talk too.
All the best for the upcoming season, we will be keeping tabs on your progress.
Old strut to be replaced, leaking and failing.
The right tools help.
This replacement one was faulty, the insert had not been seated properly and it was unusable.
Inside the strut with the old grease.
Cleaned and ready to reinsert into strut.
Fitting replacement into car.
Both rear struts were replaced, the ride is far better with a much more solid feel to the back end, drove home with a heavy jack and other weight in the back so it is hard to gauge the changes yet.
Big thanks to Bazza and WorkshopManager for the help and place.
