well they are gone now, so no biggie, replaced with some fat brass bastards

enough of a break in the rain to go swap the battery over and change the negative terminal over, starts like a bawse here is a pic of my discarded positive terminal, pretty tasty

So here is my battery check report, Alternator is charging properly, but CCA has dropped, also the positive terminal was heavily corroded so got a couple of new brass terminals and a new 530CCA Repco brand battery with 3 year warranty. didn\'t really have time to go hunting around but this should do the trick, pretty much straight replacement of old battery, so far have only changed the positive terminal, but will get the the negative side if it stops raining so with any luck this is the end of my starting issues and i will get my old starter motor bench tested and hopefully it is sweet and then i have a spare

Cheers bro, im sure ill get to the bottom of it eventually, process of elimination and all that

yeah its just been replaced with another unit in the last couple of weeks, im going to give the poles on the battery a scrub tomorrow and change the terminals to new brass fittings and see if its an electrical connection problem, will also get battery checked to see if it is still working properly first before i fork out for a new one

do ya reckon i should get Karen to give it 20 Faaarken whacks?

i think i\'ll just go with new battery and terminals, especially with winter well on its way, i don\'t want to get stuck out in the cold, or worrying if its going to start $180 for peace of mind isn\'t alot really at the end of the day

haha cheers bro i\'m going to replace the terminals for good measure, they look a bit shit/filthy/corroded/bung, but will also grab a new battery tomorrow and hope for the best Churr

Ok so i had some issues with my starter motor got a second hand one off a member for cheap and had it replaced, all was good for a week, then a couple of nights ago when it was rather cold it started doing the same thing again go to start car and starts cranking and then goes to clicking and will not start being that i\'m parked on a slope i chuck it in gear, roll it forward a little and dump clutch. stop then try again, turns over. this also resets my boost gauge as if power has been disconnected ( it is a multicolour gauge and resets to the first color in the sequence) could this be a battery issue rather than a starter issue? or just the replacement starter also bung? i had a look at my terminals today and the positive side looks to have some green corrosion on it so i am going to go pick up a pair of new terminals tomorrow and give the battery terminals themselves a sanding and scrub with a wire brush to see if cleaning any crap off them will help and also go see if i can get my battery checked to see if it is on its last legs my windows, stereo, lights etc all still work fine my battery is a 500CCA Century job 55D23LMF is the code on it. no idea how old it is, maintenance free etc any thoughts?

Cheers again for the help the other day bro, soo very nice to have my car running properly again! and big ups for finding my boost leak and fixing it Massive Churrrs

Just want to say thanks to F.F.Sltd for sorting my starter motor out today, and finding the reason for my code 66, melted vac hose, must have popped out of its clip and melted on the exhaust back to running just like it should! Fuck yeah! Churr

Yeah I pretty much have no tools, no driveway, and never taken my top mount off so not keen to fuck it up myself, rather let someone else do it.

Anyone in welly free Sunday arvo to put a starter motor in for me, i\'m to inept to do it myself, its going into a twin turbo BD5, box of Stoke Gold beer and some cash your way can come to you Churr

So got up to palmy, threw 66 twice on the way up there and twice on the way back, so it would seem the issue runs deeper than the BOV, not sure where to go from here, BBOD, ECV? ( pressure exchange valve thing) Drivers side Turbo or vac hoses. i might need to get it to Rick for a diagnosis if i can't find someone in central welly to have a look over it for me

Cheers guys i got home after my work meetings and found it pretty quickly, tricky bugger to get to with only some stubby needle nose pliers and screw drivers but managed to eff around enough to get it off & swap it over, cleared stored codes and took it for a boost down happy valley to the 70k zone, got it through VOD and into parallel without throwing anything, here is hoping it is sorted for now! will pick up a couple of spares next time i am out at pick-a-part And here is hoping that has fixed my Code 66 issue and leave me alone for a while longer

ok so, i threw a code 66 the other day, all came back up and running after cycling key on/off am pretty certain it is the secondary BOV ceasing up - and talking with rick confirms this is most likely the case - going up hill at a constant load, loss of vac at approx 3.5k RPM it was dark and i don't have a garage or driveway so its all roadside and couldn't see properly, but after i picked up some dinner, jumped back in the car and it was away laughing again no worries Soooo.... is there an easy was to get to the drivers side BOV with basic tools? i had a quick look and could not see it - OR is there anyone that can give me a hand to swap it over? i have my passengers side one from when i put on my GFB one and was working fine when taken off the car - just limited knowledge and tools!!! basically i need to drive up to palmy after work friday night at about 2am for my grandmothers 80th birthday the next day so need to try swap them out - so ideally don't want to get caught with my pants down in buttfuck nowhere in the wee hours any help is appreciated... and yes i used search to try find a diagram but to no avail

I wonder if they use local Ostrich? I know a guy who has an Ostrich farm up past the windmill in Brooklyn

not unless the bucket seats have seat warmers which i doubt they do and come with the wiring and plugs etc, i have V3 STI seats in my BD5, they are mint, bolt straight in, just have to swap the seatbelt stalks and sensor over, no power in them but small sacrifice really, comfort and how they hold you in your seat, as well as cool factor outweighs any cons IMO

DC SHOES: KEN BLOCK'S GYMKHANA FIVE: ULTIMATE URBAN PLAYGROUND; SAN FRANCISCO Cool as fuck

Just got home from picking it up from Rick, Soo much better, Yay for smooth shifting and actually being able to feel where the clutch is biting!!! WOOT!

yep, get lots of comments on em too! i had to roll the rear guards due to rubbing, not sure if you will get the same issue or not in the foz, also pretty sure these only go up to 17" aswell. but yeah tonne of room back there, will see if i can get a side on view tomorrow when i get the car back

here is the same rim 17x7 on my leggy, not sure what offset is though anywhere on the rim that would tell me?, stock brakes, but you can see there is a tonne of room behind them, test fitment would be best, if you were in welly you could try one of mine, if someone in welly with 4 pots is willing to check i guess we could find out

Dropped it to Rick early this arvo for new Clutch Kit and gear oil change and flywheel skim, has found a front axle retaining pin broken, so he has sorted that, and a Gearbox mount "Chassis trap nut" ( no idea wtf that is) is fucked so is working on that issue at the moment. with any luck will have it back by this time tomorrow ;D Can't wait
