Every major service at Mazda costs that much, the low soot oil alone is somewhere between $50-$80 per service. I guess with modern diesels with emmissions equipment and DPF's/regens it's not as simple as it once was. We priced it at 2 different dealerships and have a friend who works at one of...

A couple of points to remember. A diesel is only more economical if you are travelling over 30,000 kms a year. A diesel will also cost around $400-$600 per service, and as mentioned European Cars (and diesels - European and Japanese) are expensive to repair once out of warranty. I...

Can you now sync thunderbird with an iPhone? When I originally got mine, I investigated and it couldn't be done. Cheers Buddybee

We've had a Compak K3-Touch grinder for about 4 months now - absolutely LOVE it, although the pre-timed grind appears to work backwards - adds time to the grind length, + shortens it (or so my husband tells me) We've teamed ours up with an Expobar Minore 3, so can't comment on your machine...

"Cars" The adult undertones has made that movie a family favourite

Your right - it's going to be expensive unless you know where to source parts from or know what you are doing - being in the Automotive industry for us both of those points are covered. My parents know a guy down your way with almost 100 year old French cars. He needed to replace some...

Impossible is a better term! It doesn't need to be original as such - it can be restored provided it's got the same parts it left the factory in. Parts are easier. What is crazy about this, is that you can still do the mods - they just need to be done here not overseas. The vehicle we...

What a coincidence - we imported a Caddy too. We were going to import another one - highly modified though, but these new laws stopped us in our tracks. Cheers Buddybee

Just make sure you don't dabble in Motor Vehicles unless you know what you're doing. I don't specifically know about jet skis and boats, however the motor vehicle importation laws changed a few months ago and if the vehicle isn't imported EXACTLY the same way it left the factory then it can no...

Friends of ours subdivided their rear yard used Porter Davis for the 3 lots they created. They are looking to use them again in the near future. Cheers Buddybee

I guess it's like everything - someone will have a different opinion. I haven't used them in 3 years, and I still don't have nice things to say about them. After ringing Meticulous to find out why my cleaner didn't arrive (I'd used them for 4 or 5 months) I was told by their office staff...

I saw the Waste Management and 7-11 episodes. For some reason they are not showing the Hooters episode here in Australia (or are showing them out of order). I really like it. Reminds me of Bob Ansett in some ways - always made his executives work behind the counter of a rental car branch...

Very nice - where are the photos? Cheers Buddybee

Reminds me of the days when this technology first came out about 10-15 years ago. I recall the transport company I was working for fitting one of these devices to a prime mover incase the payload got stolen; which eventually it did. Only problem was the tracker was fitted to the truck cab...

We did this. The property we purchased was someones PPOR that became our IP. They wanted to rent back from us for 4 weeks so they had time to reno their new place. They needed settlement funds from us to complete their purchase so they could commence the renos. We had our solicitor draw...
