that's because it's actually a water pump, you can tell by the impeller.

SLED, Just to clarify.. CTP Insurance is just incase you have an accident and you put someone out of work for the rest of their life. Makes sence, The person needs compensation and you dont want to fork out for the rest of your life to support someone else just over an accident.

that is ownage right there.

what does 'aja aja' mean? speak f*kn english

Jason is a good friend of mine. We worked together aswell.

+1

plus it's good to achieve something and be proud that your qualified to do something.

need a job for that mate, and apprenticeship is perfect...get paid while you learn...just do it you wont regret it.

hahaha good luck finding those drivers you stupid dick....that video in filmed in japan.

zing!

Someone's gotta do it mate, that shit aint gonna get any easier. Every trade no matter what it is is dirty, filthy and physically draining and takes it's toll but f**k someone needs to do it. You speak of all these sensors and complications but the diagnostic tools n information readily avaliable these days pretty much tells you what the problem is. It's all nuts and bolts at the end of the day. Not everyone can sit in a office chair all day and not get grease under their nails and be covered head to toe with dirt, grease, oil etc (not saying that's you). Try working on a $50,000 die and having a tolerance of 3 thousands of a millimetre, or one number wrong amongs about 10 pages of numbers in a CNC program determining whether it's a throw away or not. There are worse jobs out there...I would rather be a mechanic and getting paid $18 an hour than push trolley's around westfield for $20. Money isn't everything but i do agree that mechanics should be paid more than what they are.

but it doesnt get it off the crank. Out of all the timing belts ive done for dudes (about 30) i've never once used one. Can't fit a compressor in the back of a 33. hehe

air ratchet doesn't get rb pulleys off. lol

It's all at work sorry mate.

If you want to stick to the mechanical side of things but are getting detered by the car side of things etc....do what i did and become a Fitter and Turner / Toolmaker. Car's seem very very simple in comparison to some of the work i've done. So many varieties in the trade also, alot of different places you can go where you have more than enough skills to cater for. For example, I got the experience at Adelaide Brighton Cement with Very heavy industrial equipment with hydraulics, rebuilding gearboxes etc..then moved onto Machining as a toolmaker using very very tight tolerances with CNC mills and wire EDW machines doing all the programming on CAD, Edgecam on the computer. Also have done endless amounts of welding, MIG, TIG, ARC, Braising etc. Custom Manufacturing of all sorts of machines etc on a manual Mill and Lathe. Trust me, car's seem very basic in comparison when it's all nuts and bolts. Now i've moved onto supervising all the maintenance at an Earthmoving Company Maintaining all their equipment ranging from company cars to HUGE earthmoving equipment with excellent pay...I dont regret a thing about my trade. When i finished my Apprentiship i moved onto carpentry, plumbing and Roofing but still had my trade to fall back on. Food for Thought. Whatever trade you choose the skills are for life dude....definetly do an apprentiship..good luck.

3k you can have my wheels adrian.

EDIT: i got no idea

SLED, spoke to a good friend of mine tonight who is a tech at toyota, There is a recall on the 200. The vaccumm pump accumulator valve opens far too much causing the motor to burn excessive oil...This can be fixed with a simple flash of the ecm. Toyota do it on warrentee, Also if you get a spungy brake pedal it's because the Diaphram in the master cylinder has a slit in it rather than a hole..hard to explain over the net. But Minor things and will be fixed for free.

I've always been around them but since starting my new job i have gain even more respect for Diesels. I worked on a truck the other day with a torque rating of 2200Nm at 1400RPM and 460HP. The turbo was a foot in diametre lol.

Sorry Pete, didn't read the whole thread but did you get the Turbo Diesel?
