Hi all,

I seem to remember a thread on this website from a mobile mechanic that came to your house and removed and replaced your turbos for a very reasonable price. Can't recall if it was in the WA section or NSW section though. I've searched the entire website for mobile mechanics, turbo fitting, etc but I can't find it again. I need whip my turbos off and replace them with some others as soon as I can. If anyone can remember the thread and point me to it, or knows a mobile mechanic who does that sort of thing I would really appreciate it if you could let's know.

Regards :D

The problem with what you are proposing is that you are expecting the job to go smoothly and be left with a running car after "x" hours or so work by the machanic.

In reality, the machanic has no way of knowing that the turbos you have are indeed a true "bolt-on" affair and that ALL of the required parts (including gaskets, crush washers etc) are available for him. There is also the possibility that exhaust studs may snap or he may find other issues that should logically be dealt with (eg water or oil connectors leaking) at the same time.

In an ideal world, it would all go smoothly as you hope. In reality there will probably be minor "issues" that crop up that are best (and can be quickly) dealt with in fully equipped workshop.

      Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
