Thats a very good point...! What if he wiped it out on a speed hump, dropped all his oil and then totally lunched the whole engine...?

Maybe they dropped the sump plug into the bucket. Decided to find something to plug the hole whilst taking the oil pan to find sum plug and the spark plug was the perfect fit.

Taken oil pan to drain to find the sump plug only to see it fall into massive drum of oil. Phone rings a few times, boss is screaming that he needs the host and how long does it take to change oil.

Employee decides to tighten spark plug (correct torque settings of course) and fill oil in attempt to discredit boss.

My theory anyway...

This is shit we have all forgoten things but to fit a spark plug as a sump plug. Even if you droped the plug in the drain tin just pick it up or place another tin under the drips and drain the oil from the tin with the plug in it. This (mechanic) needs to recheck the car and then tell his boss why its back and tell him whagt he did i dont think he will be there long if his nogt gone already. Happy hunting, let them have it i know i would.

Thanks heaps guys for the support :D god knows i need it, coz my little saga gets worse.....

here goes.......

along with fixing my idle problem i had a leaky sump bolt, so they thort they would fix it for me. They thort they would helicoil a new thread in using a particular thread pitch and size 14 by 1.25, this size ONLY, im mean only comes in spark plugs, no compamy makes a bolt in this size it has to be custom made.

so i have to retap it AGAIN to a lagrer size :ermm:

THE EXSUCE - the mechanic who works on my car asked one of coworkers to plug it with something thats fits, and then forgot about it. He says they took his words too literaly to plug it. He was there when the car went out but didnt check it.

all i have to say it PET/GTECH in cambellfeild suck dont go there, im sure there are lots of happy customers but im not one of them.

i dont want to have anything to do with them, no agro no yelling, id rather spend my time with people who give a sh#t about what they do and how they do it, there not worth my time and effort.

they have done some top work for me but this was just down right careless.

if one of my guys even thought of doing that they better pack up their tools and walk before i get to them.

There is no excuse for that, absolutely none.

its people like this that drive the mechanical trade down the shitter and force the good guys to work for f**k all

my partner and i check every single car that leave and make sure everything is 110% no ifs, no buts.

f**k this kind of stuff shits me to no end

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By DanielStone · Posted

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
