In desperate need of either a car trailer with a winch, or a tip tow to move my stagea between 4pm and 6pm on wednesday 11th March.

Can anyone help me out?

I refuse to pay $90 for a tip tow or $80 for a hire trailer to move my car less than 4kms!!!!!!

located in Hope Valley

cheers guys!

Nigel.

yeah i thought that all cars from factory had 1 front and 1 rear tow hook??

if its only 4kms mate then it shouldnt be too bad

but peak hour traffic would be harsh as

it does have a towhook, but its well up under the front bumper and i dont feel like removing a bumper just to tow it. I just organised a tip tow for $50, but thanks guys!

true but a car trailer cant be to expensive?

Last time i hired one i beleive it was about $100 clams + the deposit but i could be wrong....

All suburbs towing is located like 3 minutes from here, and ironically on the way to where the car has to go.

they said $55 so i reckon thats alright :(

Shit yes thats a good price i'd be jumping on board with that!

+1 for all suburbs towing

i had my car towed by all suburbs towing for 18kms

and it only cost me $66

where as another company quoted me $127

plus the driver was a champ and took great deal of care in loading and unloading the car

yeah, all suburbs towing are rad. they came out and towed my magna when i killed it in noarlunga in '07, took a great deal of care loading and unloading it, even though it was showing it a shit load of disrespect. from the middle of noarlunga to craigmore only cost 200 clams.

yeah they are very competitive in pricing and their drivers do seem to know what customer service is all about

i have used them plenty of times before and will be using them in the future

i remember when my rear left wheel came off

it took them 2 hours to load and another 2 hours to unlaod

and all while taking great care in nothing scrapes etc

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
