Yeah still there unfortunately....Another 4-5 months and I should be gone though....Start my sparky pre-app on Monday :yes:

Got offered a contract at Schweppes but knocked it back, pre-app is full time so I'll need to be doin a few night shifts for the next 4 months, then hopefully gone forever!

P.S Still dying.

Awesome man! Where are you doing your pre-app? When your done the pre-app and looking for work, let me know I'll see if work will take another apprentice on, but we just took a new apprentice on so it's not promising.

370 degrees/victec..

One of my mates is pretty sure he can hook me up when I'm done so I should be ok, but I'll keep your offer in mind as well :thanks:

I did mine there. Wasn't too bad, yet that was 8 years ago :down: Might have changed a fair bit since then.

What sort of work does your mate do?

Maybe someone in the wastelands will know this.

Before my diff died i realised that the car was driving much slower, as in getting bull boost by 5000Rpm :s felt a lot slower. so question is, if your diff is still working, (as in car moving) can a f**ked diff have a power loss at the wheels?

He's a 3rd year working through 370....he's injured at the moment though so not working

Ahh so you mean you'd work for Victec? (Or whatever they're called now?) lol. I did my apprenticeship with them too, but was kept on the entire time by the same company.

Had to work today too, looks like I'll be doing a 20-odd day stint without a day off :)

    • Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.
    • Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.
    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system
