So today was the first day my cars temperature went passed half way and almost at the H marker.

Should i be worried?

Cause its sitting in the garage now making gurgling sounds n shit and ive never had a car that heated up that much.

Yes you should be worried. Stock gauge only hits H when something is very wrong. Check your cooling system.

[Rekin]

there has been a bit of this going on for a while already. parts suppliers get ready to close doors, car manufacturers cant complete cars without specific part(s), so they throw enough money at it (making a loss) to keep the production line running until they find a new source for the same/similar parts.

Some of the decline of the Aus car market i think is still due to the slow and pain death of the manufacturing industry, not entirely on price and market domination

Dat awkward feel when your job is in manufacturing industry

Careful Steve, Tony's car is now a write off... Learn from his mistakes before it's too late. Check your coolant and make sure that you've got pressure... Could still be something simple like your radiator cap not holding enough pressure.

[Steve37]

It never hit the H, it went to the notch before when i was stopped. Mate told me to check my water pump =\

Lol don't scare him

My car was a write off for different reasons

have you checked your coolant?

Im going to guess that you need to top up the coolant in your radiator

[Down_Shift]

BOOYEAHH, Just got home from buying a bike. Picking it up on Friday.

remove drain plug and turn car on.... if water is pumped out (as opposed to drained by gravity) your water pump should be fine

you'd be surprised how much of an effect a busted rad cap can have.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

could also be a block/leak anywhere in the system too...

Car had a minor done last week. It was when the car stopped on the freeway ( trafic ) the heat would rise, but once i started rolling (60 km/h+) the needle would drop. the part that concerned me the most was when i got it home and shut it down the water bubbling sounds it was making.

[Sunkist]

Probably an air lock, just get it bled if you had a minor service they rprobably didn't bleed the system properly

[Birds]

Remember what I told ya...

It was just vapour lock...

My car broke down...

[Steve37]

My lawyer friends, and Law student friends, would beg to differ

You're kidding right...just sending the suit back over takes a month or two.

Last time it was about $550 for a full suit + two tailored shirts.

Thats pretty pricy

I'm paying around 400 for mine with 5 shirts, Tailor in HK

last one was from thailand, quality was shit.

but yeah I went from hating suits to loving them jsut from one tailored job.

when something fits perfect you love wearing it,

oh yeah and cufflinks do rock.
