Nice to hear you finally got it

[GTR-N1]

Congratulations on a nice car. So you'll start the insurance on the day you come back from NZ?

[GTR-N1]

Long shot but does anybody have a front O2 sensor to fit a 2004 XT Forester?

Pulse Racing at Menai.

Ask Paul.

So I got to see/drive the car for tonight. Staying at my Aunty and uncles and it's parked out the front.

Fantastic!

Pics Please.

I'm going to get a cover letter today to cover me for the next week. But insurance will be covered even while I'm in NZ incase of theft

Thanks Terry.

I was quoted nearly $500 to have it replaced locally. Can pick one up for about $150 off ebay and it takes 30 min to replace. Not going to pay $500!!

[Manuel Kasko]

Not sure what I have done to deserve this bad luck. But the car won't be coming home this weekend with me.

[dontyellpl0x]

Noo

Why?

[Manuel Kasko]

Bald tires and lock nuts with no key to get them off. Workshop is closed so no chance in getting the key off them.

[dontyellpl0x]

Ah jeez.. That's not much fun

[Manuel Kasko]

Not at all, I'll have to try get it next Thursday night and drive back Friday because I fly to NZ for 3 months on Saturday

If you're desperate Bash a slightly bigger socket and use a breaker bar. They will come off.

Speaking from experience! haha ! Bryce and Rob had to do it with mine. I threw the lock nuts out and got new ones for like $20.

[B-rice]

Plus I got stockies u can use.

[Manuel Kasko]

Tried to do that with the socket but it would have needed a fair wack. Didn't want to get stuck in a situation where I get a socket stuck on there and then need to pay someone in Sydney to fix it. Thanks for the idea though guys.

Hopefully they have the locknut and if they don't then ill try see if any tire shops have one and then last method will be bashing a socket over it.

I might take you up on that offer depending how things turn out next weekend. Thanks Bryce

[Got a Pulsar]

Dude... that sux. Yep, grab those stockies and get that lock key.

I thought all that would be part of compliance. ie. roadworthiness.

Where abouts in Sydney? I can give you a lift Friday morning up there? I leave Canberra at about 3am. If you need to go earlier in the week I can do that too. Can even take the stockies with us?

Pm me if you like

Thanks for the offer mate, just worked out with my parents what we can do if Bryce agrees to it.

Current plan is

-Parents drive to canberra Saturday.

-Wave goodbye to me as I head to NZ.

-Pick up the stock rims and take them to Sydney.

-Put them on the car and then take the car back down to coast to store it for 3 months.

-They pull the rims back of when it gets to the coast and take the stickies back to Bryce in Canberra.

Slightly bigger socket and a rattle gun was able to get my old locknuts off, I never got the socket for for them and never had any issues.
