Anyone looking for some cash or alcohol?

Post by mz_madz »

Hey guys,

I need my rear bushes changed and as you know - females are hopeless for this (or probably just me) .. I can go to my mechanic but just seeing whether someone wanted to take some time when ever to change them & make some cash or some alcohol.

I'm in Quakers Hill .. so anyone local to me up for it?


Yes, probably will get bagged for this but better keeping it in the club then paying money else where!

just so i can see if my symptom is the same, when u say click, does it sound like a spring snagging on something then unsnagging, making the click noise?

I would have no clue how to change the bushes but I am also in Acacia Gardens and would love to tag along to learn something if you can convince Bennoz to take care of it.

I can have a look at it for sure, problem is finding time. This weekend is out, & next weekend I've got one of those mega bucks parties that starts at 9am on the golf course. Week after Im in Samoa for 2 weeks! :|

Maybe bring it round one even during the week & I can at least diagnose the problem & then get you the parts at the right price :)

It was great to meet you mz_madz ;) and also Dras

And to Ben a BIG thanks for your help with the Battery and even the short shifter :twisted:
I really have to get used to it as all the way home I was putting it in the wrong gear :roll:
5th gear looks like its in nutral :lol:
I was like 8O with how fast Ben changed out the shifters, grabed the short shift out of the car to show Ben and next thing I know it was in the car :twisted:
