Sublet, so another company has done the alignment. Maybe they are charging time for the apprentice to drive the car to the alignment place and check his Facebook while they do the alignment and drive the car back to work?

Oh,wait, just saw the bottom number. $236 for an alignment and wheel balance. something is not right. Should be half that

Looks to me they have removed the wheel from the car, removed the tyre from the wheel, repaired the wheel, painted the wheel, fit the tyre, balanced the tyre.

Probably not, but it’s easy to spray some cleaner on it. Or try starting it with the AFM unplugged. Some cars will start without them. Another thought, crank sensor?

Is your air flow meter covered in K&N oil?

Yes it is ok to seal over the crack. As long as it doesn’t effect the pattern.

Shit, that looks good. Better not get it dirty.

Cool. The booster has a ‘silencer’ or ‘filter’ that is foam around input rod. Chances are when the new pads were put in or the brakes bled and the pedal was pushed all the way down the foam has fallen apart. If the brakes are working as they should,then the booster is sad. If you get a hard pedal or poor stopping performance, the booster is dead. Either way, I would recommend replacing the booster.

Sounds like a sad booster to me.

I wasn’t until you reminded me.

Out, soz.

Usually you can tell if engine oil or coolant is leaking, because it’s wet and not an invisible gas.

They may not even need a resistor.

I think you would use the one in the left or the three on the right , but not all. Factory fitted steering wheel controls (in Toyota at least) Have one output. Each button has a different resistor, so the stereo sees a different voltage for each button and knows what to do.

That reminds me of the time I was doing a WOF on a Land Rover. Did a 30kph hard brake test, pedal went to the floor and Landy kept rolling, handbrake stopped it eventually. A hard brake line burst open length ways.

See you monkeys tonight

Wow, just like old times.

Those guys will make you one with a receiver if that’s what you want.

@Bling try these guys to compare a local price https://www.towbar.co.nz

Sounds like the starter brushes are worn out. Hitting the starter with a hammer shocks it into starting, but you only get a few hits before the brushes are completely done. You can replace just the brushes.

Knock on wood quick or you’ll jinx yourself

Rear seat can be removed and pass a wof

@KKtrips can you pin that stuff in tech articles?
