Never been to a garage with my Tuck

[Diezel Weazel]

Just wondering how many others have had the same as me ?? I have owned a surf since 2004 and thanks to this forum I have never once had to take it to the garage!!

From what I can remember I have:

Changed all bulbs!!
Fixed rear window motor
Refurbished starter motor
Replaced Truck (head went and was cheaper to buy another and used it as a source of free parts)
Replaced brake callipers and pads
Replaced clutch and Dual mass fly wheel
Replaced rear half shaft
Replaced front half shaft
Lots of other little things as well!!

All only achievable by help from this forum, Cheers Folks

Who else has managed to keep clear of a garage!!??

Nice one Mark.....

So far mine has been to a couple of garages to try and sort the wheel alignment. Neither knew WTF they were doing, I'll be popping back to the last one this arvo to educate them.

Otherwise I try to keep all my cars away from garages, you never know what the buggers have/haven't done. Over the winter the coolant in the Hilux froze due to the 'garage' that changed the rad not putting antifreeze in.
