So, I'm Having Problems With The Century, Right...

[Super Jamie]

do you want three pedals and first gear donuts into second gear donuts into third gear donuts? yes, you do :jamie:

[TRD ke70]

when was the last time you serviced the transmission???

also thinking there could be a sensor for reverse thats playing up :jamie:

would like to see the car and the codes it's flashing, could be something simple, like a vacumn line off, dirty electrical plug connections.

nicko, no such thing as a manual ecu for the century.. :jamie:

never had the transmission serviced, and i have nfi when it was last done..

if you wanna have a look, when are you available, i am this fri/sat/sun during the day..

 

cheers, matt :unsure:

[TRD ke70]

is your car a manual??? for some reason i thought it was an auto.

can't look at it this weekend as i have to work, painting my workshop floor and moving (hopefully) back in after being out of there for 6 weeks.

you could call into work on saturday and i'll have a quick look!!!

i think you know where i work?

[TRD ke70]

cheers, i wasn't sure after reading the last post.

i that case i would get the trans serviced REAL QUICK.

[Nitephyre]

yeah.. i might come see you one day next week, and i'll ask my mechanic if he knows about autos.. :P

[Nitephyre]

rightio, the saga continueth...

 

i think i've nailed the stalling problem, due to some air leaks after the AFM and a bad spark lead (the cap was all split etc) but...

 

i had to get nice new tyres yesterday.. $440 fit/balanced goodyear ducaro's.. nice enough.. but i'm told "you need new inner tie rods" GREAT

 

so i take it to my mechanic after the tyre fit and ask some q's and since the brake calipers of an MS123 crown worked, we go with the assumption that the tie rods might be similar, he does a quick ring around and finds them.. i take him the car today to work on..

 

what's happened is unfortunately, they were too long, and he tried a couple of other models which varied from longer to shorter.. but here's the pickle on the ice cream...

 

i *might* be able to find some at a place out at acacia ridge who has stacks of different rods, apparently... now, the problem is i need to actually *TAKE* one with me, oops.. i can't drive now..

 

define ironing :thumbsup:

 

I REALLY feel like this

ok, ask me why i have 7 cars.........

[Nitephyre]

hehe, well the GF's commonwhore just got de-registered cause she couldn't afford to keep it.. ran out last week... ah irony

 

I've almost got it sorted now, after going around all over town today, i've got one tie rod rebuilt, gotta do the other one next week sometime, then get an alignment.. then i've got most of this months problems sorted :D

no big loss, commodores are gay. credit card the rego, sell the car and pay the rego off, spend the rest on the real car :D :D

[Nitephyre]

exactly.. only a commodore.. but it's always handy to have two cars.. it's not being registered again dude, it's not roadworthy anymore.. and as below :D

[Joch666]

When you've all finished bagging my car, you can get stuffed. It was given to me so I didn't have to pay for it and it had less kms on the clock, less rust and is closer to being roadworthy than the rustbucket rollavan sitting like a lump in the garage. Least the crummydore starts. Unfortunately it guzzles like a football spectator and costs a fortune to register. Hence the not having money thing. I'd rather have a house to live in..
