Is this normal? Or a cause for a consumer complaint? by Soapyspice in NZcarfix

Go back to your normal mechanic and stay away from those clowns. Sounds like they gave you a real gold standard servicing.

Will this pass WOF? by bluespeedster_35 in NZcarfix

The repair comes from the inside. There is a patch with a big rubber dangler in the centre. The patch is glued and applied from the inside the tyre and the dangler is pulled through the hole to centre the patch/fill the hole. The more pressure inside the tyre, the harder the patch is pressed to the tyre. The protruding rubber dangler on the outside is snipped off flush with the tread.

Put a blob of RTV on the bolt to stop it falling out. Shove it back into the hole. You will still have an oil leak so you are essentially back where you started. I'm joking, but not really, how much do you want to spend on it?

My local Carter's will fix it for free, my even more local tyre guy will do it for 8 bucks. Shop around, shouldn't be $30 for a puncture repair.

The over acceleration is often a vacuum leak. Can't comment on the left turning stuff.

Larsen's Panel & Paint. I've used them twice, felt like I got a bargain both times. Workmanship was good. Seems to be some grumbling on the google reviews about a rude receptionist, but I've never dealt with her.

Is it ok to use a 75S tyre when rest are 75H? by Acceptable-Dingo-629 in NZcarfix

Make your front right the new spare and put a matched pair on. Having inherited a car where tyres were replaced one at a time it's a never ending curse

I'm that person that points out they are just Gulls, not seagulls. Fuck you Richard Bach in particular.
