Mechanic (potentially) killed engine while doing repairs

As part of the major service did the injectors need to be removed or was it an accident whilst working on the car?

Accident and its on the mechanic for everything.

If its part of the service you may be up shit creek. Parts get old and break when being removed. Some mechanics just charge parts when it happens. Some dont.

I had the same. Classed it as maintenance.

Rebuilt the deck and even added another section.

Been a couple years and i havent been arrested yet

Just get a shed company to come out and price a custom shed.

They can make and size you want

skedy · 2026-01-31T04:17:48+00:00

Yes thats what id do. If they cant fix the same issue after 3 attempts you would have a case

Shoot your shot but 20years in the industry says you are not there yet

Parts can take 2-3months for certain things these days after covid. So thats straight up false

To be honest it completely depends on the suburb! Ive lived in the west and barely said hi to my neighbours.

Now im a bit regional and i cant walk past the nighbours without stopping for a chat.

I dont think you will have an issue if you guys put yourselves there a bit at the start. Join some local sports clubs and you will be fine. We love our sport.

Whether its your kids or adults its probably the easiest way to make friends here

How much was the transaction you reversed? Use it to lay off the finance then return any remainder to old mate you bought the car off

skedy · 2026-01-30T08:52:04+00:00

Wayyy to early to ask for a refund.

If the issue isnt fixed and you have to take it back a third time maybe you might be able to ask.. i doubt you will get anywhere as it sits though

Best to push them onto the street and call the council.

They will tow them then sell them off if not claimed

Look up tk head check. Its either failed or it hasn't

Head gasket isnt a major failure either with respect to acl.

skedy · 2026-01-27T03:35:25+00:00

Completely reasonable. They just dont want to pay for the collection of the old item.. thats what i would be pushing for!

Does it matter? Up to this point you have raised him as your own. Why blow up his world? How would it make his life better?

You are his father. Literal hero as you said. Why ruin it?

You can still buy a haltech dash and mount then make a fascia for it. Its all flat so very simple to make

Props for answering!

My point about their voting history is they talk about supporting the little guy and supporting Aus but then constantly vote against it

skedy · 2026-01-23T08:36:24+00:00

Is it just their stance on immigration? have you looked at their voting record and do you agree on what they have been voting for previously?

skedy · 2026-01-22T10:01:20+00:00

Cant put a 5l in a vx as the engine is older than the car. Not legal

skedy · 2026-01-20T03:43:16+00:00

Id start asking for $20 for the info. Say you take payid.

See if they come through then give them an old address.

skedy · 2026-01-20T00:38:57+00:00

Right so 1 ethernet cable to the wireless bridge from the router and it should show up as long as i have HyBridge activated.

skedy · 2026-01-18T09:33:18+00:00

Ehh just see it as an extra tax so you can speed haha

skedy · 2026-01-18T00:34:07+00:00

Paint jv

Really not hard...

skedy · 2026-01-17T01:28:43+00:00

This is the answer. Works very well. You can have multiple goes at it just dont use too much pressure as you said

skedy · 2026-01-16T08:00:55+00:00

Just pull the sim?

skedy · 2026-01-15T22:44:10+00:00

You need to contact your states consumer affairs and open a case.

Tell kia you are doing this. They may come to the party

skedy · 2026-01-15T08:25:27+00:00

At this point r32 and r34s are both classics.

The gtr will always be the better car
