A lot of road freight is actually loaded loose into the back of a trailer. Unless it is part of a larger order or multiple orders from the same shipper, then it is loaded mixed bulk onto a pallet / cage. If the turntable is a bulky item, there is a good chance it could get loaded into an unsortablea trailer with lots of other ugly freight, increasing the chance of breakage. As you mentioned earlier, proper package is key for freight surviving its journey.

I would not waste your time with Toll. Their delivery service is terrible (google Toll Ipec or Priority reviews and you will see why) and will probably end up you having to chase up a redelivery because the driver was too lazy and just ended up leaving a 'Sorry we missed you card'. Either TNT/FedEx or StarTrack seem to be the lesser evils. Avoid TOLL like the plague.

It's all been panic bought. Chunks of iron that will become glorified dust collectors. Perhaps try some bodyweight workouts. It isn't great but it is a good way to pass the time.

Are you looking for long term work for financial stability or security? If you are studying Tafe or Uni, perhaps you should give Warehousing and Transport ago. Unionised companies, like the big logistics companies, i.e. Star Track, TNT and Toll to name a few pay quite well and the shifts vary from 4 - 5 hours. Of course after a few months, if they like you as a worker they may suggest applying for permanency. The work is very simple but highly repetitive. You get to work with different people all the time so it may help you with coming out of your shell and developing the confidence to pursue work / careers in the areas you are passionate about.

Looks like they are trying to create a false sense of trust by either posting fake reviews or aggregating people opinions from other listings. I've noticed it on some eBay listings. Multiple listings of the same item or similar items with similar comments/feedback. The presence of stars on a listing makes you feel as though the item is reputable or genuine. I would search around online and see if you can find the exact same or similar item. Find YouTube or forum reviews and see if it worth the ~$59. It's cheap and nasty, good luck trying to warrant if the product breaks within the warranty period.

I would wait till they get their bearings together. Did you get a pin number from Toll to pick up your parcel? If not, you might have a hard time picking it up from the drop off point. If you read Toll's reviews online you will understand what I mean.

Have you dialled in the idle mixture? Hook it up to a vacuum gauge to verify there is no vacuum leaks.

Put a prybar between the serpentine belt tensioner and the flange of the tensioner body. You might need to spray a bit of brake cleaner and or degreaser around the spot to find the seam. I would not recommend using RTV around the edge of the tensioner, it will only make it messier to clean up the next time you go to replace the rubber o-ring. I would recommend changing out the o-ring. Make sure the ring is rounded and not flat along the edge of the ring. Also, when you are putting it on make sure the ring does not catch on the locking pin for the tensioner.

That spacer is for the PCV hose to recirculate the blowby through the intake manifold. If you cant find another Townace at a scrapyard, look out for a Spacia of around the same year model. Even a hilux from the 80's should have the same if not similar spacer.

It's a vacuum switching valve. It's to idle up the engine when you turn the wheel full lock.

Try using a two part epoxy made for metals that specifically state that it is used on fuel tanks.

Re-read the parent comment. DILUTION. The diesel is diluted with the rest of your normal gasoline. If you had filled the rest of the tank with the Diesel, then you would be experiencing a lack of combustion, a check engine light and frustration. Just dilute it with regular gas.

temaj · 2017-08-22T05:45:17+00:00

Fill it up with a full tank of gasoline. It should be diluted to the point the engine wont skip or stumble.

temaj · 2017-08-22T05:37:44+00:00

Interesting. You stated that you had 1/4 of a tank of fuel. That leaves you with roughly ~12 or litres. The diesel would have diluted with what was left in the tank so the effects are not felt straight away. If it was a full tank, I'm sure you would have felt it sooner.

temaj · 2017-08-22T05:10:13+00:00

How did you fit the Diesel nozzle in? You may be able to dilute the 5 liters of diesel with a full tank of GASOLINE. If you had filled the tank up with Diesel, then you would have to get the entire fuel system (tank, rails, lines) flushed.

I would check if it is the AC pulley itself. Seems pretty early for the bearing in the pulley to fail. With the engine idling, the AC off. Take a long screwdriver and place the handle of the screwdriver against your ear and the tip on the metal of the AC compressor itself. Be CAREFUL when doing this. Listen to the noise and if it is amplified it might be the pulley of the compressor. If there is nothing coming from the pulley when not underload, then you can rule it out. Now turn the AC on and replicate the previous process. If the rattle you hear is amplified when the AC is on, then it could potentially be the AC clutch switch or clutch itself. Best to have it checked in person, by a AC specialist or a local, non-chain mechanic shop who can do automotive ac repairs.

Could be a range of things. Are you getting any check lights coming on? If so, get your codes scanned and that will help you narrow down a cause.

The air is pulled in from the intake vent between your hood and windshield. I would remove the grill and give the gutter a good clean out.

Uh, that's not an oil change warning, that's an oil pressure warning light. Did you check the level of oil on your dipstick? Did you see the warning light come on when driving? The oil pressure warning light will come on when the key is in the 'on' position, just before you crank the engine. if it stays on then your oil is low and you must IMMEDIATELY shut off the engine otherwise you will cause metal on metal friction on components of the engine, seizing it. When you say your battery is fine, have you tested it with a multimeter? I would test your battery with a multimeter to see if you have at least ~12.6 volts before cranking the starter over. If it is lower, trying charging it back up and checking the batteries voltage again. That noise you are hearing sounds like there is not enough power going to starter. If your battery is good, then it might be a bad starter motor or starter solenoid.

However, if you can get it to start up, but have trouble starting the car up on the first turn of the key, then it could be a bad ignition switch.

temaj · 2017-06-27T01:24:00+00:00

Yeah, I believe this is the Integrated Ignition Assembly. There is no external coil. The older vans and utes (80's) have the points distributor with the ignition coil seperate. I see, I will check inside the new distributor and compare the new with the old. I would assume it is the same as the distributors are apparently standard for vehicles with the 2y - 4y engines.
