Another OutbackArmour kit, another happy customer 🚙

We no longer have a land line ☎️

Unfortunately Telstra 🤮 cannot provide a reliable connection. We have been battling an unreliable phone service for the past 8 years since we opened our doors. Simply not good enough and unacceptable in this day and age, pathetic really 🙄

Best way to contact us is via messanger or my mobile📱

⭐️ Feel free to share this to help get the word out to current and future customers ⭐️

Just another service we can provide for our customers - Oil analysis

I am not a chemist 👨‍🔬 so I don't actually test the oil, I can take a sample and send it off to a laboratory for analysis 🧪

The laboratory can test for many things like fuel dilution, water, carbon, metals. The results of which can determine the life of oil, oxidation the breakdown of the additive pack amongst other conditions. Using the results we can tell if you need to service the vehicle more or less often, or to change to a different brand or viscosity of oil. Everyone has a different driving 🚗 style and driving conditions. These as well as location and engine wear/health 🩺 play a massive part in oil life.

There is too much to cover here so if you want to know more about oil analysis and why it's carried out talk to me when you book your car 🚙 in.

The oil analysis will cost $60 inc GST

I had 2 Mitsubishi Tritons in this week. Both needed a service and the first needed a snokle fitted. Both had the hot side boost pipe fitted poorly or incorrectly. This pipe needs to be removed to change the oil filter. More importantly it needs to be fitted correctly.

It's not a hard game but attention to detail is important. These things will happen though when a workshop focuses on maximizing profits at the expense of quality control.

Or is it just lazy and unprofessional?

Had the pleasure of servicing this little beast during the week.
It's a Porsche 986 Boxster S, mid engine flat 6.
Genuine filter and Mobil 1, exactly how they come from factory and dealership servicing.

A little known fact about me is I worked for a factory Porsche dealership in Sydney for 6 years where I started my automotive apprenticeship.

Umm, I think this air filter is due for a change 🤔
Totally knew about old mates repair on the boost pipe, so that's all fixed up for the customer 👍

🥇 First service for this little Kia

✅️ Genuine parts used
✅️ Outstanding recalls checked
✅️ Free pick up & return
✅️ Another happy customer

🛑 Don't waste your time taking your cars to Bundy or Gladstone to the dealership. Truth is any qualified mechanic can service your new car

The dealership won't tell you this, they are not obligated nor is it in their best interest.
✅️ You can trust that I will supply genuine parts and the highest quality lubricants and fluids available during a log book service

✅️ I alwasy recommend genuine parts with any service but also have a good supply of quality aftermarket filters and parts. That's up to the individual customer as to what they want me to use

💰 A lot of the time genuine filters aren't much more expensive, sometimes cheaper.

A great example of this is with this vehicle. The genuine filter used, cost the customer $15. I can supply a quality aftermarket filter for $19.
Repco have their aftermarket filters between $15-$32.

Genuine wins 🏆 in this case. I know which I would use anyway 😀

Nissan D40 ST-X 550 🛻

This version of the D40 has the A9X V6 turbo diesel. They are renowned for "boost leaks" through the turbo pressure pipe and intercooler causing the vehicle lose power and eventually go into "limp mode" 🛑

You can see the black spot on the intercooler. This is the telltale of the split intercooler. Oil vapors are escaping and leaving an oil stain

Lucky its a pretty simple fix. Time consuming in this case as the bullbar had to be removed for access to the intercooler. No point fitting new gear from Nissan as the problem will only return. The fix is upgraded pipework and high flow intercooler from Plazmaman Racing
Their kit is a direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications required. Their intercooler won't suffer the same fate as the oem due to welded end tanks opposed to the oem pressed on tanks

Everything comes in satin black powder coat and looks a million bucks 🤩

Prado 120 in for injector replacement. Customer was very lucky to have these replaced just in time. These diesel engines are notorious for cracking pistons and oil starvation due to either failed injectors or the injector seat failing.

The job was completed there "right way" as per Toyota's instructions. That is
- brand new Denso injectors (not remanufactured)
- copper injector seats (not brass as some companies supply)
- replaceing injector fuel lines
Believe me when I say most places don't know this or do this.

Genuine parts are the way to go and only new injectors, anything else is a compromise.

A lot more goes into the job but the above is imperative to have right and replaced.

There is a lot of cause and effects with failing injectors or injector seats. Failed seats will cause oil starvation due to carbon blocking the oil pickup. They can cause blow-by as combustion gases pass via the worn injector seat. The engines ECU can detect when a cylinder down on compression and will command the injector to injector more fuel and over a longer duration to overcome the loss of compression. This can cause the injector to wear faster and due to incorrect combustion the risk of cracking pistons is very likely.

There is a lot to follow and understand. I can't educate everyone in such a short post. If you own a 120 or 150 Prado or Hilux of the same vintage get and touch and I can tell you more.

✅️ Denso injectors
✅️ Toyota gaskets & seals
✅️ Map Sensor Filter
✅️ EGR Valve clean
✅️ Suction Control Valve
✅️ Computer coding of injectors

This was not a cheap job, but one that needs to be done around every 7-10 years or 150-200k km. This Prado now has a second lease of life, sounds quiet and has plenty of power.
