Hey you guys in brissy area, I just met ########## (John)
Very nice bloke and knowledgable especially when it comes to TOYOTAS, especially prados.
Now I'm a vehicle technician, (in vic usualky) but I decided to make a fun day of it and change my injectors and glow plugs while we are staying at my friends in manly west. Roo lives just around the corner he came round and demonstrated his technical skills. Much appreciated!
So if your in brissy area and you are looking for a good job on your vehicle service and repairs ########## may be a go!

Now to get back to enjoying our drinks and watching Anders polishing his car all day
Ohhh after washing it Wednesday, washed it again today, and cleaning windows......



Unbelievable, now he's going to polish the Bullbar!

Anthony will make it now, with those new glow plugs and injectors. LOL.
Thanks for the good times guys. The beer and the food.
Have a good time on Fraser Island, which I know you will.
Mark's a pretty good bloke for having you two in his house.
Love, John.

Hey mate, just amazing the stuff ups when people d.i.y, the previous owner told me he did the glow plugs, well number 2 was not even seated! So I had a lot of carbon build up in the thread and have been running with a small compression leak for a while. Yes I was a lot worried for a while till I managed to get that one out.
Also a very reputable diesel specialists in bayswater Victoria did the injectors at 120k now we found there was no seat for no 3 injector
Thankx for coming and good to meet you, gad you enjoyed it buddy.
Yes Mark is a top bloke!
