Before you replace the senders check that the gauge/wiring is ok. All you do is turn on the ignition have someone watch the gauge say oil pressure.

It does stay with the vehicle. The lvv is assigned to the chassis number. I bought a dereg wrx and the cert stayed with it thank goodness. So long as you don't change the configuration you will be mint.

I don't cruelly do them that tight just in case you have to take them out again saves a lot of heart ache! Haha. If you cra...

Haha i think you might choose to do it yourself once you have a quote from them! Grant is a nice guy but he quoted my mate $1000 to make an exhaust from the turbo back on my mates car and that was with a discount! Be interesting to see how much you get quoted.

Thanks for your input bernjean. I have decided that I am going to teach myself paitence an then do my own panel beating. The panel beater didn't even want to know about me after I sent him pictures of the work required. Don't know if that is a common trait with panel beaters. If I was up in Auckland...

Hmm might pop in and see raxworthy sometime. Once I am not couch ridden. I know blackwells are not the best place to go if you want a quality job. I don't mind spending the money cause I only want to do it once.... Technically. But then that may not be the case. Haha

Christchurch panel beaters?? Who's good?

Do any of you fellow members in Christchurch no any quality panel beaters down here ? I am going to make a start on my 240 soon so going to look for a place to send it.

Also do we still want to have a meet up down here? The last attempt didn't really work so shall we try again?
