see if you can get a heavy duty clutch installed - and l'm still yet to get a definitive answer about towing in 5th gear. I had to rebuild the clutch in my mazda bravo (thrust bearing gone) l suspect it is the way l ride the clutch while reversing

Yep, it's just a pia to happen now is all. In all it has been a damn good drive. I've had the discs/drums machined once paid for by the dealer as I stood my ground about the advertised towing capacity and the vehicle was only 3 months old.
Since then I've got it clocked up to 118,500km in 3.5yrs and really had no issues until now. the problem with today is that it just went bang, no lead in issues or tell tale signs of any problems. So I expect it will be good for another 100,000 once fixed, fingers crossed it doesn't sot me too much though.
Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
Today Sunday, 11.38am call comes in and l let it go to 101. Then retrieve it.
Hi it's M***** (lady) here I would like my lawns edged and mowed today thank you. Please call me back on this number. "WTF".
Yes I was working at a big regular Commercial job today earning 2days income in one day. But the nerve of some people.
How would you be ringing a Sparky on a Sunday near midday, "Hey mate I want another power point in my bedroom and this afternoon I want it"
Cheers Garry
Whilst on a rant. It s like the Good Friday call I got at 6.30 am wanting lawns mowed by Midday.
Rant over, back to happy mode, but only just.
Cheers Garry
Don't know what the problem is if they want it today and talk like that then it's simple $800 payment up front and it's done

Sometimes it's good to get it off ones chest. I do a very regular nice big house overlooking the golf course. His a business owner of a successful Cleaning Company. We bounce of the same stories some times and he has some rippers to be told.
It's all good, better than managing a large retail store.

love it Gaz.....many of a story over my long journey,,always the sunday call : please come and mow my lawn " and "hey mate got a inspection this afternoon need you to come and do it " or "its not that long i can do it in 20 mins " thats like 3.00 pm and they want done today ....I reckon we could do a Subject " the calls that we laugh at " should be an easy one to get going....best one i have ever had was Christmas morning i failed to catch the number as i thought it was family ringing , anyway this non christian asked if i was working today as he had family over for lunch .. lol i am sure there are many on here that could top those examples....and you promised me that you would do it today ( never heard from before ) oh they say must have been your offsider i was talking to...is a good getting of the chest..after all these years i just laugh and hang up....
Geoff,
You would have some great stories collated over the years, reckon over Happy Hour at the local Tavern you could keep a group of mower men entertained re the stories to be told. .
I've not yet to get a call on Christmas Day and would go Ape Chit if I did. Whoops hang on, can't call it Christmas Day. It's Festive Day now according to Polictally Correct Brigrade.
Well it will be a Happy Day tomorrow with every job on every house doing Selective Lawn Spraying. Have to take the motorised gear as a couple of them are huge joints on a hill side with all those lovely weeds blowing in. Big bucks spraying for little effort, just lots of care required.
Guess the phone will go off from early onwards tomorrow (Monday) resulting in "Thankyou for the call, it's appreciated - but I'm booked out and da no l don't recommend anybody anymore".
Cheers Garry
Christmas day lol ,,..well Big W now have there Christmas trees/lights labelled "Special Events " WTF
can't wait to see how they re-label Easter eggs.....
