    Incompetent mechanic's assistant damaged my vehicle

    Incompetent mechanic's assistant damaged my vehicle

    Thank you RonSwanson for keeping to the topic. Not knowing much about clutches, pressure plates etc., etc. all I can say is that it is a 'bearing' that comes in a kit together with the pressure plate and clutch plate. and maybe it is the 'release bearing'. When I bought the kit and gave it to...

    Incompetent mechanic's assistant damaged my vehicle

    Incompetent mechanic's assistant damaged my vehicle. My TATA van/ truck had an issue in that the gears were engaging as soon as you started the van. My mechanic (Local Durban guy) whose workshop is close to my house, (he is the owner) popped out and underneath the vehicle, adjusted the tension...

    My Nissan Livina vehicle is missing in the performance. When I say missing, I mean a fish bight intermittently. Does this vehicle have spark plugs?

    My Nissan Livina vehicle is missing in the performance. When I say missing, I mean it has a fish bight intermittently. Does this vehicle have spark plugs? This morning battled to start it as it kicked off like as if 2 spark plugs were firing, and each time I had to restart, and then it was as if...

    My TATA truck stuck in first Gear

    Okay guys ... a further observation. I am parked on a slight uphill. I release the handbrake. Remember, the vehicle is stuck in First Gear. It does not roll back.

    Dear The Champ ... to answer your question, yes I did drive it all the way home (3Km) short distance. I will try your trick when my son is able to assist. Thanks for the tip!

    My TATA truck stuck in first Gear

    Good day all. I parked my 1-ton TATA SuperAce truck in front of a circular concrete rim that is a 'garden feature' in this parking lot. The rim of this concrete is about 6 inches high. But the sand bed inside the concrete ring is about say 8 inches deep. Then unfortunately, after shopping I...

    Chevrolet Utility 1.8 Sport A/C vehicle jerks!

    2012 Chevrolet Utility 1.8 Sport A/C vehicle jerks and splutters in first and second gear, as though it is not getting fuel 'smoothly', as though it is getting intermittent fuel. Once you get into 3rd/ 4th and 5th gears all is okay. It is just when you are in first or second gears. Mechanics are...

    I signed a letter of Consent with my neighbour for relaxation of boundary rules

    Hi guys thanks for all your input. Now that you know the background, I need answers on a point-by-point basis. 1) Is creating a large sandbank with truck loads of landfill considered to be "CONSTRUCTION"? 2) If he doesn't move the base of his 'sand-bank' 3 meters away from my fence line, ... can...

    I signed a letter of Consent with my neighbour for relaxation of boundary rules

    Okay thanks but my real question was: Is the creation of a 'bank' considered to be a Construction? If so ... must the base of the 'bank' be 3 meters away from my boundary?

    I signed a letter of Consent with my neighbour for relaxation of boundary rules

    Much to my reluctance, I signed a letter of Consent with my neighbour for a relaxation application, so that the rule for construction of a building, or construction of anything for that matter, adjacent to my boundary can be reduced to 3 meters as opposed to the usual 5 meters. There is a...
