    AUDI A7 3.0 litre TDI

    Hi BenzBoy, and yours are perfectly valid observations. I looked at a 2015 4008 Peugeot SUV only just yesterday showing about 150K. kilometers and I reckon the oil hadn't been changed for God only knows how long ......it was that black. In contrast, with my Holden Captiva where the oil is...

    Bundt Wheels made by BBS

    The difference between the two types of Bundt. The first two pics. one and the same are the new chromed ones now on the car, whilst the other is the genuine Mercedes Bundt. Note the much wider band of the first two, very much shaped like 15" units. Unfortunately, they are still 14", but at...

    Bundt Wheels made by BBS

    Personally I think they look great. I guess you didn't see what size they were ? Is the owner a TK member ? As you may be aware, presently Gleaming Beauty is shod with the proper size 14" B. F. Goodrich tyres and I honestly think that there is preciously little difference in ride comfort...

    AUDI A7 3.0 litre TDI

    Patrick, was that the car that you owned during the last eighteen or so months ? If I remember correctly, there was an Audi that appeared on TK at some stage. Speaking of "unreliability", I tend to think that Volkswagens could be included in that category, as well as BMW and the Ford...

    AUDI A7 3.0 litre TDI

    A few months ago, I spotted that very same model, except for being a Quattro Diesel, in a Car Yard at Blacktown. You couldn't help but be impressed by the specifications, that promised fantastic road holding with quattro drive, outstanding economy and a beautiful interior. It was somewhat...

    Winding Road - Internet Magazine.

    I have also located an advertisement which, if nothing else, illustrates the most unusual styling of the Brabus Unimog. It has a six cylinder engine of humongous capacity, a top speed of about 57 miles p/h, six forward (I think) and four reverse gears. It is quite a baby. Regards Styria...

    Winding Road - Internet Magazine.

    Still trying to find a way to post the original Winding Road, Issue 13. In the meantime, you may wish to ignore the previously posted Honda Acura (even though I do quite like it), and I have located just a quick run-down on the Suzuki M109R Boulevard Cruiser. Regards Styria

    Winding Road - Internet Magazine.

    It was in January/February that I came across this Internet Magazine, and it was the 1st issue that really appealed with its quality of coverage and the excellent photos, texts and information they were able to combine in an excellent publication. I stayed with them up to the issue of about 24...

    Car of the week

    Well Michel, my lazy eye did not spot the bird poop on the bonnet. No, it's a trim piece, but I won't tell which one. Regards Styria

    Car of the week

    Having a careful look at the pics., is anyone struck by some curiously misplaced anomaly ? No rewards, just appreciation if you get right what I think is wrong. Regards Styria

    Car of the week

    Yesterday, when raiding the shelves of Repco (everything " most" discounted by 20%), I spotted this car from a distance. My keen eye told me "you must inspect" on account of its quite impressive looks from about 30 metres away. Sure enough, I soon discovered that it was a Bentley and out...

    John would you be able to let me know your prices either by way of reply to your illustrations, or perhaps you may wish to send me a personal message. Regards Styria

    Rear parcel shelf

    Gordon, it is certainly nice to hear from you again. I fully concur with your chagrin concerning rising property prices, rising rents, and the general unaffordability by those on Government Incomes. I have been to Byron Bay when my youngest son "Parks" got married on an outlying reception venue...

    Turbo Boost Valve

    Sean, you got that Irish blood in you - or it Scottish - nay, don't get cranky with me. I will see you tomorrow, nice food, and if you bring the better half, there can also be some great music to listen to, if so desired. The food fare looks great, all of us have been doubly vaccinated, no one...

    The worst struts on a 6.9

    Hi Mark, that sounds a bit more positive. You know I am thinking - I would love you to give me a phone call one day (Mobile 0428 50 1800) and simply tell me what you have got, what your plans are, how far you have progressed etc. etc. so that I no longer have to ask you questions and ask for...

    Camshafts

    Has anyone ever replaced the extra large No. 17 timing chain gauge ? Other than myself, has anyone ever carried out a valve grind and de-coke on a 6.9 litre engine? I have done two, and have also rebuilt at least one 6.3 engine. BTW, they are very different in many aspects. Most publications...

    My Green 420SEL

    Wow, wow - and has it all gone to waste ? I would be very much interested what parts, if any or many, are still gracing the hallowed abode of Mr. Oversize ? Did you ever keep the gearbox, differential and all the other goodies that this car was blessed with. Mark, I am still trying to work out...
