Drove from the Gold Coast to Sydney, had the wipers on all the way. At one stage prior to Coffs could only do 70khr in the 110 zone.

Changed my Air con compressor belt. Bloody thing has been noisy and annoying the shizen out of me since crossing the High Country river crossings.
Belt Grip doesnt work...
Just remember to loosen the tensioner center nut before trying to move the tensioner pulley down :evil: :roll:
22mm spanner.

It looks like a contamination at the local BP station. They were really quick to get an investigation started and have already spoken to my insurance company who luckily have approved the claim regardless of the outcome from BP's investigation so regardless the worst I am up for is $500 excess. So far they are talking a $6k bill including new injectors.

Let me know when you're free and I'll see how it works out with me. They're heaps easy to replace though, 22mm spanner for the locking-nut on the pulley, 14mm socket to loosen/tighten the adjuster.
