2 files, you'll need winRAR to stitch them back together... If you don't have winRAR, you can download an evaluation copy, it never expires but you get asked if you want to know how to buy it each time you open it - click "close" and continue on your way...

So now you all have 2 sources and as a footnote, previously mentioned in the other thread, you need Windows XP or earlier to run this manual - alternately, if you are a nerd, you can run virtual pc and have XP on a partition in order to view it...

Feel free to spread the love, there are no bandwidth limits...

Just tested the link, still working...

A new suction control valve is on order though as mine has the older style fitted.

I was quoted 3 days to get the suction control valve from Sydney. They were going to ring me when it came in to organise a time to replace it. Two weeks later, I have to give them a ring. You guessed it. "Arrived today". I find it amazing that my ESP is so in tune with their parts deliveries. Anyway, part was fitted and they re-flashed the ECU as well with the "latest" software. Mileage has improved slightly since the service. It's now down to 10.1lts/100. I think that's reasonable for my setup and considering it's mostly town use. Injector noise hasn't improved at all. Still quite pronounced at 100km/h.

Apparently the 30K service for the petrol comes free with new pistons

Need to get my 30k done in a few weeks. Called the dealer - $845. Called my usual mechanic - $645.

Anyone have any better prices for around the western Sydney area (i.e. Penrith)?

[Eelesy]

sounds like ur gettin ripped off mate.

[apoll]

Just called Ultra Tune - they'll do it for $290 so I've booked them in.

Anyone had any problems with them?

I got a quote for the 30k service at 5pm tuesday -$660, thought it was a bit rough but booked the car in for today.

Rocked up at 8:30 (day off ) and was told i should have had the car there on tuesday, they can't do it today.

This was after the same thing happening last time i booked it in and repeatedly trying to get the cash they owe me for charging me for parts in a warranty fix.

After some prompting - i blew up deluxe at the dealer principal with the usual - bought two tritons here, always serviced here........ yada yada

Anyway ended up with service done there and then, with a triton 4x4 single cab for the day, full detail and paid $489

Got quoted $420 for the 30k service to my 3.2.
Dropped it off, ready to go 5hrs later, all good.
Went to pay for it and the dealer told me $780.
So I said you better go get the service manager cause I am not paying it. Service manager comes out and I point to the guy that gave me the quote and said "take it up with him.I just dont have $780 to spend on a service."
He said "well that was valve clearances too" I said" I dont care, you quoted me $420 and that is what I am paying. You never rang me to tell me you were going to double the price. So I suggest you go figure it out." Meanwhile about 3 other customers and standing ,listening.
Eventually the service manager comes back and says "the best we can do is $490."
So I looked at the invoice, and noted $190 for oil. Is that right or what?
Anyways I paid up and have not been back there.

Roughly doubled on what they usually rip you off.

[Homer]

Bet they replaced your wiper blades too

[Greedy]

And washed the windscreen. That extra $4.31 is critical to a profit margin.

What dealershit was this Jon?

[boycee]

mitsi quoted 670 profix have quoted 300

[boycee]

Took the car to profix for the 30k service this morning and read the service manual.
Mitsi want to charge $670 for the service and all that they do is replace the oil,filter,fuel fiter, and check valve clearances amongst other parts.
So going on there $670 for what they say is 4 hours work. take out a few dollars for bits and pieces say $70.
They charge an hourly rate of $150.p/h. Wish I could make that kind of money.

[steve tas]

30k is'nt a 'major' service is it? I thought every 45k was the expensive one?

[boycee]

Mitsi will tell you it is major. and they charge like it is major.

[Greedy]

Did you shop around Boycee? I got mine for $430 in the end.

[boycee]

nice one greedy. I didn't bother shopping around between the dealers as I reckon the one who sold you the car should look after you. plus profix is closer and cheaper.

[Greedy]

I only went dealer this time to check out the manifold situation..............Alright, and so I could have a whinge on here about the price.

[Greedy]

Yeah, good luck with that.

Just picked the car up. running beautifully and all done. total cost $380.00 it is amazing how one 20c phone call can save you $300.

A Cardiff (Newcastle) Stealership that will remain nameless. Genuine dealer though...
