    Things That Leave you Gobsmacked (In A Good Way)

    Well I am gobsmacked in a good way. After losing over $400 with the Bonza Ponzi, I just got off the phone to Jet Star and wow, got free replacement flights to and from Townsville and all we had to pay was $30 to choose our seats. Have to drive to Brisbane at 3.30am but used to that before Bonza...

    Most people don't understand inflation put simply is Govco printing more money which in turn inflates the economy just like what is going to happen when Qld Gov gives out nearly 3 billion dollars for electricity to people who can actually take it from their electricity account and blow it on...

    Only need look at some public service/politician decisions to understand that has not worked. Not to mention the crime statistics since govco/public service/do gooders decided to spare the rod and spoil the child.

    It's all about importing people. We cannot keep importing people when we have no where for them to live. Govco( insert public service peasnuts) think we need more people cause Australians are having less babies, but they are too dumb to understand Australians have no where to live and/or cannot...

    Yep, pisses me off no end cause these retailers take maybe $2 from 200,000 people and then send off (supposedly) $400,000 to said charity and claim the tax deduction. Meaning they get 30% off $400,000 and it cost them sweetfarkall

    V8 trimatic leaking from breather

    No I believe the fluid runs down from the convertor. Just like your engine the oil level will be higher when cold cause the oil has run down from the rockers etc etc

    V8 trimatic leaking from breather

    Yea when cold and not running the level will be higher cause it drains down when not running. Checking whilst running is fine but probably not as good as when not running straight after turning off.

    V8 trimatic leaking from breather

    Was the new dip stick without a doubt the correct length ?? and you are checking the fluid level withing 20 seconds of turning off the engine ?? and the box/engine is at running temp ?? I wonder if the radiator has died internally and is pressurising the box ?? Of course that should show oil...

    V8 trimatic leaking from breather

    Has it been overfilled. I had an auto gearbox shop overfill a VP years ago and it dropped fluid until it got down to the correct ? level. Of course they stood there, checked the level, and said nothing is wrong. No guesses as to what my reply was. I also remember a problem with a valve on the...

    Because you earned more for that week you were taxed in a higher bracket as if that week is the same all year which it is not, but you will get it back come tax time. I am sure someone has already mentioned this.

    That applies to all dealings with the ATO in that whoever signs actually declares everything is true and correct, and if it is not signed, then it is not accepted, however, accountants have a duty of care.

    All of the above are sensible answers plus I will add the clips/pins holding the brake shoes (inside the rear disk) may have come out and the scraping may be one of those clips laying in the drum and scraping/damaging the drum and/or the shoe/shoes is/are scraping on the drum outer.. So as...

    At #23175 you state the accountant is going to close the company, but you also mention at #23179 you will have to pay capital gains on the house, which means you either have the loan or the house in the company name (or both) I hope not, because that would mean the company owns your house, so...

    You are showing dual fuel in your profile so dual fuel could be a number of things as in the gas valve is shutting off gas but the fuel valve has not opened and so the story goes on. You really need to contact someone who is skilled in gas/dual fuel and get them to go over the car. And of course...

    As per #4 and #12 I spent thousands chasing the same/similar problem and one day got a call from the engine reconditioner saying they had a falcon doing the same thing and they had solved it with genuine mounts, so I changed engine and gearbox mount to genuine and that is when I found the dick...

    FWIW Swimbo has an ASX since new 2015 and no problems but it's only done 53000 in 9 years. Only problem is ASX are looking like a discontinued range, so just like commodore, parts will probably be hard to get in 7 - 8 years. But having said that there are a shirtload of them on the road. ASX are...

    I bow to your inside info and I agree to disagree, but it was well documented during one of the banking inquiries we had to have that some banks were paying staff 40K a year and they were making another 20K through commissions. You have to ask yourself why bank staff would recommend clients...
