I got nothing. Interesting times ahead.

Well, that was less of a surprise. Wonder who they'll get to replace Vandoorne? Can't see them keeping him around.

Huh. Didn't see that coming. Bet his car gets the reliability issues from Spa onwards.

Formula 1 to launch F1 TV, a live Grand Prix subscription service Heck, even I might sign up for that! Even the premium offering is going to be 1/6th of the cost I currently pay for Satellite just to watch Motorsport. Hrm, F1 + MotoGP vs Foxtel. I'd still be in front some $500/yr even if I had...

So I've seen it recommended frequently. I've done it a few times and the results have been universally good. I'm not questioning the validity, but I wonder about the absolute efficiency. I can understand replacing the fluid in the pan. I can also understand replacing most of the fluid in the...

G'day all, I've been debating asking this for a while as it's more a whimsical question than anything important. I have a nice little 2.5HP slow running belt driven comp with a cast iron pump. It has an hour meter, and it sees 15-30 hours a year at *most*. It lives inside, does not experience...

G'day all, There are lots of handwavingly vague threads on A/T service life, fluid life and how Maxlife is the answer to a maidens prayer and makes all transmissions last forever. This is considerably more specific and comes about because I really don't know the answer and would appreciate some...

G'day all, I'll start from the start. If you get bored, skip to the end. In 1999 I bought a Ryobi 2 stroke line trimmer. I used it regularly until 2003 when I went away for a few years. During that time I had a 2 stroke water cooled bike, so I just ran it on the same silkoline fully synthetic I...

G'day all, I know this is just asking for a flame-fest, but bear with me. I live in Perth, WA. It practically never gets colder than 0C and it's almost always above 10C. Summer gets pretty hot, but not enough to warrant going up to a 40W. The car is naturally aspirated and it lives a pretty...

G'day all, Disclaimer up front : I always use the [censored] cheapest fuel I can buy and just rely on routine maintenance to deal with it. Admittedly our cheapest fuel is streets above the super nasty stuff you get in the US, but it's still lacking in detergents/cleaners. It is however...

G'day all, I do a lot of small motor repair and I run some old British machinery with Oilite bushes and white metal bearings. The recommended lubricants for these are Hydraulic fluids with ISO between 32 & 100 depending on the bearing. The motor bearings are generally recommended to use Royal...

G'day All, I have a 1989 Volvo with an AW70L Tranny (Toyota A43 Equivalent). I've started doing a bit of caravan towing, and the guys over on the Turbobricks forums rave about Mobil 1 ATF for severe service applications. I live in Australia however, and Mobil 1 ATF is $22.30/qt here. I have...

I know there is already a thread going on this stuff, but this is a bit of a different take. I have an old 82 Volvo here. It has about 500,000k on the clock and has never had any major work done. I decided to give it a birthday, so I checked the injectors and found them filthy and certainly not...

G'day all, Long time reader, recent member and first poster. Had no idea where to put this, so here looked like as good a place as any. I'm sure I'll be set on fire if I'm wrong in any case. For those of us living on the underside of the globe, has anyone got some experience with reasonable...
