Hey mate. The windscreen is a definate RWC item.

I don't know if the gas will matter, but the tank would have to be within the stamp date at least. I would suggest you will have similar problems with the tyres.

Sure your a/c works? It could just be excess moisture. I had a similar experience driving up to Coffs Harbour (from Mel). After about 8 hours of driving at about 5am the window fogged up shockingly - had the a/c on at the time pointed at the window. I turned the a/c off for a few minutes, turned it ...

Could be water in the fuel.

There's a sensor at the bottom of the fuel filter - but I don't know what the warning light on the dash for it is.

Good Luck.

To correct a previous poster,

You can get 2-strokes with oil injection rather than having it mixed in with the fuel. However this is rare as the injectors tend to clog up.

I'm not familiar with them sorry, but at a guess you'd need a fair bit of suspension work done. 73,000 is quite low km's. Based on redbooks index of 4k for a car with 150,000km's, I would say 6k is cheap.

I don't rate Kia's in general - but im not sure if you made a typo for 80,000 kms or if it's 180,000 kms. Redbook's prices are based on a certain amount of k's. Generally between 150,000 and 250,000 - depending on the year. If you did mean 80,000k's - then for 6k its a relatively cheap car. Just ...

Sounds stupid, but could just be a bit of moisture. My car will do it for a few minutes when I turn it on. The dew and moisture get into the exhaust overnight and then just blow away in the morning.

Can anyone tell me if the engine mounts between the

rb30/tb42/td42 are the same?

My mate's looking at a cheap gq with a dud tb and can also purchase a cheap rb30 or 25 but is curious on the mounts..

Cheers

p.s - im guessing rb30 from a vl will have the same mounts as a gq?
