Engine problems - Where to go in Brisbane

So I have a few issues with my 6G72. I'm a little stressed about air bubbles in the radiator and it's losing coolant somewhere. Last time I did the oil there was no water in there and I can't see any oil in the water.

Where can I take it to get these things checked out? I am on the east side around Cannon Hill so somewhere this side of town would be much preferred.

Thanks in advance.

Kris

Hate to be the bearer of bad news Kris but my NJ 6g72 did exactly the same, loss of coolant and no sighn of water in the oil......then all the sudden it showed up. Sounds like a cracked head! Also very common on the 6g72 motors once they get a few klms on them.

I am assuming the worst which is why I am stressing! The really annoying thing is that it only has 180 on the clock. It's just starting to use a bit more coolant than it used to and I am taking it to the Springs 4x4 park at Easter so I want to get it looked at by a pro then see how much the treasurer is willing to extend to me.
