if your driving it how you drove the GQ there your problem

i was on red in my 60 and put $100 of deisel in it and drove to stockton beach and all day on the beach and back home on it

and you can get bigger drill bits that will still fit your drill

new car? ie has the fuel usage changed or was this your first trip and your bummed about consumption?

bad consumption = vehicle not running well. so working on basics. injectors not clean. pump not high enough pressure. engine worn out (any blow by?) mixture wrong.

just a few possibilities

for the striped thread you could try a helicoil - though someone may correct me on this.

basically you drill a bigger hole, tap a new thread, then the coil is like a sleeve which goes into the new thread reducing it back to origional. used one on a head stud once and it was good - other wise just tap a bigger thread and bolt in.

shudder, no idea.

nope drove it quiet light footed, it funny nat i drove it to dandenong to apollo bay and when i got to the camp i drove it around a bit and then home
my house to apllo bay is 292ks thats close to 600 returns plus give or take 1-2oo driving around,
on that trip i spent 120 bucks for 600ks-750-800ks

mansfeild it only 200ks away<188 from melbourne>when i got there i didnt even drive much around in fact i drove less
and she chewed 150 bucks

so about 100L for 400k's?

holy shite!

get it to a specialist. its costing you double what it should.

the only reason i say take it to a mechanic is cause, the extra cost in fuel while you work it out will probably pay for a pro to do it for you with less head aches.

good luck

oh matt that right i for got about that your's was turbo so the fuel would of been turned up turn it down or get some to turn it down and see how you go

yea i forget to say it was turboed untill it broke

I think he means that the turbo broke, and then he removed the turbo and is now running NA.

yes but he did not remove it the previese owner did

Oh right. your probably over fueling to the max, get a dyno done, it will be paid for in just a few 100 k's.

or returbo it

yeah the shaft going throught the turbo snaped in 2 parts,
to be honest it one messed up car taking me ages to fix up
