Well not today but last break i got some new shoes for everyday driving, set of 245/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler AT Adventures. So much more comfortable to drive with compared to my 265/75/16 MTs! The stopping distance and wet weather handling is what i'm most impressed with! plus the speedo is now dead on with my gps. They come with a 85,000kms warranty as well, as long as i take it back to them from a wheel alignment every 10,000kms, already did that any way!
Also gave the starter motor a birthday, gave it a good bath in degreaser, lectra-clean and contact cleaner. Baked it in the oven and then soldered on new brushes. Gave the commutator a good wet and dry sand and put the whole lot back together. Starts the ute like i've never experienced before!

Thanks mate i an about to order it,don't forget about that double island run we spoke about
Haven't heard of anyone servicing a starter motor, how bout a write up for us?
Yeah probably because its easier to buy a new one. My Vs stato when a 8 months back got stuck open so at the mechanics instead if charging me for a new one they just pulled the whole thing apart lubed it up and put it back together. Been great never had a problem with it
I dont the same at some point to my air box, wonder where i can get a new one?? nothing worse then dropping a bolt or nut or clip down the engine bay to never be seen again.

Cheapest ebay one i could find was $300 for a china one and a Hitachi one was like $800! To overhaul it, it cost me like $40 for 2 bearings and 4 brushes plus a couple of hours of my time!
well worth it i reckon!
Yeah Fully agree, still easier to buy a new one. But done right the recon one is just as good as a new. Mine was just scrubed cleaned and relubed 8month on still works like new.
