Servicing yourself is easy. Diesel even easier.
What you guys need done?

I have no issues servicing but i cant stamp my own log book. Also the trans is in need of attention.

Port Kennedy will do, it seems rockingham dont have any good mechs.

Lol wookiee.
Sounds like a lemon. I guess could have a quick look. Not a trained eye tho.
Air con is probably gas or compressor.
Oil leaks are something not worth worrying about normally. Unless you want to spend big. If it's the cover I'm thinking , it's Just a $50 gasket.
Fuel cap is usually a pull wire? Probably come off at one end. I'm no expert tho
Headlights could be anything.

Sounds like chilli needs a stamp for warranty?

nah its not a lemon, its a landcruiser! :P
just age has her weary. Aircon is what i assumed, re-gas or compressor. Fuel isnt the wire as ive tightened that with a split shot already. it just doesnt spring out and i cant see what mechanism causes it to flip out.
oil leak ive been told is a cheap part of about $100 but about 30 hours + in labour as the front end has to come out to get to the part. yet other people have told me its a 3 hour job.
i just dont know.

Just a stamp will do.

It seems there are no mechanics that anyone is willing to put there neck out for. I will swap one if you want, my old mechanic in
canningvale is awesome, straight forward, no b.s and actually does what is on the tick n flick sheet. Vehicool.

Hey guys, try j and j automotives in spearwood. I moved to rocko 4 years ago and still take my 4x4 to john. It is a bit further to travel but well worth it. He is very trustworthy and no b.s, I have been with him for over 10 years and he has worked on everything from jet Sprint boats to land rovers, and we all know what pigs land rovers are. :D ( ha, just sold mine)

Cheers smokey, only want the rocko or pt kennedy area cause the wife has 2 boys(6yrs and 2.5yrs) to deal with. We dont know anyone our way to help with the dropping off and retrieving of the car.

Thank you though, and if it has to be that way I will definately call him.
