Geez, picked up the parts for Astrid's yesterday..... they did look after me on price too.... very well in fact.
I spent $1,063 on the bits required to sort the noisy lifters.
If this was done in a workshop, by the time you threw labour into the mixing bowl, this would be a $2,800 to $3,000 job.
My random question is, why do the car manufacturers continue to build stuff that is so out of control when repairs are required.
I had a look on a couple of forums yesterday arvo..... quotes as high as $3,500.
More than a few cars, just parked up.... one was a 160,000klm VE commodore sports wagon.
If, like a lot of folks do, you lived week to week on your pay, not many could pluck that sort of coin to do a simple set of lifters.
