yeah sump is seeping down near the alternator a bit, and think auto is leaking not 100% sure, no puddles when i park it etc, but brakes are down to their limit, rotors have scratches on them and takes forever to slow down, scared they are starting to warp, and defiantly need a alignment down front right innee tread is gone and have alot of tyre vibration whine noise inside the car.
and have no $$$ to get it fix asap with bills, rent, kids birthdays, food etc

To bad your not closer I have 4 wheels and tyers here you could have to get you out of trouble. They have around 50% tread left on them

Thank guys. 4 wheels, no Rear seats down, basically two in boot and two on rear seats folded down. ok cool, will have one in the spare wheel hole and 2 in boot and one on the rear seat, all kids staying at nans so no biggy. thanks.

ahh sent you a PM
i can help with the brakes , my dad has been working mechanical for over 40 years so he could watch over but he trusts me. Ive done countless EA-EL bearings and rotors etc the secret is getting the correct tightness on the bearing and putting that split pin back in |
