hi guys and ladies~
my leggie is very sick.. and is about to drain all my savings, which is not much.

The major seal (i forgot what they were called) needed to be replaced and CV joint needs to be reconditioned. cactus....

I took it to my mechanics and well, its is gonna cost be about $950 all together.

its sat now. hopefully get it back on monday afternoon.. until then, i have to drive my wife's 1.6L auto matchback. I look so gay....

Hey bro i hope you get your car back soon. But at least you will know that you will never need to do the seals again after this.
I hope they are looking after your car well for you. Remember to get them to change your torque converter seal while they change your rear main seal as well (or vice versa if it's the other way around).

Hey, don't worry about the hatchback. Even though it's for mum's, It's a merc bro :D

Do you miss your car?

every single time i drive, i miss my leggie. the sound, ride, the look (of other people as well). it's my wife's car actually. it hs mtx 12' jvc head unit (not too bad quality) and splits with decent amp so still fbit of fun to drive and turns eye balls since it is probably one of only Merc A160 to have subs in sydney playing hard stuff with "baby on board" sign. (i do not play loud music when my baby is in the car)

By the way,i think it was the main seal or something

I gave my mechanic a good copy of self learning japaness lesson video, beginnig with the word such as "yes~" "Lower!" "its hurting me" and "i am comming". i am sure he will look after my car~

while the car is up there, my mechanic is gonna change lsd oil as well as neccesary oil change for me . I was hoping to check out som wheels this weekend but guess i am stuck with stock bbs's for a while.

the mechanic used to have skyline before and now, he is really considering getting a vr4. probably galant.

It is an auto, so I'm guessing it is the torque converter seal?

My thoughts too..... :confused:

Thats shit Jono, sorry to hear bro. $950 to get that work done is a pretty good price though. It has cost other memebers over $1000 to get the TC seal alone done.

LSD? Does he mean AYC?

Can't wait to see it back on the road mate

The main seal must be the crank seal and the oil looks to dark to be ATF
