I noticed today 3/4 of the way through a drive to Hawthorn from Maribyrnong that my car was shuddering at 60km/h and reluctant to pick up speed. After i did break 60km/h, it did it at 80km/h as well! Shuddering was felt through the whole car (passengers mentioned it) and the vehicle didn't sound...

Just wondering how many people are using Kumho tyres and what your thoughts and experiencs on them are. I just got a set (4) of KU37 Ecsta XT's and they defiantly feel good so far. These specific tyres are apparently really good for straight line driving (e.g. freeway) which is most of my...

OK, so i grabbed a genuine replacement mast for my VY commodore. Due to there being 3 different types of aerials the guy had to check the VIN of the vehicl to match it up with a mast. That was all good, and i spent 2 or 3 hours removing the old mast (it was really difficult in mine). While...
