Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows of someone reputable in Toowoomba who I would talk to about looking after my 3v V8 in my 2003 ute.
It's just developed a start up rattle at 90k, and after reading around i'm none the wiser on whether it's an issue worthy of worry, little fix, big fix oils/filters etc. No one seems to have a definite fix i can find! any suggestions appreciated ed |

I get the guys at Withcott Mechanical to do all my day to day work. Brett and Sterlo are great and they really take the time to look after you. They did the head gasket on my ute and I am very happy.
