Default Vic Mechanic for XD Wanted.

G'day all.

This might seem strange but I am interested to know if any mechanic who frequents these forums would be interested in my custom??? Or at the very least can anyone recommend a mechanic. I need some one between the western suburbs and Horsham! Or even Melbourne central.

I have just recently moved back to Victoria and I am after somone to service my car. Mechanics over here don't like old cars! They seem to think it is to old for them to bother with! Two Ford dealers have sent me away and all our local mechanics are either not interested or not capable!

I have an XD Fairmont Wagon with a 302 on LPG. While obviously old, it is well loved and looked after. It is our everyday car and I just want someone to help me keep the bloody thing going!

The old car requires the following:

- A proper gas tune on a dyno,
- A C4 service,
- front end work,
- oil leaks looked at,
- other items, hoses seals etc...

ANYONE INTERESTED?

Regards, Brett.

If you were serious about Horsham -

Boss Muscle Cars.

On about my fourth LPG conversion over the years and the system and tune is miles ahead of anything that I had done before by other mechanics. Initially i had my AU ute done and was so happy with that conversion that I got my GQ Patrol done as well.
