Fair to assume this cabin filter has been in there a minute. If you have a strange odour or noise when your blower fan for your A/C is running, this may be your issue.

2010 Hyundai iMax H1 2.4lt with just under 200,000km on the odometer in today to renew the rocker cover gasket.

We have been servicing this vehicle for a little over 100,000km now using Penrite oils as we do with all our customers vehicles, just look how clean the top end is. No sludge build up, no dark yellow staining or evidence of premature or excessive wear.

Keep your engine running smooth & clean with Australian made & owned Penrite oils.

2007 Toyota Hilux N70
Customer supplied their own starter motor, assuming that would solve the crank no start issue.

It came down to a broken power supply wire and improper installation. Dodgy wiring “repairs” and having not secured the starter motor to the bell housing due to breaking one stud off in the bell housing and the other in the starter housing 🤦‍♂️ the starter was essentially just hanging there.
Bent brake lines, missing bolts and seriously questionable electrical “repairs”.

If you’re unsure or have little to no experience in doing what’s required to your vehicle, please either get some proper training or take it to a qualified professional to ensure the longevity of your vehicle and the safety of other road users and yourself.

3.2lt P5AT Mazda BT50.
Needless to say this vehicle was delivered via tow truck with a crank no start condition. Very recently had a “full service” spending $1000+ with another mechanic in QLD.
This fuel filter is still Mazda OEM, and has completely failed and blocked due to never being changed for the passed 170,000km.
The filter housing and fuel sample taken show major contamination from water and other particulates.
Ensure your vehicle is getting the maintenance it needs when it needs it to avoid inconvenience and costly repairs down the line.
