The Mitsubishi Mivec engine is the only good thing the Great Walls have as a component.

Our local dealer will only repair GW's that they have sold, as lots of people bought them in perth then they broke down up here.
there is a special holding yard with a 10'fence for vehicles awaiting parts, full of white utes

I know there are probably teething problems, but i remember not so long ago no-one would touch hyundai cars. And yes, people said the gearboxes were ****, but they fixed them within a few models.

I was in the Navy and worked in shipyards, to get mesothelioma you had to be a smoker first off then you had to work for years in air that was thick with the particles, down in the holds of ships, 8 hours a day with the air so thick you couldn't see across the room. These are the one's who became sick.
Of course there will be statistical aberrations sadly like Cassa's father.
TBS, who the hell would buy a Chines vehicle? Obviously complete junk made by slaves.



Your comments are untrue, being a smoker is not a pre-requosit to contracting mesothelioma , please take note, this shi. KILLS

Doggie / sn: Isn't it illegal to remove it yourself and you have to use a 'proper' asbestos removal contractor? (Or maybe that is just a thing for Govt buildings?)


I make a point of going through the Balcatta recycling depot regularly
(checking for windsurfing sails and masts for Chook and Paul)
The balcatta depot have scheduled days where ratepayers can drop thier wrapped up asbestos for safe disposal.
I learned of the silasec trick when helping a mate with his house repairs- we drowned his roof in and out, and also gave the ceiling space a soaking as well as there was heaps of built up dust sitting in there.Did similar on some commercial properties too.

As kids we used to play with assy chucking scraps in the school gardeners fire to make it go boom (learnt cool new words from the gardener)
Helped Dad with assy fencing, he would cut the tops level, I would clean up the mess.
Working on the mines at Wodgina and Sinclair there was assy all around us, fibrous at Wodgina and both fibrous and powdery types at Sinclair.
At Sinclair they told us not to worry- its the "safe" type of asbestos- but the safety bloke and the geo bolted when I chucked some at them. I came back from my RDO's and the area had been cordonned off and kept damp! but why if its so safe?
we had been wading through the stuff for a fortnight thinking it was just normal dusty dirt [}:)]

You're on the money, Yabulu it is. No merc for me; did go to Fiji though so not complaining.

Clive can be very generous indeed with some things, but equally tight with others. Sometimes these decisions appear to make good business sense, other times I'm not so sure. But, after all, it is his money to spend (or not) as he sees fit.
