Been away from here a while now, been playing with broom brooms, anyway while I’ve been doing that I’ve been spending serious time at my two bestest mates’ workshop, they have a great setup and do interesting sutff like building the worlds fastest used everyday taxi, to a ’52 dodge ute, and the mundane everyday servicing of fleet vehicles and taxcis and 4x4s…
So anyway occassionally they let me hold a spanner or get an oil filter so when my mate Rod starts swearing at a car a few weeks back because of oil flow issues he can’t find I get interested… so he traces the problem back to the OEM oil cooler….. when he pulls it out he exclaims… no Phuggin’ wonder it’s a piece of $#!+

guess who it is made by and found in an Australian built Ford?

I almost had to be PEELED off the floor I laughed so much when i saw the sticker…

made my day

If it was Ford I would say made by Kia just like the majority of Holdens are made by Daewoo. I won’t buy so called Aussie cars they are junk and don’t get me stared on US cars. My misses last car was a Jeep. Biggest piece of shit EVER.

rant over.

Nah not Kia, that wouldn’t have been a surprise….

I actually like the xr series and G6 Falcs, they are really well made vehicles and are a good package

Right sort of quadrant of the globe, but no not land rover, not british at all.

In Fact I am not sure how Hans Trunckenpole would feel about his compnay making these bits for cars….

Have to agree with the jeep comment. I will NEVER get another jeep and do my best to talk people out of getting one. Biggest piece of shit I have ever owned, and it was a top end model. A pretend off road, 4wd vehicle. A cheap plastic toy. And the local service was shite too! My boss also had a jeep. Geez, dont get me started…… :S
Cheers budge
