jarrett does all work on my VL. great mechanic. i'm actually booked in again monday. hey vlturbsss, what boost are you running through the t3/t4? by the way, if your VL has a problem that no mechanic can diagnose, get a new CAS. works 9/10 times and if it didn't need replacing yet, it probably would have gone soon anyway... haha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

RB30DET, you work for AATEC right? Do you ever do callouts to fix photocopiers in Maryborough? Our new one has a AATEC sticker on it...

wide bay tafe. at the maryborough campus. photocopiers make me so angry sometimes.. haha. anyway, so is your VL really an RB30DET? have you got an rb20, 25 or 26 head on it? a friend from gladstone was trying to sell me an rb20 twin cam head for mine, but i've heard its not really worth doing the conversion unless you at least go for the rb25 head..

I think we got 3 copiers at mb tafe. only got a single cammer on mine atm, not sure if you can use an rb20 head on a 3L.
