It will be replaced by E10 ethanol blended fuel, which means that the fuel is 10% ethanol. The new choice will be E10, 95 and 98 Octane petrol. Damage can be caused to the new motor if E10 To check whether it's okay to put this new fuel in your car, check out this website. Ethanol contains less energy than petrol, which means that you won't get as many kilometers per litre as with the higher (95 or 98) octane fuels.
Servicing your car regularly IS IMPORTANT if you don't want your engine to seize up and get wrecked. Some people think it's possible to get away with topping up the oil, without changing it, and without servicing their car regularly. This definitely does not save money in the long run. Unchanged, dirty oil in your cars engine is like having high cholesterol levels in your blood clogging up your arteries.
First of all, when you go to purchase a used car, it's good to remember that you are really buying kilometers. Things to consider: What do you want out of your second hand car? Looks and colour are nice, but in the end you'll be paying extra if you don't think about economy, reliability, cost of repairs and servicing, registration and insurance.
Brake shudder and vibrations Brake shudder is normally caused the disk rotor or brake drum having slight high spots in it, or being warped from the heat over a period of time. This causes a shudder through the car and the brake pedal when you go at speed (60-100km/h) and you will feel a slight pulsation through the brake pedal when it is applied.
To get the best fuel economy, you need to learn to drive with your foot very lightly on the accelerator and to cruise instead of accelerate hard. However sometimes the car isn't tuned correctly, so fuel consumption will always be bad unless you get your car tuned. Things as simple as a bad thermostat can cause bad fuel economy in a modern car.

Have a 1977 Stag which needed an experienced V8 mechanic to tune and sort the carbies. Now running well. Good quality work, honest and trustworthy mechanic.

Had my vehicles serviced here many times. They're always honest, and do the little extras (like vacuuming the carpet once finished) that aren't necessary but make all the difference.

Extremely happy with the service. Its really positive when you can simply ask for a part to be installed in your car and there are no silly rules about only installing parts they supply that you need to follow. Really quick service, managed to fit me in on a busy day so i had my car avalible. Would reccomend to anyone looking for straightforward experience, no fuss nothing dodgy, if something needs replacing they will call first. Will definitely be back again. Highly reccomemd.

Steve used to be in Coffs and was the best mechanic in town. Coffs' loss is Sydney's gain.

Can't do better. I was treated fairly and honestly, as well as provided with education about cars which I should have known beforehand. It was a nuisance of a car to fix and I expect many other mechanics would have refused the job. In any case, thank you Steve for your patience and honesty. I'll definitely be back.

Steve was very friendly guy, and went out of his way to help me get my car on the road.
He always provides great competitive quotes, and his work is always thorough and being a ex mechanic, his work is great and very happy with it.
