WANTED: Mobile mechanic

Hi

I've tried several mobile mechanics, but *none* of them pitched up at my house at the agreed-upon time 🙁 It blows my mind that these guys are so unprofessional - they don't want my money.

So anyway, is there anyone here experienced with working on the SX (CA18DET) who is willing to help me remove the head so I can replace the head gasket? Also need to pressure test the head (have a spare one too). I have tools and parts, just need a helping hand. I *could* do this job myself, but I'd like some help. I'm willing to pay R2k for that. I'm based in Midrand. Please call me on 0734793273 to arrange.

Thanks!

i can help you out im no mechanic but i pulled the head off my car no problems and put it back without any issues. i got a compression tester aswell if you need it

Great, thanks! Please give me a call so we can arrange a time. The compression tester will be handy.

Hi Toby, I'm also willing to help if sonof anarchy can not, let me know.

Hey Derek! Long time man, hope you're well 🙂 I've arranged with him, I'll let you know if it doesn't work out, thanks.

I am thanks Toby, hope you and the wife are also well, no problem, while you busy, change cam belt, idler bearing and tensioner, just to be safe.

Wife and I are well, thanks 🙂 Thanks for the tips - if I can get replacement parts, I'll do it. The timing belt is practically brand new - has only seen about 10000km, should I still change it? I've had issues with the tensioner before, so I'll try to get a replacement.

If I was closer I would come help for free.

Glad you guys are well!!

I am sure it is fine but I normally change it if I have to take it off for what ever reason, just makes you feel better that all is new and right.

If only i had time.
