Hey volks,
Does anyone know of any good mechanics in northern Queensland?
Limping in to Townsville on our '76kombi roadtrip at the moment, and it sounds and feels like one of our valves isn't pulling its weight. We'd the same problem when we arrived in Darwin, but got a re-con job on one of the heads. She was running a treat. We'd been taking it easy, but today she started making slappy revs, drinking engine oil, and loosing power.
We're distraught, but want to do the right thing by the van (and get to Sydney!). If anyone knows any good reliable VW mechanics in Townsville, Cairns, or this neck of the woods, that doesn't eat travellers for breakfast, please PLEASE let me know.
Thanks.

Wah that's no good....I'm sure help will be along soon once the guys up Nth got onto this thread
Good luck!!
OK I went to the Help Out a Dubber area on here
Here's someone in Townsville....quote
Can't say I'll be too much help but I've got some tools, alot of time (I'm at uni) and some very limited spares (an old T1 motor in the backyard). I know of a couple of people in Townsville who do work on VW and the local VW shop which has a few wrecks and parts which they let me pick over at reasonable prices. Oh and homebrew on tap. So if you are in Townsville and need help or advice give me a ring- (07) 4723 7989.
Cheers

I've got parts and tools but no time.You're welcome to use what I've got!! (spare heads/cylinders etc...pretty well everything) All the parts I have are free. If you are in Cairns go to Werners and tell him Michael from Townsville sent you. He will look after you. Good luck. U2U me for my phone number if you want anything.:bounce
