[FARWEST]

Air and cabin filters replaced this afternoon....air was certainly due...had had a few 'tap outs', 'blow offs' but cycle was up.
Cabin filter had been replaced 'at some stage' as it was a RYCO Filter and not the original MOPAR brand.....sorry Grippy cant satisfy your curiosity with the grotesque...was dirty, but thats all.
Obviously the previous, and original, owner had done his own servicing but not recorded it in the Manual....unless it was done at the service prior my purchase...unknown...workshop would not release details...offered to service it for me, THEN, tell me what had been done at its previous service....service was done 1500klm prior my purchase by a 'notable' workshop in Adelaide CBD....probably when they told the previois owner that not having serviced the auto for 130k(bought the car with just shy of 130k on clock) the box was due for failure ????....workshop is an auto trans shop basically, with a specialist field in 'foriegn'....read not holden, ford, toyota, nissan, mitsubishu types....anywayz...guts of it is they wouldnt release any info on the service they had performed unless I booked in, had the service done and paid for the service....something I wasnt, and still am not, comfortable with....pretty sure they quoted me around $1100 for air, fuel n oil filters and oil change...just cost me a frack over $310 at very rural prices for the filters n oil this week...sooooo..... $800ish workshop charge....or....4 hours workshop hire/labour (as it appears on the invoice).
Overall:
The Oil Filter looked in the worse condition of all filters replaced at this service....Drover mentions that in my Oil Capacity thread....luckily the filters on these are on top...so a filter change can be done without dropping the oil....no plan to run that far overdue again....but....the best laid plans of mice n men.....
Bring on the 'adventure' !!!!!
