good mechanic would be Trent at TLT automotives on Inspiration drive Wangara.
Pm me if you want his mobile numbers. Only mechanic i trust with my car as he does a brilliant job everytime. tell him Simon with the BA from ABS told you to go there. he will know me and loom after you too


and i would either say crack intake gasket or broken idle sensor....
