Just moved from Sydney to Adelaide for a new job posting.My water pump failed less half way,getting car trucked to Adelaide.
I would greatly appreciate recommendations for good,honest mechanics here in adelaide,(im currently in hilton).
Also how labour intensive is this fix? i read on another thread best to do timing belt ,tensioners and bearings...is this so ?
thanks in advance.

Big job Wess, so yeah, do the lot if it's anywhere near due for a major service.

He does the bigger jobs for me and quite a few other local Soarer owners, so he knows most jobs already.

Hi Wess,

I can highly reccommend Brenton at Fours N More in Pooraka (North of the city) he's been doing numerous jobs on my supercharged V8 as of late and is a great honest bloke. I'd take my car to Manta, but he's just too far for me to go.

Welcome to Radelaide!
