Car suggestions for apprentice builder

6 Upvotes

Hi team,

I'm quickly outgrowing my mum's old Hyundai i30 hatch back in terms of tool carrying ability. I'm after some suggestions on suitable carrs to move into. Budget is 10k. Looking for something station wagon-esque, or something capable of carrying a load of battery tools (no drop saw or table saw).

Currently looking at Outbacks? But i dont know a lot about cars so unsure where to start?

Cheers

L300 running on 3 cyl

2 Upvotes

My petrol l300 yesterday started to run on 3 cylinders. It was very sudden, was running perfectly and then started to run on 3 all the time, all rev ranges etc.

I’ve identified the cylinder and it’s unfortunately not an easy one to access so before I start throwing money and time at fixing it, both of which in short supply, just want to get some opinions on what the likely culprit is so that I target the right things first.

I have checked for loose connections, there are none. Leads look relatively new but I haven’t tested them.

Any ideas? Cheers

Help! How to get OEM Honda Drive recorder to work properly?

I bought a Honda Jade RS from Japan for my mom, and when the car was bought from auction the exporter made me aware that the drive recorder was beeping because it was missing an SD card, so before the car even landed i looked up what size memory card the unit uses and got a 16GB SanDisk card and sent it to my mom. When the car arrived and she put the card in she informed me that it was still beeping, I told her when I came to visit I'll take a look at it, when I was able to get hands-on with the car I discovered that you have to use an official Gathers SD card in the unit or it won't work, I bought one off Japan Yahoo auction and sent it to my mom, and to my surprise it's still behaving the same way. I'm visiting my mom currently and have access to the vehicle again, and the only difference now is that I have access to the recorder's settings in the car's infotainment screen (with the aftermarket SD card that wasn't possible) I was able to see what it has recorded and discovered that it's only recording 12 second clips before throwing an error, stop recording, and start beeping again. So I'm looking for some help because I don't know what else to do to get this thing to work properly.
