*Sticky*

[N_S]

I have compiled the most commonly asked question (Australian based) like insurance and the importers etc.

If you would like more info added, just post here, and I'll whack it in the top, and if anyone needs to search info regarding supra, just search *Sticky* in the Australian Forum and most of the answers should be here.

I think I have covered all of the insurance threads, but anyway, here it is:

Is there a Moderator around to actually make this post *Sticky* ? ... it's a very useful post.

[Sicarius123]

Apparently the Australian regional forums dont have a moderator at all. I've messages a forum moderator to try and get this sticky, as it would stop all the same questions being asked over and over again.

Since the crash of '03, most of the old threads were deleted... Looks like every1 will have to ask the same qn's again...

ignore the spaces as I don't want the autoformating php to make that into a link.

Nope nothing was deleted, because the forum was linked as a root and not nested like currently, that's y it didn't work, will fix the links after exams when I have the time.

Yep link was already added on the 16/2 (check the last edit date)

[ramone_johnny]

I thought this might be useful also. Very common question.

Q. The big red triangle light with the exclamation mark on the dash keeps lighting up, for no reason when Im driving along, or when I hit the brakes...why?

A. Usually this is an indication that your brake fluid resevoir is low. Topping up your brake fluid should resolve this problem.
