Their experience continued by working for various dealerships such as Holden, Nissan, Mitsubishi, continuing with local workshops and service stations.

Once you have been to TRS Auto Repairs you will want to come back, should you have any problems they certainly stand by their workmanship. The most common problems we experience in servicing brake & clutch problems on motor vehicles namely, Squeaky Brakes, Brake Shudder. This can be caused because of a lot of different problems. The most common one we are seeing is since asbestos has been removed from the brake linings (for health reasons) the manufacturers are experimenting with the composition of the brake linings. This in turn is hard to come up with a composition which is as good as asbestos. While the compositions are more environmentally friendly sometimes they don’t have the same anti squeak characteristics of the older style brake Gold Coast pads. We are finding some brands of brake pads suit different vehicles and if there is an ongoing problem we have found the Bendix brand will generally rectify this problem. It is also advisable to always machine discs in order to help these new age brake pads to bed in a lot quicker and easier. In finishing if your brakes are squeaky or noisy you should always get them checked, so we can make sure they are safe to be driven on and not just a bit squeaky. While driving a vehicle your brakes are subjected to a lot of different conditions and general wear and tear, a common bad condition which causes brake disc deterioration is in normal driving your brakes get hot and you may then go through some water e.g. rain or a puddle going from hot to cold quickly is what distorts these metal disc rotors and they then need to be machined flat again. To rectify this problem the brake discs will need to be machined. As far as clutch Repairs gold coast servicing goes, there is not a lot you can do. If you have a hydraulic clutch, it is a good idea to change your hydraulic fluid every 20,000 km or two years (same as brake fluid). If you have a cable clutch it can be adjusted as your clutch wears. If you have a hydraulic clutch it will adjust automatically as your clutch wears.(read

Technology's Mighty Strides
Submitted as: Here are some of the most amazing ways in which ho
Here are some of the most amazing ways in which home entertainment has improved –
VCRs through to DVD/Blu-Ray
Anyone who is old enough will be sure to have fond memories of their very first VCR! For many of us, our initial video recorder would have been a hulking great ‘top-loader’. However, you have to remember; this was ‘state of the art’ stuff at the time!
Ugly they may have been, but that did not stop them from being magical. All of a sudden we had the ability to ‘pause’ a programme, ‘fast-forward’ through naff soap-powder adverts or ‘record’ the late-night film if we had to get up early for work. Wow! Now this was living!!!
Little did we know what joys were to come in the years ahead. Anyone who has only grown up during a time of DVDs will think we must have been mad...
ZX81 through to Home PCs
Okay, so most of us thought that the ZX81 was pretty crap (even in its heyday), but it was still ‘cutting edge tech’ back in 1981...
However, things certainly got a lot more exciting when the ZX Spectrum was introduced! Good old Sir Clive, we knew he’d come through in the end!!! (I know, let’s just not mention that C5 idea...)
And of course, it didn’t stop there. We had the Commodore 64, the Atari ST and the Amiga 500. Oooo, heady times indeed!
Up until the advent of home PCs and the internet that is...
Magnavox through to Nintendo Wii
Blip!.........Blop!-----Blip!.........Blop!
Any child of the seventies will remember this hellish sound. Yes, it was the sheer wonder of a Magnavox video game system (complete with one channel audio capabilities)! How on earth did we ever get so excited about it????
Mind you, the Atari 2600 was a whole different kettle of fish and it still has a tremendous amount of Retro appeal!
But since the old wooden-cased Atari wound down, it’s all gone a bit Berserk (classic title!) really... we have had the NES, SNES, Megadrive, Saturn, CDi, Gamecube, N64, Xbox, Xbox 360, Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Wii...
Where will it all end? And do any of us really want it to?
BBC1 through to HDTV
Once upon a time, there was just one single solitary television channel. And the only satellite dish equipment you were ever likely to see would be stuck on the top of a Gerry Anderson spaceship with Bostik! It’s all a tad hard to imagine these days, isn’t it?
It’s certainly a far cry from the here and now. The kids of today would think that the world had slipped off its axis if they didn’t have two-hundred-odd TV stations to flick through after getting home from school!(read

Canterbury, The Most Resilient Sports Wear In The World
Submitted as: Rugby is a well-known and a very popular sport tha
Rugby is a well-known and a very popular sport that is full of excitement and action. It does not matter how long someone has been around the sport, the fact is that the enthusiasm and the thrill of the game is always present. Canterbury is the name to remember in the rugby world. It is known as the company that manufactures the very best rugby gear in the entire world and is based in New Zealand.
Canterbury was founded over a century ago, in 1904, in the area of Canterbury in New Zealand; hence the name of the company, where it manufactured knitwear. It is sometimes known as CCC by the rugby community such as the retailers and the rugby fans. The brand is also well known for their rugby protective gear and rugby boots. It also manufactures rugby clothing for those that do not play the sport but without any doubt support the sport; the ones that are off the field! Rugby might be the brand’s leading sport wear, but the company also produces general sports clothing such as football and cricket and also life style clothing.
The brand’s slogan is "the World's Toughest Active wear" because their goal is to manufacture all merchandise to be resilient and to endure in the toughest of conditions just as the rugby sport demands. Rumour has it that no Canterbury sweater has been torn in an international game between 1967 and the final game of the 2007 Tri Nations.
In 2007, 21st of May, the company extended its horizons to the United Kingdom’s Premier League. A deal was made with the English team Portsmouth to supply the team wear. This involvement into football, the most popular sport in the world, was not a first. Before Portsmouth, Canterbury supplied the team wear of New Zealand’s, Football Kingz.
Although the brand has been founded in New Zealand, it has expanded in virtually all the continents as it is a favorite amongst the rugby community, world wide. The head office has now relocated from Canterbury to Auckland and the majority of the company is now owned by Kuwait Finance House, which focusses on rugby football. The European part of the company, based in Stockport, was sold in 2009 to JD Sports, a leading sport wear company in the UK(read

Things To Be Aware Of When You Are Shopping For Insurance
Submitted as: Well, the bottom line is that insurance is just li
Well, the bottom line is that insurance is just like anything else we buy. We can either go out and get it from the first supplier that we come across or we can take a little time to look into it all.
Here are 5 of the most important things to keep in mind when you are planning to take out insurance –
1. The Right Place to Look is usually the internet; well, at least it is for 99.9% of the time! Apart from the very odd exception, the most comprehensive and realistically-priced policies will normally be found with online insurers. Organising your insurance over the World Wide Web is fast, simple and very convenient. Not all of us have time to ring around lots of different insurance companies, so using the Net to find a policy is by far the most sensible answer.
2. The Price is not the most important factor when you are shopping around for insurance! Sure, everyone loves to find a bargain, but you should always concentrate on finding an optimal amount of cover. Don’t be taken in by any ludicrously low priced policies because the reality is that they will normally only provide you with a ludicrously low amount of protection! Narrow down your search to the best policies and then choose the one that is cheapest!
3. Pushy Salespeople really can be a pain if you are ringing around insurance companies! The problem is that many agents will be working on a commission-based wage; this means that talking you into a policy will make a big difference to their weekly earnings! Another really good reason for restricting your search for a policy to online insurers...
4. The Degree of Cover can vary considerably from one insurance company to another, so it is always worth doing a little research. Most insurers will have plenty of information on their websites about each policy so you will know exactly what protection you will have before making any final decisions. You may well find the same type of policy at several different insurers, whilst one of them will offer a far greater amount of protection.
5. The Type of Policy you are going to take out is another very important factor. However, this can be a bit of a balancing act... On one hand you will get far more peace of mind with the most comprehensive type of cover, but on the other, it will often be far more expensive. For example, if you are looking for UK van insurance quotes, then there will be the usual choice of Third Party Fire and Theft, Fully Comprehensive or Third Party Only. Just which of these you are going to opt for will obviously hinge on the overall value of your vehicle and how large a budget you have set aside for your insurance.(read
