Can I open my motorcycle shop, in my house backyard big shed?

February 12th, 2013 5 comments

I just registered dealer,repair licence.

and I have abn number.

If they(licences) are approved, Can I open my shop in shed?
i am in the City Centre Development zoning

You’ll have to check the "zoning laws" in your area.
There are residential and commercial properties.
If your property is not "zoned" for commercial use, it is illegal to operate a business on your property.
Must pass fire safety rules – fire extinguisher every 20 feet (check the laws with your local fire marshal).

You will also need a license to handle hazardous materials.
Gasoline
Oil – replacing a clutch is under the rules of oil.
Parts cleaner
Contact cleaner
Brake fluid
Anti-freeze
Fire proof container to store chemical absorbed rags.

Your business must be insured.
Not only for you, but for a customer that gets hurt on your property.
If a biker gets hurt due to a repair you performed – you will get sued.

You should have insurance in case you damage a bike while in your possession – or if it should get stolen, you are responsible.
If you scratch a bike’s custom paint job – be repaired to shell out the money to have it repainted.

Just giving you a heads up as to what you are getting yourself into.

Does a cam belt really need changing every four years??

February 2nd, 2013 17 comments

I bought a VW Golf in September (04 reg) from my local VW dealership and have just had a letter saying that as my car is now four years old, i should have the cam belt replaced at a cost of at least £270. Is this normal and more importantly is it necessary. The car has done 39,000 miles. Please help as i don’t want to spend money unnecessarily.

It’s cheap insurance if you change the cam belt according to manufacturer’s recommendations. If the thing breaks, there’s a good possibility of internal engine damage that would cost much more to repair than it does to replace the belt on schedule.

How do i ship my laptop for repair?

December 8th, 2012 6 comments

my laptops motherboard is messed up and i found a ebay service offered by paramount computers that lets me send my laptop to them for repair my question is does it cost money for me to send it? if so is it generally expensive to ship stuff like a laptop? do you just go to a post office and ask them to ship it, and give them money?
i am confused!

You of course have to pay for cost of transportation, its only free if you drive to the Repair shop and drop it off [not considering the cost of repair \ fuel to drive].

So Yes – you have to pay for shipping, always make sure in case of expensive electronics you get a box with the words FRAGILE on it, as well as make sure its a registered mail where they need to sign on receiving the item. As well as having a tracking number.

As for the cost of shipping its based on weight and added services in this case tracking and registered mail.

Yes you pay for shipping at the post office. You will also want to contact this paramount computers and about a Product ID \ RMA number before sending it. Most of them require you to put this number on the box – so they can track who its from.

You will also want to write down the serial number of your Laptop and keep it with you. So you know its your laptop that is returned to you. Ideally your MAC ID number too

Can I start a motorcycle repair shop from a shed/garage ?

November 27th, 2012 10 comments

Hi I am really wanting to start a motorcycle repair and custom shop. I just don’t have the money to pay for a big building. Can someone tell me if it is legal to run it out of a garage or shed?

Providing your premises meet all the necessary legal requirements (Health and Safety, fire regulations, registered business address, change of uses of your property, etc.), then yes you can.

If you don’t meet all those requirements, then it’s illegal.

When microsoft repairs your xbox do they check if it has RROD?

November 9th, 2012 1 comment

I want to get my xbox 360 repaired. My warranty is expired. And Im not willing to pay microsoft. If I send in my 360 saying it has 3 RROD would they fix it for free without saying anything? Would they even check to see if it’s broke or what?

Yeah they try it out and see what the problem is. Heres what you do and you cant get into no trouble just play it cool and dont panic.

Go to walmart and buy a new xbox system if you have the reg system arcade system then buy that one. switch the serial tags on the back and if you push in the little lid where you insert your controller theres a serial sticker under there to rip that off of both systems dont put them back on just do the ones on back switch them. then take it back for a full refund of you money. good luck

Becoming a Part of the Internet Web of Life

February 24th, 2011 7 comments

There are currently over a billion websites on the Internet. Are you ready to join the ranks? If you answered in the affirmative, then you’ve got a few decisions in front of you. Ok, you’ve got a ton of decisions and you won’t want to make the wrong ones because it can cost you money and time. In this day and age, those commodities are just too valuable, so let’s look at what’s in store for you about web hosting.

The first thing is your domain name. How will you choose it? It’s 2006; the Internet has existed for about 10 years now as a mainstream rendezvous. That means that most of the basic words are taken. Your best bet is to combine words, use hyphens or make up your own word like google, wikipedia and half-a-million others. You can search on a web host’s page to find your domain name. You can try any name you think up about 5 times per day. Some people would otherwise sit there all day, trying names and buying up anything they could think of. Then, when you come knocking on their door to buy the name you came up with, the price has doubled, tripled or worse. You should be able to get your name for free as part of a package from a web host or sometimes sites like Yahoo! offer $2.99 for a year or about $19.99 from a domain registry company.

Where Will You Live?
So you’ve got your name and now you need a place to park it. A web hosting company is basically like a landlord. They say, we’ve got this much space, these utilities are included and you can hang your sign (domain name) out front. You’re probably going to have to do some research as to who has the best offers, but no matter who you decide on, the one thing that should be included is 99.99% up-time. That means your site won’t crash 99.99% of the time and almost every host can match that guarantee. So if you don’t see it, move along. There are some other major issues you’ll need to look at in your web hosting company.

Spot Checking.
First is the refund policy. If you don’t see it, look for it. If you can’t find it, ask them about it, especially if you like everything else you see or if what they offer sounds too good to be true. You should have 30 days to decide.

You should also see some offer of technical support. Again, it’s 2006. Consumers are more in control today than ever. They can find out the competitor’s price by spending 5 minutes on the phone or 2 minutes online. So if you don’t see an offer of technical support, just say ‘no’. You may want to call the number or write them before you sign up and ask them a few questions. It’s a great way to test their customer service.

The last basic thing you should remember to look for is that you own your domain name, not the web hosting company. Your domain name is yours. There usually isn’t a problem with this, but if there is a problem, it can be a big problem. Imagine the web-hosting company saying they own your domain name. that’s a mess you wouldn’t want to get involved in.

All it really takes is some mild effort on your part. There are unbiased places where you can compare a few different web hosting companies. Ask them questions. Find out who treats you the best and who is an established provider. You’ll save yourself a lot of headaches in the future if you put in a bit of work now. Good Luck.

How much (Roughly) would it cost to repair the crossmember of a Corsa 1.2 merit?

February 22nd, 2011 1 comment

I have a corsa 1.2 L reg with a snapped cross member on the left side, its drivable… but makes strange noises obv :P.

I dont drive it anymore just wanna know if it’s worth trying to get it fixed or just buying a new car.

Save money by finding one at a salvage yard, then installing it yourself or have a friend do it. Every salvage yard in the US varies in price, but I am sure you can get the cross member for under $200.
