Fair Dinkum Fixes
I've spent the better part of twenty years in and around Australian workshops, car yards, and remote tracks — not as a journalist, but as someone who's been burned the same way you have. I bought a used 4WD in my early thirties that looked immaculate and cost me more in the first eighteen months than the purchase price. That experience sent me deep into service records, reliability databases, insurance policy fine print, and conversations with mechanics who don't work for dealerships. I documented what actually separates the vehicles that hold up from the ones that hollow out your savings account — across conditions from the Pilbara to the Snowy Mountains. Fair Dinkum Fixes is what I wish I'd had before I signed that first contract. It's built on data, not brand loyalty, and it won't try to impress you with jargon. It'll just help you make a better decision than I did.
I put off writing Fair Dinkum Fixes for a long time because I assumed the information was already out there. And technically it is — buried across forums, buried in policy documents, buried in service bulletins that most people never see. The problem isn't access to information. It's that there's no system connecting it. I've watched intelligent, careful people make expensive mistakes not because they didn't do their research, but because they were researching without a framework. They knew a lot. They just didn't know what mattered most, in what order, and why. This collection exists to solve that. It's not comprehensive for the sake of being comprehensive — every chapter is there because it addresses a real financial decision that Australian ute and 4WD owners face. If it saves you one bad purchase or one denied insurance claim, it's paid for itself many times over. That's the only standard I held it to.
