Register an ABN and say you're a mobile mechanic, automotive repair isn't even a licenced trade in Australia, you don't need to have any qualifications to work in the industry anyway.
Then sign up for these: https://www.gmtradeparts.com.au/ https://www.fordtradeclub.com.au/ I wasn't even aware they had public access to workshop manuals. |

The dealership also gave me an electronic copy of the then current model AU Falcon as they wanted me to see if I could fix the fan speed controllers on them too and also see if I could fix some of LCD display issues they were having. But that was before all communication with me ceased I assume on Ford's command. It was made clear it was under the counter and that I could not tell anyone. I really had no interest in making it a business or spending a lot of time doing such things and I was just trying to be helpful Nonetheless, I still occasionally (like less than once a year) get phone calls on my landline from people wanting their fan speed controller fixed and someone at a dealer service center or Veale's has given them my number. As an FCPA I also know there are penalties associated with applying for an ABN in for nefarious reason where no taxable income is likely to arise and as a FCPA I couldn't claim ignorance. So not these days and as I already have downloaded all the manuals up to the last Falcon and Territory models I have no need.

We need to start pushing the "right to repair" political buttons like they are doing in the USA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKy28YryhSQ
