I haven't.
The IPC recall was issued on Oct 17 2024, and I received the letter (dated Dec 10 2024) mid December. Almost two months after.
Based on that, this official recall letter is well and truly...

If you think the odd recall for an S650 is bad, spare a thought for the Aussie F-150 owners and their locally RHD converted Frankentrucks.
Something about ADR compliance! :facepalm:
Recalls erode customer confidence in a product, as reflected in sales.

Try dealing with TPG!
Phillipino call center and it's difficult to understand what they are saying half the time.
Can't even manage my TPG account online because of a website error that never sends the verification SMS to enable you to log in.

I renewed with APIA, and the premium actually went down!
$955 last year > $915 this year
Insured agreed value fell from $89k to $87k.
Only compromise here is that replacement glass is not OEM.
I'm not convinced this is a genuine issue and whether S650 aftermarket windscreens are even available...
Welcome Jeff :like:
The side marker lights on our Aussie-spec cars don't illuminate.
I haven't personally investigated whether the wiring exists because this mod has never interested me.
I'd be be asking your SA transport authority if they are actually legal to retrofit to this car.

My first Christmas with the spoiler....
You see these wankers with tinsel draped over their cars, so, umm....

Some things in stock, with most things available on back-order.
Not a surprise, but...
If the dilution due to viscosity differences has been there, it's never bothered me.
Or rather, to be honest, I have never noticed.
I have been meaning to do my own experiment on how much dilution the tips provide.
ie; fill up the cannon's native jar with water and measure how much total water...
Steve, you may recall I paid USD$100 (equivalent to ~AUD$150) 18 months ago when I was in the US mid last year. Had it delivered to a mate's place I was dropping in to see after a work week.
So the AUD$172 offering from Amazon for the cannon that D links to is very reasonable, especially...
Being one of the few in this country with a Griot's Boss BF302 foam cannon, and having first hand experience of how good it is, I was quite excited by this news when I started reading your post D.
Only then to discover it's an incredibly small range of consumables that Autobarn are stocking.
