Hell no! The only smoking is outside.

I was looking for an onboard jack in case I had to get a wheel off the ground to use dog turd plugs. Looked everywhere, nothing was quite right, then I found the perfect thing in my wifes car. Factory VW scissor jack. It'll do in a pinch. Geddit? Pinch

My Makita battery pressure washer can draw water from a container and is perfect for using osmosis water. They're actually useful for light cleaning when you don't want to faff around with Karchers and such.

As long as it doesn't die the morning you're setting off on an interisland house move, with two carloads of household goods, the fob doesn't work, you can't remember the manual opening system and the manual's locked in the car. St Google to the rescue.

That's because they're jealous.

I use the suction cups too, once in a long while one might come loose, but generally they're perfectly fine.

Spreadsheet here too. I had so much suspension tuning info and other stuff on my bikes I had to devise somewhere to store it with easy access. All the other cars have gone on speadsheets too.

No issues here. V1 Gen 2 under the RVM. It also has a B/T connection to the phone display, and that has no issues either.

If it helps, girls love Grabber Blue.

One of the top three colours. Grabber Blue, Adriatic Blue and Vapour Blue. I'm feelin' blue.

Possibly true. We did not target particular brands or models of cars. Boi Racer cars did get attention, and exotics were always speeding. But personalised plates have a downside, a phrase is much easier to remember than three digits and three letters. Excpet for one of the first plates issued...

Does that mean I have to get rid of my Galaxy Flip to get updates?

Luckily we have a cheap Consumer Disputes Tribunal which hears cases up to $NZ60,000. No lawyers, just claimant and defendant. It's been useful to me a few times.

I couldn't believe this, after my post about my wife giving up her manual Toyota. Her-I like those Abarth 695's Me - because they're cute? Her - no, because they're crazy. Me - Has to be manual, autos are crap. Two days later. Her - Those Abarths are really cool, and pricing is really good. Me -...

Yes, of course it has to be contested in court. Then they have to prove you were the cause of the failure. And, if your system is similar to the Westminster civil system, the decision is on the balance of probabilities.

An exception for me was the stupid Dzus style plug on VW EA888 engines. I always used a new one, and used the factory tool and never had it leak. Dealers, it seemed weren't so careful

The manufacturer can try to refute claims, but proof is needed actual, factual, tested proof. Eg, Company - the diff failed because you added 50 hp. Claimant - What's the rated maximum input torque of that diff?

How was that measured, app? Which one?

"They" say to replace the plug every time. But I have to confess I haven't, but I do use thread sealer or loctite blue on the threads. Never lost a plug or had a leak. I do always torque the plug.

They specialise in them, and "tuned" cars. Amazing how many "1000hp" cars are slower than stock.
