If i was just there for a car battery, i would have just shown the photo of the part number of the battery in my car. But i also wanted new remotes as mine both crapped out a long time ago. But fg's have the flippy keys, bf's have remotes. Luckily whilst they said they had 2 in stock, supercheaps system lied. They would have been $79 each. So i went to repco next door. Repco typically have what you want, but typically charge what they want. So, same thing, look up 2007 falcon, and they had 2 remotes on the system, and they were is stock. For $53 a piece. So i bought the 2. Yeah, probably could have payed less if i did the inteweb shoping or wanted to travel, but convenience. And $52 less by going next door. Bonus is both the remotes i bought work.

Tweaked a muscle in my upper back doing heavy weeding last week, every couple of days it seems to be mending - then the next day I get overconfident and find myself in serious discomfort.

…When a car doesn’t start after months of sitting, and diagnosis is inconclusive.
Then you find the vital wiring connector which was never properly re-connected. ![]() …And it starts on the button, like it was running ten minutes before! |

Now, this is a 1st world problem. So i got a new phone. Transferring from my old one was simple enough. But for apps like internet banking and the like, i dont remember my passwords. I use pretty much the same passwords for everything, but some things need a capital letter and a number, others need a minimum of 8 characters etc. So my morning was spent pressing forgotten password then doing the emails to reset them. I went through the same pain 5 years ago when i got my last phone, but with apps, theyre set and forget. So subsequently i forgot.

I think it’s from depletion, the original terminal clamp was a pressed metal (nickel plated brass) one that was thickest around the bottom edge where the failure mostly follows. A bit like the way marine corrosion affects brass, making it crumbly.

So NSW RMS have declared the next five days as a “long weekend” for enforcing road rules despite no holiday on either Friday or Monday. Not impressed!

I ordered the materials from Bunnings for my lawn edge on Monday and given it was local I figured maybe a day or two since it said they had it in stock. Timeframe 2-5 days.
Then I got a second email confirmation from a different store and figured they double booked it but no charge. I get the notification that it is on the way today so was excited to get started and they rock up with only part of the order which was just the sand so I can't get started at all ![]() Looks like they split the order which explains the second email and based on the timing I'm not likely to get it tomorrow I wanted it done already as the weather is better and to have a few days doing **** all before going back to work on Thursday. Don't be slack ordering **** folks even if it is local ![]() |

I was pulling into a driveway on a main road this morning. My car is low enough that it pretty much scapes driving over leaves. I know my brake lights and indicators work. So there was a semi trailer behind me but a fair ways back. So ive slowed to enter this driveway, but the truck didnt slow at all, so i punched it, scraped the crap out of my undercarriage and and the truck missed me by a **** whisker. The new exhaust on my car probably has more dents in it then mike tysons head. But truck vs falcon. Safe bet the truck would have won. He wasnt slowing for nobody. It was like i was invisible.

Goodo. When I was taught to drive by a driving school, we were taught when entering a driveway either on the right or left side of the road, when doing so if there is traffic behind you, you must pull over to the left curb and wait for traffic to pass before swinging into a private driveway. Same as a RH side driveway, it was taught to pull over to the left and wait for other vehicles to pass before turning right into a private driveway (unless of course there is a turn lane)
I remember it had something to do with impeding through traffic flow back then.. Don't know how you could acheive this in really narrow roads mind. No one does this anymore. In the country (80-100kmh) there is an unwritten rule where if you are turning right into a side street with vehicles following you and no one is approaching you from the front, it is courteous to move over to the right side of the road and turn into the side road. By doing so following vehicles do NOT try and overtake you as you turn right.

The truck would have been atleast 100m behind me, i always indicate prematurely, and in a 60 zone, i only slowed to 20. Its not a steep driveway entry. But yeah, 20km my car wouldnt scrape, its a known good driveway to me. But this truck driver, dunno what his focus was on, im guessing it was the red light 800m away. It was Victoria rd. So yeah to turn left into a driveway i was in the bus lane, dunno why he was. But it was a miss, but way to close for comfort. And it was a modern volvo. So at 60, from 100m, you'd think it could atleast slow down a bit. Had he been riding my tail i would have gone around the block, but that wasnt the case. He was well back.

Yeah nah, there was none of that happening. If there was any attention payed id atleast expect some horn action from the truck. Or at minimum trailer lock up. But multiple tonnes freight training. Its a bit of an ahole clencher. But i did get my bluetooth gizmo.
