    Buying a car --> Making a Reciept

    Ive sold two cars recently, without rwcs. I just gave the buyers a handwritten receipt saying I sold the car(colour and model), with my name and address and seller's name(+their licence no), the cars vin no and engine no. Both had no troubles getting the vehicles past vicroads again.

    NARVA Blue Power headlights = terrible

    Is that with the engine running, if not, that's about as good as it gets. Personally, I think everyone gets carried away with putting brighter lights in their car, I suppose the auto accessory shops love it at $40 and up for globes when a standard one only costs $8 and will generally last...

    HELP!! Smoke Detector going off all the time.

    Ive got smoke detectors in all rooms, including hallways, yeh it was expensive when I first put them in 25 years ago, but now they are cheap as chips, apart from the 9v batteries!. Basically its falling a sleep and not knowing there is a fire that gets people killed. Im not interested in...

    Perhaps think twice before taking me on with the sarcastic nonsense that you went on with. Ill discuss things politely with people that do likewise, fools that do otherwise deserve some comeback.

    Advanced Driver Training - Yes or No?

    Trolling again heh, Sorry, you dont like my opinions(I hesitate to call statements based on facts opinion), cant do much about that, I suppose what is so irritating for those that disagree/take me on is that I can always back it up.............:whistling

    Advanced Driver Training - Yes or No?

    Really, you are confusing my opinion with examining the facts from both sides of an argument. If you cant do that, then there is a problem. Id love to see that something as simple as sending people to adt for a day would lower the road toll, but evidence(I work with facts, not what the common...

    Advanced Driver Training - Yes or No?

    You guys are unbelievable, all you have is that some insurance companies get fully comprehensive drivers into their business by offering a little carrot of a small bonus. It may well be that they find those drivers have less claims, however, that is not proving that doing the courses does iota...

    Advanced Driver Training - Yes or No?

    Lets be sure everyone knows that you dont have one bit of evidence to support your "theory" I do, a whole internet full of sources that I could fill up pages of links, going to call them all lies, out of date, flawed, geez you found something that related to 1984, geez, they did studies back...

    Stupidest television advertisement

    Pedestrians usually get hit because they or the car driver did something wrong(try mulling that over), statistics show its typically a combination of a creton in a car going to fast( who thinks they have advanced driving skills enabling them to swerve a car out of a line and dodge an uncoming...

    whatever wtf means, I assume its not complimentary .....perhaps you could look up dual and duel in the dictionary as a little homework assignment before you pack your lunch for school tomorrow.

    34,000km VN, what's it worth ?

    I dont think you can get much of an idea on the car's value by what people are asking for them atm, only what they actually get is relevant, $10000 is dreaming. Yes, ~$3000 is about it As far as I see it, there is about as much appeal in having a brand new vn today as there would be in...

    Sony Or Pioneer.

    yes most 6 x 9s are crap speakers, designed for the bigger is better mentality novice car audio converts. However, many dont understand why they exist and their advantages and indeed that very good 6 x9 speakers exist? or have been corrupted with some idea that they are bogan speakers?

    HELP!! Smoke Detector going off all the time.

    Makes sense? So the baby is sleeping in another bedroom to you, a fire starts in there due to some electrical fault with the intercom/whatever and you the parent arent going to know about it until enough smoke leaks out from the room to trigger the hallway detector.......yeh great sense.

    HELP!! Smoke Detector going off all the time.

    What is your point? My point is there is no point in not having one in the bedroom, the twisted logic of ancient fire regs is that fires cant start in bedrooms....rubbish.

    Gas

    Really, so what is dual fuel? Shucks, you had me fooled.:whistling Car manufacturers dont care whether its clean or not, they'd only care if they couldnt meet the current emission regs with petrol. It costs more to make a car run on lpg, the tank cant be put anywhere being one of the...

    HELP!! Smoke Detector going off all the time.

    Great, so the fire in the bedroom has to get large enough for the smoke to get under the door and trigger the detector outside. Fires can start in bedrooms! yes you should have one in the hallway too, incase one starts outside the bedroom.

    Advanced Driver Training - Yes or No?

    Sure, but have you got any to back up yours, of course not....because there isnt any. But heh, that doesnt stop all these people who have done the courses telling us it will make the world safer, who are they to stop a few facts getting in the way. Unfortunately the evidence says its just...

    Gas

    what's duel fuel? If you talked about CO2 emissions you'd be right, but all other emissions are less, parts wear out quicker? only valves and seats that arent designed for them yeh right. Same for me, but then again if that was the case I wouldnt even need to drive a car.

    overheating problem 1 hose hot 1 cold

    Not in a car that is overheating. Does sound like a circulation problem. Could be water pump and/or radiator clogged. one test to see which is to turn the heater onto max heat and low fan speed and compare the temp of the water going in and out of the heater. If these hoses display the...

    Steering Wheel Issue

    Could be as simple as just a problem with the indicator return mechanism, Im guessing its much the same as earlier holdens, cam on the shaft that hits against a left and right spring? simple problem, getting the steering wheel off, with airbag etc, thats the hard bit.

    So your limited data on what a few of your mates have done/not done tells us more than the many companies who have abandoned advanced driving courses for its employees because it increases their insurance claims.

    The deal with the rebate is you get $2000 back from the cost of the conversion. atm the basic factory system for the vx whould be able to be fitted for less than $3000 - rebate = ~$1000, if you go donut tank etc, it maybe more expensive. There are conditions that shouldnt affect you for the...

    Overhaulin Australia?

    and what business in australia does the sort of work overhaulin does? Notice how they always do jobs on cars where they can just dial up all the spare body bits and everything, we dont have that sort of infrastructure for our older cars.

    Will this blow my speakers?

    As has been said ^, more amp power than you need is never a problem, just refrain from turning up the volume too far. A lower power amp wont suddenly stop powering the speakers when you turn up the volume, it will keep getting louder too, but with damaging high frequency signals that will burn...

    HELP!! Smoke Detector going off all the time.

    Small amounts of any smoke wont affect them, but a big cigarette fire will. Yes, there are alarms that will detect smoke in small amounts, and can be tuned specifically to cigarette smoke and these can be used where they want to deter people from smoking.

    HELP!! Smoke Detector going off all the time.

    Interesting about the paint fumes. Just a small point, alpha radiation is ionising radiation, ionises the air within the detection chamber and allows a current to flow between charged plates. Typically smoke particles stop this from happening, absorbing the particles and not forming charged...

    How hard to change heater valve

    You were complaining about the service reminder indicator????, my advice was to ignore it or turn it off.....I hope you realise simple draining the oil out of it and putting a new filter on it wont turn the reminder off.:whistling

    How hard to change heater valve

    same on my vx, hasnt appeared to use any fluid yet. One reason as to why I stick with the standard 15in wheel and 205/65 tyre. ignore it!, or look up how to turn it off, its in the owner's manual.

    How hard to change heater valve

    Was just having a look at this the other day. on my vx the whole heater tap and heater hoses connection thingo is just clipped onto the inside of the mudguard beneath all the abs stuff, it just all should pull away to make disconnecting everything there easy.

    Wheel nuts sheared

    Where did the studs shear, Im assuming the definition of shear here is they just broke away? Did they break at the base of the hub or at about just where the end of the nut would be?
