Little Things You Hate

Warning said turn off engine and check coolant. Last night when that came on the trmp guage qas maybe 1/3 of the way between its normal position and the red line.

The worksheet says perform recall notice xyz, replace heater element and test plan ok. I'm guessing they didnt clamp a hose but i have no real knowledge. Their rep. Called today and i asked if i could use Audi parramatta as its mich closer most days, gave me one nunber which hung up after one ring. Websites number went through to service where it rung out.

Do you have any more info on what was done? Does heater element mean the heater core in under the dash? If so have a look around the firewall where heater hoses connect - European stuff tends to use plastic snap on connectors that are easy to break, especially if they’re old... There are not likely any hose clamps, it will be bespoke over engineered connector assemblies with o rings

LTiH - Telstra breaking something and killing my perfectly fine ADSL connection and refusing to fix it - forcing me into a nbn plan I don’t need or want.

Yep, we don't rely on the speed, and it has it's occasional hissy-fit, but it works for us.

We also don't have a phone cable into the house, so they installed the receiver for free

a flat piece of rough fabric with a soft sponge like side and an abrasive side (much like myself )
NOT two soft sponge like sides, that's a fucking sponge!

Not quite as bad as tubbsy.

van was serviced around 3 weeks ago. Pulled up at a job last week, had to move about 30 min later for a longer truck to back in and noticed a fresh puddle of oil about 5cm in diameter.
Have a look under and can see fresh oil dripping from the sump plug.
Took it back this arvo, service tech says it was loose and did it up correctly. Tells me no oil had been lost. Hmmmm

Yeah it only lost oil when you saw it dripping.

 

[Ultra Lord]

How the fuck do you not do a sump plug up tight enough.
Hims a dickhead.
New mechanic time foxy.

So I've read that Allan Joyce makes at 23.9M, 275X the average fulltime wage. Sadly it's made me realise I don't even make the average wage....

Some times life is unkind...so fuck it! Play by your own rules and lead an above average life.

Largely thanks to sacking the majority of the aircraft maintenance staff and sending the work overseas. Actually they claimed the work was being sent interstate from Melbs to QLD, then backflipped and claimed there wasn't sufficient capacity up north once everyone had been sacked.

Also didn't help they wouldn't allow staff retirement for several years to bloat the figures, and "accidentally" misquoted several tender applications by "accidentally" including multiple quantities of parts in the $10k -$100k range for units that only have a quantity of one installed.

Unfortunately they might restructure with foreign contract workers.
