What has made you Angry Today???????

Hijack time... I was at Powell industries the other day, former purple pig store.

They were selling the ice boxes for eskys made to transplant organs.

I reckon they would hold ice for days, the insulation was 100mm thick. Not sure if they were second hand or not ;)

Here's how my week has gone with this bloody Navara!

The 22" rims with low profile tyres didn't pass roady of course so needed to swap tyres for the rwc photo. Had to be done by Tuesday this week before it runs out and more $$.

Stud pattern looks the same from my work 94 Navara, no worries, easy job! Took a tyre off Sunday night and it doesn't fit...wtf?

Bit of research online yep, nissan changed the stud spacing on the d40 Navara only from 139.7mm to 115mm

Patrols, landcruiser, d22 navaras even bt50's all use 139.7mm

Bugger! I need a d40 by tomorrow!!!

Rosscos mrs couldn't help me out due to work and last resort was a work college who has a d40...phew!

Met him at 7am Monday morning for the swap over.

Spent the morning swapping all tyres over, drive 5m and heard a slight grinding???

Brake caliber is rubbing, why?

Found out the hard way that Nissan decides to change the entire calibers and hub assembly between 2011 and 2013!!!!

Had to put everything back to where it was and went and bought 4 x new Sunnys and all terrains!

If anyone wants any fully sick 22" "pure wheels" brand rims and low profiles for their Navara let me know!!!

Nissan has frustrated me this week beyond belief!!

I don't know why anyone would want low profiles on a 4wd either. It was like driving a skateboard on a dirt road around our area!!!

Rant complete ;)

Well it's official, it is definitely diesel coming out of the pump. How long have I got until it dies is hard to tell. Nonetheless, it'll be expensive on top of the coolant leak and manifold fix... It all adds up to a straight engine swap from wreckers.... Very annoying.

When you get a fab company to make something for you.you discuss how you want it via email and phone, agree on it, pay the money and when it turns up its is absolutely nothing like you discussed. Not even the thickness of the steel is what is is supposed to be.

So your left having to remake most of it yourself because they didn't make it the way THEY said they would and how it was agreed upon.

Yeah good point. I keep confusing the TPS in the pedal, with the throttle sensor before the intake. That is where I think the problem is. It has to be.
I'm unsure but it may be the throttle body, the butterfly might be stuck somewhat closed sometimes ...
Like this morning on my way to the service, drove like s#it. On the way home it was a Supercharged V8.
Boost gauge reads the same, so turbo is doing it's work. EGTs rise up as well, so fuel is being pumped in, but it just feels like there is air shut out of the engine somewhere along the line.

So more than 1800 (and counting) people just died in an earthquake... but I switch news on and that cockroach Bruce Jenner is first headlines ...

What is going on with Savoys? Drastically decreased the amount of salt on them, now they are just an awfully dry cracker with no flavour...

Jatz and Savoy are the same company, we conducted some controlled scientific testing while drunk at Cape Jaffa in January and believe the biscuits are the same too.

One of the wifes were sober and conducted the testing, it involved blind tasting of both types and I was blind drunk most of the week so I was very qualified to participate.

Arnotts Jatz originated in NSW and are made with Malt
Savoy originated in Vic and are made with Golden Syrup.
After they bought out the local Vic company making Savoy, Arnotts kept the Savoy going due to the brand loyalty in Vic (we all know how hard it is to teach a wood duck something new)

I get angry if I cant get my Pepper Jatz and Garlic Mussels... yuuuuuuuuuummmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Spot on. And tests were inconclusive.
After thinking about it later though the biscuit are only salted one side.
That side is easy to pic with the savoys due to its stamp. The jays is not stamped so its a guess at which is salted.

It was said the savoys are still made with the tradition golden syrup and jatzs didn't. That was really the only difference

Sprayed a bit of degreaser on the IP and gently hosed off, so that I or the mechanic can try and pin point where it's leaking from. Dried up and cleaned up all the diesel and gunk fine.
After a short drive there is now even more diesel leaking than prior to clean up, it's actually dripping onto the diff now... Happy times.

Yeah bugger, at least it's easy to identify now. Mine was doing the same, luckily it was just a cheap and easy seal that could be done on the car, cost just over 100 bucks. Hopefully you have the same luck. . .

I hope so too mate, but chances are slim as there is not much externally on these that can piss diesel out. Although, one thing I have on my side is the car is running and starts fine... So far. Fingers crossed. I'm gonna sit on it and see how it pans out.

Sorry to hear that Neil, pass on my best to Jess and the family please mate.

Just catching up on things and see your tough updates WA. Thoughts are definitely with you and the family. I'm sure it will be tough, but I'm also with Growler in that sometimes amazing things happen. Even in the midst of pain and sorrow you often see amazing strength of character and the best can come out as everyone pulls together to get through. Really hope the best comes out for your family in this situation mate.

[mudnut]

I am in tears, reading your post, wa.

And I really don't know what to write.

I hope your Father-In-law isn't in too

much pain and can be made comfortable

These are the times when being part of

a family really counts.

Let him know there are many of us

thinking of him and give him our best

I bought an Oregon branded chainsaw on fleabay brand new for $90 a while back. Still starts easy, cuts great and doesn't leak. :) Although the chain seems to loosen everytime I use it though... You win some, you lose some I guess...
Take a pic of it Eric. I bet you its the same as mine. I found the exact saw as mine in other shops, but in different colours. For a much inflated price.

Just sat down for a cuppa coffee and though I'd better open the days mail up. Wish I didn't. Letter 1, speeding fine @ 185.00, letter two, invoice from the accountant for buisness A @ $1400.00, letter three invoice from the accountant for business B, $2068.00, workcover insurance renumeration restimate, pay us another $198.36 please! Finally letter 4, 2014 personal income tax return of just shy over $5K payable to the ATO. Gawd! Talk about sucking someone dry!

Ah well! Atleast I'm prepared for it now. My old accountant left us with around 3K in ATO fine and late payment fee's and one step away from being put on the ATO's naughty list. Now I'm on top of things with the new accountant, it makes thing like this not feel so bad.

We have the farmboss sithl range at work and have never seen them leak bar oil, they sit in the back of the utes, and would have noticed if it leaked. MInd you the farmboss is the dearer range.
But this ALdi one spewed all oil it had in it out. Still sarted and cut fine. Just annoying.

Yep. Looks the same as mine, but mine is in orange. Just don't clean it Eric. Let the wood soak up the oil bud!:thumbup: And put it in your spare wheel bag when carrying it. I do this also with the fuel container. No petrol smells through the camper or car.
Whats a new chain worth for these things? I was given a sharpening kit but who can be bothered! New chain or if the price of the chain is close to the price of the saw. A new saw. Lol.

I've got the same saw. Replaced the chain with a Stihl brand one and all good. It used to leak bar oil but now it's been used a fair bit it has stopped leaking. Pretty good for the money.

What's the report Mark ? Wondering what's happened ...

Been too busy with everything else this weekend to do much. I have removed the surge tanks, no cracks, removed the hoses, no cracks, removed the radiator and filled it up and pressurised it, no leaks. No water was on the motor at all so I know its not anything on the motor. The motor went into a limp mode like state, I think its a safety thingo thats brought on when you loose coolant or temps get too high maybe to stop you from cooking it? I was able to drive it into the garage when it was off the tow truck and the limp mode state wasn't there.
I wash out the radiator fins and it was pretty dirty.
The cars is just sitting in pieces at the moment. It might be there for a day or two before I can touch it again though. I'm gonna replace all the hoses on the car while its apart...
The only thing I can think of where the coolant came from was where the lower hose is clamped onto the radiator. As this section basically points right to the wheel arch. The clamp used is one of those spring loaded clamps and I think these are used for a reason. If the system does pressurise, the clamp can let go and release the pressure. This way you don't bust a hose or split the radiator. Just grabbing at straws really. The reason it did it is, I think, the small pressure hose that goes from the radiator to the surge tank (which is under pressure also) might have been kinked or something and therefor the surge tank pressure cap couldn't release any excess pressure, so the radiator simply over pressurized until this clamp let go, let the excess water out and the clamp, tightened up again on the hose once the pressure was relieved. Like I said, just grabbing at straws. Everything checks out o.k otherwise.
When it happened, I was kinda hoping for the worst. Lol. Then this would have forced me to do the TD upgrade. Haven't really got the coin to do it but atleast it would make me start.

Sh!t happens. What topped the day off was when I was starting to pull the car apart, the inlaws turned up with my kids from taking them to Circus training and my youngest says she had left "doggy" her stuffed dog she's had since she was two, at circus training. So I have to clean up, and race down there, 45 minutes from home, in the hope that here doggy was still there, and then come home.
The things we do for our kids hey.

I tell ya I felt like telling her to take a spoonful of concrete as my day was busy and I was knackered from being up since 5.15am, but when her eyes started welling up and the chin had the wobbles I couldn't say no to her. Not that I wouldn't have anyway....

Haha! That thought crossed my mind too. But they had already done enough for me, looking after my girl on Friday night so I could get up early and go to the ARB sale. Then come and pick them up when my car broke down and take them to training.

AB only got our hopes up about Tapatalk, it's not working yet =(

[gq_simon]

Hey mudski, sonething I found when my gq was leaking coolant from the radiator cap (after two new caps and it was still leaking) was that the small over flow hose that goes to the overflow bottle was clogged with rust chunks. Cleaned it out and it was all good. It's a long shot from someone with extremely limited knowledge of cars :-) Hope it can help you or someone.

Finding out the grubbermint wants to tax everyone's saving again with a new tax.

No-one has a hope of getting by if it comes in, especially those who are travelling or using their savings in retirement or just saving in general.

Basically 3 taxes on your money at once, 1st being on your wages, 2nd on any interest (un-earnt income) over $470 (approx) from your savings and then 3rd if introduced is to tax your savings again.

Are we not one of the most taxed nations on the planet.....

Yes we are, we also have 1 of the most complicated tax systems to date.

Our tax system is also 1 if the most hated to process when it comes to payrolls and entitlements. Mrs OD does payroll and hates dealing with our ATO and associated areas

I'm trying to plan my retirement and have decided at this rate it will never happen, looks like I'll be working till I die (or I'm made redundant - then a whole new can of worms with trying to find a job at my age).
I've checked the family tree and no rich relatives unfortunately.

The there's GST and excise taxes to cap it off

Yeah that's a bummer hey! None of mine are either.
Some people get it so easy.

[oncedisturbed]

Recommendations from economists suggest withdrawing all savings out and invest in property, gold etc.

There is no info available on the impact it will have on banks yet but they see a mass exodus of accounts being closed.

Time to go down school and buy a money safe methinks and fill the gun safe, this is only for the coming zombie apocalypse ??

Maybe one will come out of the woodwork and contact me via a Nigerian lawyer based in Portugal, could be lucky. If it happens Winnie I'll get him to dig up a long lost rich relative for you as well.

That'd be great, thanks mate!

Ordered foxtel as a bundle through Telstra on the 6/4 online, requested an install for 8 days later. Five days later got conformation email that an install has been confirmed for 13/5. Phone conformation on 8/5 to check everything was still good, I confirmed, got another phone conformation today. This time they had a different address and the system had generated a cancelation. One an a half hours later and being transferred between 5 different people from Telstra and foxtel, they are going to honor the 13/5 install, not without a fight.
Well we will see what happens.
I dropped Telstra years ago, have only gone back as I thought it was easier and better to have it altogether.
Not a good start.

[Hodge]

Good luck Jay see. Welcome to the world of ludicrous bill stuff ups, amongst other incompetent crap they're gonna throw at you...

Good luck with this mate already in the blunder box it will only get worse
see what happens if you try to cancel now

[threedogs]

Miserable day weather wise in Melb today.

[jay see]

Nah, no chance of canceling, the phone and internet got transferred within two weeks of me putting in the order.
Got a text this morning to confirm my booking for tomorrow. I replied yes as instructed. We wait and see.

And that is the case, one bloke is the son of the managers and he has on numerous occasions had dummy spits and just left work without telling anyone, I would put money on it that he never received any written warnings and yet he is still there :(

[Woof]

Happens all the time mate, went out to my old workplace in Bathurst to catch up with some friends, was surprised to see a lot of drop kicks are still working there and the good ones are gone

Idiots that drive around with either an illegal HID upgrade sinking in everyone's eyes or the dumb arses in pos cars that's headlights point directly into the on coming traffic instead of the road ahead i swear I'm going to start caring a Led Lenser X21 and just spotlight idiots when they blind me!

Oh didn't make me angry just mixed emotions and melencolly (could be reason I'm so ticked off over a little thing) my supervisor at work passed away on the weekend he was a good bloke and only 47 yet died from a suspected heart attack was a fairly big shock.

Fair bit of that going on at my work lately. Same sort of thing about who they pick. It's a huge company with lots to choose from and they let go really good guys. Some make sense, but others certainly don't. Doesn't make anyone feel safe as there is no obvious logic in what is going on.

[MEGOMONSTER]

I've been flat on my back since Sunday have back muscle spasms constantly. I gets a little looser then bang again all tensed up.

My kid (15) was being an arsehole at school, knocked a desk over and injured a nearby girl as a result. We got the call from the school teacher and discussed it with him when he got home from school. Asked him to write an apology to the girl, or receive a grounding and still be made to write an apology. He got pissed at the options, refused to apologise and told us "SEE YA!" and stormed out the door. He now refuses to come in the house, so we put a pillow and blanket at the front door for him.

All of this a day after taking him into town for Cold Rock icecream (which i had to near mortgage the damn house to afford) and spending some family time together. Someone please nominate me for worst parent in the world... clearly im doing something wrong by having boundaries, discipline, putting a roof over his head, a warm meal at night, a comfortable place to sleep, a computer and a console, taking him on holidays, giving him an education, loving him and his mother... heck, a night out in the cold might do him a world of good to see how good he's got it.

Fkg kids. :furious:
