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

[the evil twin]

Nearly finished putting the front diff back together, all i need to do is rattle on the nuts for the tie rod. You think i can find where the bloody 22mm impact socket is! I spent a good hour searching and its nowhere to be seen! Argh!

People that enter into a contract to purchase a property, then ask for an extension for "finance reasons", then it becomes clear... they had no hope of getting finance.

Had that happen to me when we sold up in Gosford to move to Perth.
We were pretty devo'd by it, actually.
They had nothing like the money and tried to kick us in the nuts until we were down to what they did have or could get anyway.
Wanted 50K off for a damp reading in the 2nd bathroom internal wall and another 50K for a sagging ridge beam in the roof.
I fixed them both for change out of $7,000
Took another few months to sell after getting it back on the market etc.

[mudski]

It's not on the last nut or bolt you tightened? Done that once or twice
Yeah i did that once when putting the tailshaft back on. 40 minutes later i stop to see what the vibration was and found the socket still on the nut.
But to your question. No. I only use the 22mm for the tie rod and drag link nuts. I put the drag link back on Wednesday night. So ive lost if since then. Gawd! Where is it?


You know I'm 5 mins and a phone call away......

Thanks Eric. You may get a call tomorrow. ..

Yeah, we had that when selling our last place. They stuffed us around for months with several 'extensions'. When they requested a 4th extension we gave them a 2 day deadline. Come up with the money or property goes back on the market at 3pm. Went back on the market at 3pm & had a new prospective buyer the same day...... & they bought it. We were lucky I reckon.

[Yendor]

Thanks ET and Cuppa. I just don't understand why people do that.

The funniest things is, I just received a call from the real estate agent and they have a new buyer that is offering way more then the other losers. So hopefully things will work out for me.

Not always the buyers fault for needing extensions Rodney. My sister is going through it now where the house is on the market for just over 600g and the bank done a "Desktop" evaluation for 450g so they said she wasn't getting the money even though if they got of there ass and actually viewed the house and done their homework on sales values in the area they would know the house would be valued a hell of a lot more

Anyhow, good luck with your sale

You had me thinking last night. I was going over everything in my head. I was at a loss. So i went to bed. Then all of a sudden when i was not thinking about it, the bloody light bulb went off! The caliper bolts are 22mm. I laid in bed for about an hour thinking about it and i couldnt get to sleep so i went out to teh garage to check and guess what?
The bloody socket is hanging off the bottom caliper bolt.

Finally got the shites with the 'key in ignition' alarm so searched the forum and found the 'easy' fix! Thought I should get some help but seemed easy and what could go wrong...

So ended up with fine copper wire and bits of plastic all over the place ! Tried to glue / solder etc but no dice. Looks like a new IMMU thingy is needed. Any ideas to the best place to get one fast ?

More disappointing than angry with an auto supplier using e-bay.
Place an order and paid on the 17th April, its still not here, maybe tomorrow?
Tracking with Aus post shows latest update on the 26th.
Their site says delivery should have been between 21st to 27th April.
They used to be so good to deal with, got to wonder what has happened.
Sure there are supply issues sometimes, as the order is for 3 items they could send what they have or at least contact me to let me know what is happening.
Two and a half weeks when they were basically overnight is as the opening line says... disappointing.

[Winnie]

Is that a problem with the vendor, or Australia post?

[Hodge]

Auspost. Had the same issue when my redarc was arriving that store in Bairns dale. They sent it gave me tracking the same day of purchase. Then it was stuck with auspost for 8 days God knows where. Tracking bar code and sticker on the parcel proved the day of send so the store wasn't bullshitting me .

Winnie it says on e-bay, sent on 26th, 9 days after payment.

So both are causing the delay

[Cuppa]

I've bought from that vendor on numerous occasions & although I've recommended them both on price & the fact that they are official Redarc re-sellers (so Redarc warranty applies - unlike some ebay sellers) on a number of occasions I have always found their communication to be virtually non existent. I learned years ago just to trust that my orders from them would arrive, which they always have. All vendors may have supply delays at times, & a little communication can go a long way & in an instance like this I reckon it might be well worthwhile sending autoelecau a polite reminder of that.

[macca]

Cuppa, I have done exactly that with no response as yet, the money disappears from my Paypal account in an instant. Maybe they leave it there until dispatch. Fat chance of that happening.

It's the total lack of communication that is the problem, if its a quick transaction there really isn't any need for comms. It's when the delivery is delayed a bit of information would be nice.

While typing this the door bell rang, so now it is delivered.

[macca]

Turns out it appears to be an Aus Post problem, The item is not marked as sent until it passes through a scan at a major DC (distribution centre?) What happen in the 9 day from payment until then is the question.

Its disappointing. It only takes 5 days to get a box full of parts from dubai. The longest I have waited is 6 days from the us.

Auspost give me the shits. I don't understand how things like that can take 9 days but it happens often. I always track my deliveries and they do sit in one place for days at a time. It has taken 2 weeks for me to get something from Melbourne (150km away)

The list of things the pup has destroyed because its too wet to go out.

1 shoe cupboard, I had to screw some sheet metal around the bottom, replace the screws on the hinges, and fit a lock.
2 packets of ping pong balls
1 pot plant which had mint planted in it.
3 shoelaces
1 camping chair, which she used to sit on.

We bought a watch for one of our workers from Donington in England, it took 3 & 1/2 days to be delivered to our door in Old Bar, amazing service!

Aus Post here loses our outgoing invoices regularly, we send reminders and the customers ring up very upset.

The Aus Post response is to register each individual letter at extra cost and time. And to ice the cake we have never been asked which post office we use, there might be a common denominator that can be traced and the problem fixed. A bloody lousy service, not what it used to be.

Copped my kids cold yesty. Feeling like total shite! Had to go to the dentist at 5.15. Got saturated going from my car to the dentist. I needed a busted tooth fixed, that I broke nearly 18months ago when we did a Tallarook trip, so I had to get a needle in the gum. No biggie. Had that many times before. The dentist got his Dremel out and started to lay into me and I near hit the roof. Another needle. No worries. But this time in the roof of my mouth! Hurt like a bitch but we got it done. The dentist takes an xray and says the tooth is shattered and cracked right through. He will need to drill right through it and pin it. Then rebuild over half the tooth as it was gone.
Before I leave the dentist says to me that once the drugs wear off you will feel some discomfort. But it will get better in time. I tried to respond but my numbed up mouth and lips like Marcia Hines with dribble coming out prevented any human like response. I just waved and left...
Discomfort! OMFG! The pain is that intense right now I can feel it down my neck and up in my eye socket. So as well as coughing, sniffing and sneezing, I got this massive tooth ache. I might just stay up all night tonight and cuddle my bottle of Jack in front of the telly and watch some SBS prOn. Lol.

Not angry. Just having a whine. I need a drink to wash down the Panadol for the pain and the Pseudoephedrine tabs for the cold....

The both contain paracetamol, and the doctor should advise you not to take them side by side. Tbh tho you would need to take a shit load of paracetamol for your liver to shut down (which is what paracetamol will do if you take to much)

Made a blue there, didn't accept the answers I was being given, ended up I have been banned from buying from them ever again!
I was supposed to suck it all up, but as I gave them a neutral feedback I am a customer that is in the "too hard basket".
In nearly 30 years of buying for our business, working as a purchasing officer for Siemens at Portland Smelter construction, as an acting engineer and electrical contract manager on various gold treatment sites across Australia I have never experienced something like this, ever.
Oh well suppose I have to buy from overseas now and not concern myself about Australian jobs. If it wasn't so funny I would cry LOL.

Edit;
Tracking says 9 days from order/payment to notification to Aus Post and 2 days later Aus Post processed order. Thinking Aus Post did their part.
I appear to have been lied to, they are blaming Aus Post yet they knew nothing about it.
Because I questioned this I was labelled a PITA customer and banned. Shame as they are generally a very good mob to deal with.

Watching video footage from a mate ( happened close 2 a year ago now ) that is pretty damn clear for 2am of a guy with a torch looking into both his cars and lifting the handles then walking away and the cops weren't interested in the footage as the guy never actually broke into the cars and stole anything.

Family friends crd just let go. Well something let go... wish I got the phone out in time as the white smoke behind him was spectacular! He shut it down before I got to pull over but said there was a jack hammer like knocking noise that scared the shit out of their kids before he lost most of the power...
He has warranty still and car is stock but our day we planned for a long time is ruined.
It's on a flat bed heading to ftg Nissan . It's a 2012 crd.

Dont the some CRD's have an issue with the oil pickup dropping off in the sump and therefor no pickup oil? I did read this somewhere. Either way not good. Under warranty i suppose but it would be interesting to see what the cause is and what Nissan do about it.

I think the early CRD's had oil pump pickup getting loose issues.
I forgot to mention this oil coming out the exhaust after it happeend, the towie put a rag in the pipe to stop it going everywhere.
Hopefully it was just the turbo...
Sometime next week he'll know... 2012, 48k on the clock.

I had issues when they sent mine. It ended up just sitting at the transport depot in Tullamarine for a few days and the transport co weren't sure if it was there. Then they'd say it was. I go to pick it up and i get there and then they'd say its not there. Rinse and repeat a few times it was there the whole time. I just boiled down to the guys you pick up from at the depot werent really looking to hard as they hold it in a separate area, security gate, same premises though, and it was a case of too hard for me, im not looking for it.
I clearly remember the guy at the depot whinging and whining every time i was there saying i dont get paid to look for parcels.
Sounds like they are doing it again.

We would do the same, but if there is a fire, we would loose power and be unable to contact emergency services. I used to have a mobile, but grew to absolutely hate it. No joke, I used to have to sit on the veranda roof to get a signal here at home. The signal is better now but I borrow my wife's phone for travelling.

He gets back to me at 11 today, been asleep for 1 1/2 hours and tells me that they can come today at 12.30.

Unfortunately driving them like this doesnt help at all. You need to drive these things. Keeps the temps up and air flowing. Ones that are babied tend to be the worst compared to ones that are driven properly and tow a lot.

I suggested that to him as a possible cause. The thing has never really been opened up or pushed and somethings gone pear shaped in there.
He asked for photos etc and Nissan failed to take any before sending the block away.

Yes it was. I installed a switchboard, gpo's, and extended the earth grid at one of the local towers and the corporation that oversee's this whole shitfight didn't know their elbow from their arse. They told us how much they'll pay for the job, which had good margins.........cream margins actually, but kept making all these changes throughout the job wh7ch we just due to oversights on their behalf or the fact they had no farken idea what they were doing . Which is a variation of original plan...... turns the job into hourly rate. They change it again and again and add more stuff........more hour hourly rate, more cost for a farken simple job. I've been in mining and seen the incompetance the mining sector has to offer, but they have nothing on this mob. They wanted us to do more tower sites, even with the huge margins my boss didnt want to deal with their shit fight

[Hodge]

Unfortunately like Ben-e-boy (http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/member.php?1281-Ben-e-boy) we have to deal with these incompetent fools almost on a daily basis as they utilize our assets (poles).
Making it worse is the fact nearly all the desks / people we engage with are overseas with sub-par English.
The amount of $ wasted on large scale re-conductoring and pole replacement jobs that have gone ass over head due to Telstra is absolutely staggering.

Pull the flare seals out and chuck em. They just keep sh!t in behind and water out.. Then give the flares a good flush every wash. You would not believe how much wet mud is at the bottom of those flares. Found out when i pulled the flares off mine once. Seals gone for good and much less mud stays there when you can run good water behind them.

[happygu]

There is a gap in the back of the flare - right in the middle of the wheel arch. Spray the hose in there both ways, towards the front, and then towards the rear until the water runs clear ..... I do that as the first thing, whilst I am cleaning out the wheel arches.

Also the small rear barn door molding holds heap of dust too, so I do the same with the hose on the sides of the Patrol badge ... takes a little longer than the flares usually

This makes cleaning the rest of the car easier later on when you are washing the dirt off .... no mud streaks

Sorry to hear about your back Jon. i have had some moments with replacement hips and such like so I have some idea of what you are going through. About the alternator, I have done two over the years and both due to water. One going for a bit of a swim and one because I got over enthusiastic with a pressure washer. Wondering if yours has anything to do with your recent burst hoses and if some water got to the alternator?

I have a guy that's local who has a Di alternator from his Patrol 165k
on auction for $30 start. I have the money just need to confirm if its a straight swap.
Seller has no idea so just wondering if any members have dealt with them before.
Prefer to buy the new one though.

You know you have to remove the shroud and air intake easy after that

Ran over my phone today.....

Luckily it isn't one of those $1000 ones. It still works fine, but the screen has looked better, if it was an iphone it would have been in the bin by now. Must say something if it can handle a GU rolling over it.

I've run over my iPhone with a car. Put a tiny little scratch on it. Expected it to be smashed.

not so much angry. I got the G6eT's gearbox serviced yesterday, which is the first time I have paid for any servicing ever. the bastard takes $300 worth of oil..... to top it off. I can't find a manual so I can do it myself.

I thought they supposedly only need servicing every 100,000kms though?

I think it's 100,000kms or every 6 burnouts, whichever comes first

The joys of running full synthetic trans oil haha.... Refilling is a two man job mate and is a bit of a PITA but not so hard. I do hope you changed the original trans cooler with an aftermarket one or swapped it out for an oem one.....

Ther isn't really any listed for it. My car has done a few power cruise events and down the 1/4 so more frequent service intervals can't really hurt

Yeap, been looking forwards to this, sit down and the bloody phone rings between adds to top it right off.

Probably roughly close to what you paid which seems average, but i try and source paper gaskets for them which vary the price depending where i get it from

Stupid freakin' Airport Security screening...

They confiscate or make you check in any item sharper than a #%$@# basketball.
Then you can go to the Qantas Club where there are, like, 30,000 knives you can choose from to walk straight onto the plane with?

Maybe terrorists only travel cattle class.

I got stopped in sydney airport for having a 6mm ring spanner that was about three inches long in my backpack(I'd forgotten it was even in there). You'd swear I was going to try and unbolt a wing or some sh1t.

At Melbourne airport [Tulla] you could go buy any knife tor item that had been confiscated and buy it for $2.
I had a very small folded knife that fit in my wallet, they took that too. GGrrrrrrr

What are a shit of a day for Leah!

Went to Grensborough shopping centre and someone tried to break into the hard top lid of the navara, ruined both locks!

Then gets a voice mail from the "ato" informing her of not lodging tax and not signing docs and there is now a warrant out for her arrest...lol

Hehehe... we had that ATO scam call a few weeks ago.
Gave the idiot a whole heap of abuse and told them even other scamsters thought their attempt was weak as piss.
Feels good telling someone from the ATO they are dickheads even if the aren't really from the ATO.

Bloody shame about the real life wankers damaging the car tho, mate
