Can I sit down at the main drag in Figtree with an esky full of coldies and take FLASH ! photographs of all the w@nkers with fog lights on ?
Then send the photos into the media and stir up a big sh!tstorm.

Absolutely fed up with twits who think their car needs to have 4x headlights to dazzle other drivers.
Sometimes it gets the better of me and I unleash the "bunny burners" "rakers" and 100w high beams - but that's just being as bad as them.

One clown followed me up the F6 (or whatever they call it now) with enough lights in my mirrors to run a rock concert
followed me up the exit too.
So I stopped at the traffic lights and lit up the rear flood lights.
Took him 2x sets of "greens" to realise he was going nowhere until he dimmed the w@anker circus.
So I extinguished the floods, waited till the lights were amber/red and left him behind to think about it.

Have seriously thought about taking the wire cutters down to Maccas and snipping all the wires to the "P" platers fog lights in the car park.

Ahh - feel better now, love a good rant.
now - where did I put those wire cutters ?

FREIGHT COMPANIES!!!! Ordered my exhaust manifold gasket that was supposed to turn up this morning, but freight company didn't pick it up 😤😤😤 rang everyone from east Gippsland to Pakenham looking for 1 to no avail , the only people that have them in stock aren't open - ie : Nissan sales open but spares not open & the sales side won't help - I rang on the off chance Mudski but you're right . 😤

Wading or should I say sinking, into the fetid, reeking cesspool of Gov't Departments, websites, backflips, jargon, doubletalk, contradictions and absolute horseshit of Human Services, Veterans Affairs etc trying to figure out 1 simple thing... am I entitled to an age pension and, if so, how $#%@$% much...

JEEZUS $#$%%^%$ CHRIST !!!!

How hard can it be to have even an online calc for "the dude" has this much asset $ for the asset test and this much income for the income test.
But Hell No that is all too hard, every time you end up having to 'go to a Human Services Centre to lodge this or that' 'cause prior to 01 April the amount = to 38.2% of the unfunded income is deemed to earn something even if it doesn't but only if the moon wasn't up when the constitutionally protected asset was purchased less an offset of 10 gigglefarts per 100 accrued if the life expectancy divide by Pi is less than 5 times the price of the cakes used for Smoko in 1983.

Anyone been to one of those soul destroying, rancid Human Service Branch shitholes and had to deal with the apathetic nuff nuff staffing the joint, not one of which can even begin to start to sort out an issue without 3 x 15 minute phone calls and 2 consultations with another staffer even more pissed off than them?
Even after a half dozen attempts you still end up going back after the wrong advice with the wrong evidence, wrong forms and WRONG %$#^^%$ ATTITUDE so you get asked to leave by Security who is the only dipstick in the joint who actually knows his job!!!!!!!

Know what you mean - Centrestink seem to be able to take a simple task and F.U.B.A.R. it so bad it will take months to sort out.
Tip - when you have to deal with Centrestink, plead illiterate or dislexic (can't read or write/understand) Tell them you are unable to use internet or read/understand the paperwork because of your disability.
They then have to provide you with someone who can translate the academian language the forms are written in, fill out the paperwork for you and submit it to centrelink with their name attached as the person that helped submit the forms.
Fight them with their own stupidity I say !

The next challenge will be NSW RTA - changed to the RMS and now combined into "Service NSW" which is just a template copy of the chaotic inefficiency of Centrestink.

Nah mate I have plenty of experience with buyers and non payers in the store.
Dealing with eBay themselves is worse. A customer purchased some items, they sent me a message saying they bought the wrong parts can they return them for the correct parts. I said yes, the customer does the right thing and lodges it through eBay so they know he's returning the items. I get a message from eBay last week saying the customer has sent the items and I need to refund the buyer by the 26th, today. Well I haven't received the items back yet and eBay will refund the buyer! WTF! So I lose out. Even though the customer hasn't given any tracking details of the returned items, just their word.

Negative rating here we come
Yeah I will give the buyer another day maybe then I'll lodge a non payer dispute. Then relist them. Bloody spewin though as the coin from these is going towards paying for the engineers report.

Well not today as such but;
Thursday last week - (1) The drivers window on the Kia work truck broke the winder cable and dissapeared into the door. (2) It immediatly started raining. No matter use the Merc Vito Van.
Friday last week - The Vito blows a turbo. Much smoke and tow truck to pay for. Track down on line a recon turbo and a window winder.
Saturday - going out with another clubbie and Patrol making a strange noise on start up. Went away before I could track it down.
Monday - Patrol won't start in morning - eventually get it happening and test it at work - two glow plugs stuffed. Order Glow plugs.
Tueaday - vendor rings to inform me they only have two glows in stock. Start hunting around for another set at a reasonable rate. Email service to work crashes for a couple of hours.
Wednesday - Email back up. Bunch of stuff from yesterday. Wade through all that and Good news at last - vendor has found glowplugs and dispatched.
Can hardly wait for tomorrow. Oh yea, the Patrol is still the only vehicle running, turn to glow wait for light to go out, repeat, repeat, repeat then start.:blowup:

Cheap crap connectors! The anti theft system I designed and fitted was playing up. It was doing very strange things like letting me start the car then shutting it down, or the starter worked but the engine wouldn't fire and occasionally doing its job and locking out everything. I went through the wiring the other day and even soldered the connectors at the crimp. It worked for a couple of days then played up this morning. Pulled everything apart and tested all wiring and connectors. I finally noticed that a bullet connector would rotate slightly when the wires were cable tied. The bloody thing was tight to pull out, but loose inside! I ripped out the lot of them and replaced them with Narva connectors.

First world rant i admit...

Wtf is with tv guides these days? I spend a fair bit of time on the road in motels, cabins etc. Why, oh why, are tv guides so user unfriendly? I have a panasonic tv at home and the guide couldnt be easier or quicker, but every single motel, cabin etc has a tv that is easier to change from one channel to the next to see whats on. Tonight a samsung tv that has to load up data every time i drop down through the guide. Every press!! Farrrrrr!! Should just read a bloody book. Is panasonic the only brand with a good guide??
Yeah my Sammy 60incher does the same. So i dont use the guide, i use the info button and flick that way.

Why would you use bullet connectors? I banned them from our work years ago.

[mudnut]

'Cause I have never had trouble with them before. I have had a fair few spade lugs fail. I couldn't even tell you where I got the cheaper ones though, but never again.

Happy, nervous but angry lol... News just in.
Got the papers today for my procedure on 25th so I won't be in a condition to drive up to Licola and have a good time without being pumped with antibiotics etc... I had to accept the date otherwise I'll be waiting for many months. So had to pull out of Licola trip regretfully.

The procedure won't be as severe as initially predicted, but nonetheless it'll be enough to throw me around, and definitely won't be in condition to drive up there 5 days after the process.
Spewing but it is , what it is.

Hey mate hope the procedure went well and you're recovering!!

The current Cooper Tires promo.

It says save $300 on a set of Coopers. I'm the market for some tyres, then I read the fine print during the ad.

The saving applies to a set of 35x12.5x20 STTs only as far as I could read.

How many people are going to buy a set of 35 muds with 20" rims???

My experience with average workshops and customer service -

Am typically pretty fussy when it comes down to who works on my car and what goes in it, so tend to shop around quite a bit. For the past 10 years or so we have always used the same workshop for all our cars for general servicing and they have been faultless in that respect. Whenever we thought about buying a car we would book it in for an inspection, would say he has definately saved me from a few lemons over the years.

With the Patrol there wasn't an opportunity to inspect it due to distance (down the coast). Anyway it was love at first site and just had to get it and figured once I got it home would book it in asap. So I booked it in for a once over and advised them to sort out the front wobble at the same time please call me if there are any issues. Meantime like most I jumped on the net to see if I could find anything at all on this issue, sure enough found 1000's of hits talking about it which was a little upsetting but same time felt confident they would sort it as it was a common issue it seemed.

Dropped it into my trusted mechanic on the day and awaited the inevitable phone call which I suspected would be something like
"yeah mate we found the problem, yeah we can sort it out no worries but it ain't gonna be cheap blah blah..." to my suprise no phone call, thought great they've sorted it. So go to collect car and $500 later I get my keys back, along with the suggestion it should go back to Nissan as it looks like a design issue, thanks see ya later. "Hang on what about the rest of the car" I says and was directed at a small leak on the diff other than that all good. Great I thought as I jumps in and fire it up. Driving home wtf, not only to find the problem wobble still there and if am not mistaken worse, it seems to be struggling to gain revs. so I pull up and callthe workshop office back suggesting the situation is now worse and bordering on dangerous and maybe someone should have suggested this when i picked it up and what exactly did they do to it and what are they going to do. Apparently it got a full tyre balance and rotate and a service, yes but what about the wobble?.. at which point the conversation started to derail as he was not expected to know every little thing that happened in his workshop and this was a specialised issue.

Anyway after the dust settles it appears I have lost a friendship with what i thought was a decent mech and basically been handed my hat and asked to take it elsewhere for that issue ... like Nissan. Am a bit wary of service centres as have been stung more than once with some really expensive services, but in anger I ring Nissan service anyway at which point am advised it could be anything and can get quite costly. Wow am thinking to myself if this guy thinks its going to be exy than I better start worrying. He says they had one bloke there who was experienced on these issues but he was on holidays though they would still be happy for me to bring it in for a look ($$$).

So now what, back onto the Net and start trawling the forums etc. I drove up the coast, I drove down the coast and spoke to anyone with an opinion. Finally worked my way to my current new mechanic, who has been nothing short of stellar in sorting my wagon out - decent bloke to boot.

[10G]

Out of curiosity, what caused your wobble?

[Dan02]

couldn't point the finger at one thing and say yep that was it, the car is 16 years old and everything under there appeared original /old required a lot of sorting

[10G]

Oh yep. Good it's all fixed now.

[taslucas]

And hence very hard for a mechanic to pinpoint. Unfortunately good mechanic or bad mechanic, the dreaded wobbles seem to have as many cures as causes and sometimes even people in the know will have to simply start replacing parts until it disappears. It's sad that you lost a friend and trusted workshop over it even after you trawled the internet and came up with the very many causes.

Edit: my gq has over 430,000 ks on it and everything is very well flogged out under the front of it yet the wobbles are just barely perceivable occasionally.... where-as a friends GU with small tyres and less than 100,000 on it has the wobbles come and go regularly

fair enough but couldn't they offer something... even a " well we're stuffed mate, but we're gonna hang onto it as its not really safe ATM" . The day Mike saw it, he came back with a list of issues and advised me to take it back to the bloke who did the roadworthy to get them to fix the leaking rear bearing seal. I did exactly that. I wouln't have known to do that otherwise. He then gave me a comprehensive list of all the bits needing a look at. Let me say there were some biggies in there that my previous Mech should have spotted a mile away so to speak.

Well it's disappointing what has happened.. and unfortunate.
I hope the new mechanic hangs on..
Unfortunately the wobbles are one of those issue that you can nail first time or spend heaps of time chasing. .
My gq had half a million on it before the wobbles were bad enough to warrenty a fix..
But at half a million I pulled the whole front end and rebuilt the lot..
Bushes bearing seals the lot..
After I didn't need a steering dampener it was that good..
But I fitted one to reduce the force of self steering in things like ruts etc..

I always suggest start with the free stuff.
Try nipping up wheel bearings or removing a shim from the king pin bearings..
Then if do able try greasing the joints. The grease will take up the slop and provide a temp fix, enough to deem it's fixed or not..
The last move onto bushes..
These have to be pressed out so can be costly if you can't do them yourself..

Imo a new dampener is a bandaid fix but plenty offer that as first fix..
It just masks any underlying issues..

Hopefully it's a short fix mate but as said can be one of the last things tried..

A friends father has it as well, not sure what he has done but his tremors are better now.

It's definitely a PITA...but like everything life keeps on going, don't let it keep you behind.
All the best..

Hats off to the nurses and docs at the Royal children's though, that is a very sad place to be!!!

Farken ebay add has farked me..
Bought a poly box for the van to fit portaloo and other loose ends in..
Add stated 500 high and 8mm wall..
I ask if my 450 mm tall loo will fit..
They said yes..
So outlay a fair lump of cash..
Well turns up today and they failed to mention that it may be 8mm thick but it's double skinned and it has ridges in the bottom..
Max height is 435!!!!
That's a huge difference from 500mm with an 8mm wall!!!!
Farken pissed....

One of my best mates is a Muslim - couldn't get a better aussie, loves his footy and cricket, doesn't drink a lot but does at times like boys weekends. Married a catholic girl too. And yes we have D&M's about the ways of the world and we don't always agree, but we always have respect for each others opinion. Good blokes are good blokes. Sh!t blokes are sh!t blokes don't matter where your daddy was born.

F@#kng insurance companies again. A few nights ago my wife backed her car into her dad's car what can you do s*** happens her first accident in over 20 years of driving. Ring the insurance company and to put it short they're going to fix her car minor damage but they're not going to fix the father in-laws car that's got a nice big whopping dent in it back quarter panel. The reasoning for this they put it as a subrogation claim. So it's ok to accidentally crash into a stranger but just don't do it to a family member on your own driveway.To make things worse he can't claim either he's only got 3rd party.

Couldn't agree more...

The ACT just passed into law that it is illegal to "ridicule" a religion and mentions items in possession like clothing, media, cartoons etc.
Potentially thousands of $ fine and some time in the slammer if you have the 'wrong' T shirt in your bag
The twisted logic is that it means, for example, that the 'Charlie Hebdo Massacre' wouldn't have happened because the paper wouldn't have been allowed to print what they did and piss off the poor oppressed terrorists.

Can't wait to see how the ACT handle the Australian if Bill Leake has a crack at them... going to have to arrest a lot of people for having a Newspaper

Also means that it is not illegal to burn the Australian Flag but it is now illegal to burn the Isis Flag (religious text) in the ACT... how $#%$#$ up is that!!!!

Wadda we want?

Not really angry, just annoyed. I get a call from 4x4 Obsession today. The engineers report is all good. The rwc is not. They use the workshop next door for their roadys and they gave me a list as long as my arm. Window tint, yeah i know that was too dark, no biggie. Remove the tint. Pretty much every suspension bush front and rear they failed, and both engine mounts. Even though the mounts are 12 months old, and all the bushes were only change not even six months ago when i was trying to decifier the front end knock i had.
So Brett was going to chuck it up on the hoist and look for themseves and speak to them and get back to me. He didnt so im hoping he has sorted it. Or he hasnt put it up on the hoist yet.

Last weekend while building the cook run the gate I was welding slipped from my glove while turning it and the just welded section landed right on my wrist!!!!
What a carnt of a spot. Rubs on everything..
Nothing will stay affixed to that section due to the movement in all directions..
So I've let it start to scab over and it worse..
Back to the soloist to atleast free it up..
If it scabs it'll tear itself apart and be even worse!!

You'll get there mate. It always happens right before a big trip. Remember what happened 12months ago right before my QLD trip? Anything and everything possible went wrong and I got gastro 2 days before our departure. Things got worse with the car by the time we got to Dubbo but we made it up there, and we had an absolute ball. Can't wait to do it again.
MB and @AB. Not sure of your sleeping arrangements when your on Fraser but I have a double swag here you are welcome to take if need be. I also have the 47L ARB fridge/ freezer here aswell. Plus a 75L Engel combi too. They are here if you want.
Might be a good idea to have a fridge each, and use one as a freezer for both families and the other just as a fridge.

Easy enough as long as no bits get stuck inside the mechanism.
I replaced mine a couple of years ago and bent it again the next day. :(

You have probably found out how to do it but incise this is Yendors instructions below.

Are you just replacing the rope and mast or the whole unit including the motor?.

If it's just the rope and mast, unscrew the nut on top and remove the shroud that sits between the nut and the top of the guard.

Then just turn the radio on and pull upwards on the aerial mast at the same time, the old rope and mast should pull out. Sometimes it can be corroded and very difficult to get out.

Make sure you remove all the old rope, sometime it can break and leave a piece stuck in there.

To fit the new one just hand feed it in as far as it will go and then turn the radio off and gentle feed it back down as the aerial motor pulls it down.

If you have difficulty remove the old rope and mast you may need to remove the whole aerial from the vehicle.

Had the Patrol 30000 km service at the dealer (that should be enough to make me mad)
When I got it back I checked all the things that should have been done (and weren't), filled in the dealers feedback, heard nothing back.
Filled in the Nissan feedback form a week later, got the call from the Service Manager an hour later, arranged for to do what was required.
Good points, they changed the air filter & filled it with fuel to make up for having to bring it back.
Bad points, when they did take the wheels off to inspect the brakes, they used pliers on the wheel nut torque indicators and damaged them, I now have scratches on 2 rims that look like a wheel nut has spun in the rattle gun across the surface, the torque indicators were not put back pointing to the centre. Service Manager said he personally took the wheels off & did not do the damage.

A motorbike shop scratched my bike CB 900 bol d when they removed the split pin
on the rear axle and used plyers to remove it scratching all the alignment marks.
To say I was miffed was an understatement let fly at the owner never to return.
Then every month for 2 years I received a letter apologizing and my bike was due foe a service.

[mudski]

Tried jacking bolts in the nose cone, had em near snapping point..
Then swapped to a jacking bolt setup and was bending 5mm plate..
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2016/08/286.jpg
Hmm. Theres a cover plate that needs to come off first. Using 3 bolts, i think they are 6mm thread, evenly screw them in and the cover plate comes off. Then you need to remove the centre nut, and theres a circlip in there too from memory. A gear puller is needed now to remove the pulley.
Once the pulley is off you need to press the bearing out. The centre part of the pulley flexes so make sure it stays in the same position when removing and installing the new bearing because if you dont the pulley wont be centred on the pump when you put it back together and the pulley will be out of alignment with the rest of the pulleys.

Close..
But yes that plate has the 3 jacking bolts in it. 3 @ 5mm
Removed the middle bolt first, it holds the nose cone/ cover plate in.
Had them done up to nearly snapping and no go..
So made up the jacking plate to try and budge it but ended up bending the plate. . (3rd bolt is behind middle jacking bolt..)
She is seized on good..
Once plate is off then cir clip and puller to get pullie off...

But never got that far..

Telstra vindaloo call centres. Farrrrr!!! Recharged work mobile last week, out of credit this week but usually gets me through the month. Spent 40 minutes and a cutoff going farrrrking nowhere. No idea where data has gone and about mental trying to figure it with the call centre with their responses being yes, no, yes, no, of course sir, never sir, yes we can, no we cant answers to the same farrrrrrking question around and around in an ever-deepening cesspool of non communication and non comprehension. WTF???? No fkkking wonder I hate these crunts so much they can go fk themselves with the biggest fking steam driven pile driver ever invented.

I have a Hellstra $30 pre paid. I have so it automatically recharges. Plus I never call them, I use their online chat thingo'. Much easier that ringing them.

True that, but unless youre operating far regional it doesnt make much difference. I use aldi mobile and get better prepaid rates and never have reception issues because they use the devil's infrastructure. You dont need to pay the devil to eat at their cafe. Never had the need to call aldi with a concern, but telstra is horrendous to have to deal with when data goes missing without explanation but apparently this issue was "legitimate usage" even though they cant tell me where it went and my usage never changed. Btw did i say how great it is to have language difficulties intertwined with two second voice delays? Just brilliant.

Was it data or credit that went missing? You can check data use on the phone itself.
Also, I have had every mobile phone and every internet service through telstra and the couple of problems I have had were fixed super quick and super easily. Sucked in.

[macca]

My phone is a full Telstra (4G) post paid, if Telstra has service it works as you would expect. Plus the sim goes in the Sat phone and works on the iridium network so Telstra for me is the only choice.

My wife has an Aldi phone on the Telstra 3G network, on our recent trip she was doing her lolly not having service when I had multiple bars of signal. Also it wont work in the Sat phone either, from what we were told.

Many small places are covered by 4G only, so the cheaper Aldi package simply wont work.

I recently got a new phone and copped a fair beating about paying more for Telstra service.

When it was proved the service was better suited I actually got an apology of sorts and a comment it had been right to go that way.

Don't know if anyone else felt the earth move that day!

After 18 months of selling nothing (zero, zip) a work associate went on holiday for 4 weeks. While he was away the technician and I managed to sell 14 plus units.
Boss promptly removed him. Apparently this is my fault. I have now been abused. Fortunately I care very little and have thick skin.

New window switch arrived today. Wrong one.
Wife gets in and the window is open even more.
Looks like low oil pressure is due to worn bearings.

I've always said that if I had to rebuild this engine I would look at a turbo or side mount blower. That's not going to happen.....

It's only going to be a bearing change couple of hundred. No labour...

It's lost a little pressure not heaps. No knock.
I've noticed over the last month or two that it has been down.
After the Cobaw trip where it had a short burst of high revving on an incline it was even lower.

If I was to only drive it around town it wouldn't be a problem, but I don't want it to let go if I'm out bush.

The engine has around 500,000km so its probably due, as a wear and tear item.

FGEN Bunnings. Waited 3 weeks for kitchen benchtops. They arrived, builder went away. Builder arrived, no benchtop bolts.

5 weeks. Builder rings, benchtop 2 is too long by 50mm and can't be cut down, have to order new benchtop. 3 week wait.

We'll be interstate on holidays when the bastard of a thing arrives at our place. It'll probably be left outside and be rained on.

Christ this renovating thing is a complete PITA, it would have been easier to sell the house and move.

How long since you've changed oil?
Could it have simply lost a bit of guts and thinned out?
My td42 had 525*** on it when sold and used bugger all oil and had brilliant compression.

I'd personally change the oil first for a 10-50 or 15-50 grade and see how that goes..

The oil was 5300km old. I thought the same, may have thinned out. I changed it and it's improved slightly, but more inconsistent now.

Have been using 20-50 to help slow a leaking rear main.

Only other thing I can think of is the pickup mesh may be a little blocked, but as mentioned it's probably just wear and tear on the engine.

Any other possible things to look at to diagnose will be appreciated.

4-11 psi @ hot idle use to be as high as 20.

35 @100km (1800 rpm) use to be 45.

As per manual @2800rpm 42 use to be 54.

It's around the low end of the recommended range.

I've also put in one of those oil flush. Will do it again (if I haven't done the bearings by them) when the next change I'd due.

I'd personally drop the oil again and re fill it..
The flush stuff always leaves residual behind after the first drop.
Drop and refill and see how it goes..

If it is inconsistent, is the gauge a bit iffy? I thought I had a problem with mine after towing to Bearii and it turned out to be the sender wiring.

Is it best to replace filter every time?

Na change the filter at 10,000.
I use to drop the oil every 5k though but many day they don't. .
All I know is mine was un opened at 526*** so I'm sticking to 5000k oil drops lol

Went to put some water in the 2nd battery last night before I put it on the charger, I have to remove the battery holder so I can remove the caps off the battery and pour the water in. 10 minute job tops.

55 minutes later, after spending 45 minutes looking for the damn battery holder bolt that fell out and completely vanished, I walk inside.

Spent 5 minutes this morning looking for that bolt, still couldn't find it.

Drive down the road, CRUNK, there it goes. Bolt and 12" piece of cowling drop out and onto the road.

I have received no communications from Allianz other than a few weeks after the accident when I had a missed call from them which I called back the next day and it was just 2 say a claim had been made against me and also that I was looking at around $1000 in repairs.

I rang Allianz tonight but was told the claim department will have 2 call me back 2morrow.

mudnut as I told you before Ive been having massive arm pain the last month or so.
I had another yesterday that extended from my wrist to the left rear of my head.
The pain is so bad you nearly pass out. To combat it I stripped off and jumped into a hot
shower till it subsided. Today at the doctors the pain has gone but my skin on my left
arm is hyposensitive, you cant touch it its so hypo. They say I have a pinched nerve
in the cervical area. I would not wish this pain on my worst enemy. There nothing to do
about it short term, just need to be very very carefull....boy does it hurt like
someone has put your forearm in a vice and just keeps turning and squeezing GGRRrrrrrrrrr
