Problem = Excessive number of Pillows.
Solution = Borrow my German Shepherd.
Method = leave bedroom door open and turn your back.
He LOVES pillows, well not so much the pillow but reducing them to their component parts, which he can accomplish in approx 3.5 milliseconds.
He also likes to 'skin' tennis balls but I digress.
Risks = Do NOT let anyone else feed him, his allegiance to Adults is very fickle and revolves almost entirely around food.
The property of whoever feeds him becomes sacrosanct and he won't destroy it.
Also, keep him away from small children, he won't hurt the children indeed they are perfectly safe.
But, after a suitable warning of growls and snarls, he'll certainly practice his Pillow Discombobulation Skills on any Adult (Parent or not) who continues to try to approach the Kids (which is piss funny to watch down the local Park).
All the locals love him and Kids are perfectly free to go to an Adult but not the other way around... try it and shit gets real.
Just done a quick count and there's 22 pillows downstairs and shit knows upstairs they're breeding on each other so I'll book the dog for Monday .Quote:

Also, the ride in the Patrol was so much more comfortable than the D40, also a much more capable vehicle offroad.
I reckon if you want something reliable, you should get a 1HD Toyota something, those old diesels are bullet proof, but not very powerful.
My thoughts exactly 10G , we've put it off for another year or so but are getting an ADC Duramax conversion in the GU along with a GVM upgrade all up cost will be more than the average ute but it won't exactly be average in capability and with the couple of bugs and a reco on the LBZ I'm confident it will pay back in spades .
Oops that should read couple of bugs fixed and a reco
I'm not a fan of these 4 cylinder utes, they're all way over priced in my eyes.
Angry at myself for never being worthy enough of a forum winter hoodie needed @MudRunnerTD !
They even come with free plumbers crack too these days :-( http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/05/127.jpg

Drove into a tyre place today to get a slow leak fixed, only to find the security wheel nut remover was missing - last used by another tyre place to instal new tyres 3 months ago. Had to drive an hour round trip to a dealer to get one then arrived back at the original tyre joint only to find they had shut up shop early - not my day today!
Bloody ebay seller ......... messaged him to check he had the ipad MrsTea wants in stock. Yes he says. 20 minutes later I pay using Paypal. 5 minutes later I get a message to say that he didn't have the stock after all & would cancel the sale & refund me. No offer of delaying supply or of a different colour etc. Refund minutes later. Ebay code gave 5% discount & I reckon he didn't want to sell for that. Paypal & Ebay both tell me I have been refunded but now I have to wait for the money to get credited back into the card I have linked to Paypal. Seller's ad says he has 'more than 10 in stock.
Anyone know how the ebay discounts work? Wouldn't sellers have to be aware of them when advertising? Hope the whole transaction wasn't some sort of scam. Ebay & Paypal look legit but the debit card I use online still says the transaction is pending & I'm guessing it will be at least a couple of days before the bank deigns to put the money back. Can't help feeling that there might be room to move in there somehow for the bad guys.
Suggest this seller be avoided. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Appl...72.m2748.l2649
When I bought a phone a month ago I placed a high bid of $140 and ended up getting it for $130 due to being the highest bidder , I'd be pissed if it was me selling it and missed out on the extra $10 but as a buyer I was happy .Quote:

Whatever ..... not a good way to do business.
Have also read that Paypal are renowned for being slow in putting efunds back into buyers accounts - apparently 5 days is common.
My FIL sold some gold coins on flea bay. The winner was in America so he posted with insurance and tracking etc.
the buyer signed and picked them up, then claimed he didn’t receive the item. PayPal took the money from the sale back off my FIL and he was trying to dispute it but found the process very hard when you can’t actually talk to someone. He eventually gave up and lost $1500.00 yet someone scored some free coins

Fastway Couriers. Seriously pathetic...
Get an SMS today that they missed us, and they left a note on the door step. Ok. Sweet.
SMS said to send them an email with the parcel #, to re-deliver.
I get home, no note left. I enter the parcel # onto their tracking page and what do you know!? They attempted a delivery last Thursday too . Although that time, No note left, no SMS, no email , nothing... How was I to know about it ?
Call them up earlier, after ages on the waiting line I get through. She speaks next to no english with a rude attitude, telling me that I should be home on the day of the delivery .
How am i meant to be home when I don't know that it's on it's way?
They made a documentary about that mob mate!Quote:

With my miniscule amount of knowledge on this, I've been trying to work this out @bigguwesty, when you say gas in coolant, do you mean exhaust gas? How'd that get in there?Quote:

Luckily my brother use to work for them and they are doing a good price for me.
I'll be throwing incolnol studs in with the new manifold.
Will also be blanking egr at exhaust manifold..
Fkn thing...
Mudnutette is renting an old house. She called me to come and fix the leak under her vanity basin. This thing has been leaking so long that there are mushrooms growing out of the floor. I found that the drain is leaking behind an asbestos backed panel. Plumbers were called, and two turned up. They then called another two. After a while they left without fixing the problem. Strangely enough the shrooms are gone.
Surely the mechamos can say it was cracked or was warped....i use a nissan dealership with aftermarket warrenty and the bullshitted heaps to help me out.Quote:

Ahh, that feels better.
I initially blocked the EGR at R/H side as it was easier to get at , then after a while it developed a ‘whistle ‘ I couldn’t find - turned out to be manifold gasket - manifold warped , got it machined & new gasket , I blocked the EGR pipe on the exhaust side aswell as I couldn’t see any sense in letting it ‘pressurise’ that pipe around the back of the engine - it seemed to be asking for trouble .
vomit, vomit everywhere..
Yea I'll be blocking exhaust manifold side now.Quote:

Hate the unprepared 4WD. Coming out of Burgoynes track today, which is quite cut up, 500mm steps in places, sharp projections everywhere, but straight forward for a driver with some experience, so you can imagine what was going on in my head when the I had to reverse backwards up a bloody great hill because some bozo came charging up it. Anyway got to the top with him following me - up the steppy rutty crap - not fun nor easy on the vehicle. So I pull off the track to let him pass and he tells me his story. His mate, sitting in the passenger seat blew an alternator on green Hills track - one of the other feeds into Burgoynes. They were heading in to replace it - happened 3 days ago, so all good, he was in a pathfinderr with half bald all terrains. Asked about the track - he had not done it before but the route was 'quicker' on the map???? he thought.
Right, so have you any recovery gear - NOPE, travelling with someone else - YEP, and then the call comes over the radio that his mate is stuck, basically on the second little pimple hill, and another 20klm of difficult driving to get to the river, then get up Green Hills to fix the car - by the way its 2pm by now. So they walk down the hill and I yelled out - ' if he can't make it past the spot he is on, he won't make it full stop'. Anyway they heed the advice and the driver of the pathfinder returns and declares the track is now open, they have cleared the stranded vehicle and he has graciously agreed to move his vehicle so we can pass.
Here is the pisser - the stranded vehicle was a Subaru wagon complete with road tyres, but it did have a 4" snorkle - The front spoiler was in pieces and it was going nowhere. For me it was simple case of not doing your homework as this track is not for toys. Added to that, right where the track starts at the bitumen, the DSE guys have placed signage saying the track is very rough, proceed at your own risk - wouldn't the penny have dropped that this track, that they had never driven on, arriving late in the day etc etc was not a good choice. For the record they only had to drive thru Licola and could have entered Green Hills from the top.
THEN, when we did get past these clowns, found out someone had rolled a Ford territory and camper trailer on the Burgoynes track coming in from the back approach - first off - not Ford territory territory, second, if you were stupid enough to take a camper trailer into Burgoynes the only safer way is via Green Hill - but there was a broken down vehicle blocking the track!! Unsure of the drivers/passengers condition, we didn't see the territory but heard the camper was hanging off the side of the hill, so would have been terrifying for sure.
Wow, time for more Victorian Track Warning Entry signs PB mate :-( !
Sydney closures, here we come soon too :-(
