China has made me very angry, we lost a massive amount of exports today for being the first country asking for an enquire into how covid 19 started. Every country in the world agrees but we were the only country brave enough to say. We should not buy anything made in China at all, may mean we have to buy dearer products and not be able to afford everything we want but we can still afford everything we need.
DON'T BUY CHINESE!
While I agree with you wholeheartedly. Thats an impossible task. My family is very mixed race, Italian, German, Hungarian, Indian and Chinese, and even my Chinese part of the family are embarrassed by whats happening. But to say NOT to buy Chinese, you will be running around naked for a start. There is far too many consumables that is only made in China.Quote:

I think of you look at alot of pork products you will find they come mainly from Europe? At least the fresh stuff was last time I looked. I do agree, I try support Australian products where possible, it's one of the last consumable industry's we have that gives the rest of the world a run for their money!Quote:

China makes more, china gets bigger, china gets richer, china represses it's people, china stays in control.
It's the world chasing greed and money that is the real villain, the world has made china the power it is now. It's ashame the world was more interested in making money than it was in watching and realising the juggernaut it was creating.
The problem we have now is China have stopped importing Australian barley and beef which has halved our exports.
As a result of this we have a massive trade imbalance with China, if this keeps going China will own a large portion of Australia.
I am not racist at all, have no problem with Chinese people, my granddaughters are part Chinese.
I just have a problem with the way the Chinese government is punishing Australia and trying to bully us into backing down on our request into investigating how Covid 19 started.
Absolutely spot on!Quote:

Alloytec V6? If so, is it throwing up a code suggesting the timing chains are stretched? Will indeed cost a lot if you answered yes to both questions!Quote:

They can't sell secondhand cars ATM let alone new ones.
She's thumbed her nose at the first Santa Fe and w**ker dealers, and traded in the Craptiva for another older Santa Fe at different mob. Hope she gets a good run out of it. I haven't heard much bad stuff about those Sant Fe s.Quote:

If it is blown the car may well run perfectly as a Front wheel drive without you knowing anything is wrong until you need AWD on a wet road.Quote:

That thing's up for a timing belt now, don't know what that's going to cost???
Is it equipped with a belt or a chain? If the Holden Cruze is the same as a Chevy Cruze, it isn't a major job. There are Gates timing belt kits available. I think some have a water pump included. A good mechanic should be able to do it without breaking your bank.
All good, its a 2WD.Quote:

Indian, late delivery, then delivery driver pissing off up the footpath, good indian feed, phone call from mr. Indian saying you no pay, pay over phone. I say send mr delivery man back. Mr delivery man comes back. Why did you fuk off? I was busy. Didn't know I had to collect money. Paid the spastic.good food from this retarded restaurant. Customer service even in-house is pathetic.

Looks like the side of the heater got hot enough to melt the hose, very much a design flaw. Brand is Companion which is usually reliable. Disappointed as this is exactly what I wanted but not sure I could ever trust it.
Wife said the flames were 4 foot high, wish she got a photo.
Holy moly scary stuff. That thing should be taken off the market until it's fully investigated.Quote:
