I remember when I had to replace an air filter in my car.Just open the hood,unscrew the wingnut that was literally right in front of you,remove the old filter and put the new one in(which cost around $8.)Pretty easy.Now,I just had an air filter replaced in my Suzuki and it cost $45.00 !To try to do it by myself I would need lock picks like Harry Houdini to open where the air filter is !

For the last decade, at least, automobiles have been designed so that the common folk cannot fix even the simplest of problems. I remember when they first started removing oil drain plugs. I knew then it was only gonna get worse.

Our 2001 Highlander and come to think of it the 1999 Passat before that had them.

 

Apparently it "filters" the air that you suck into the cabin for heating and cooling. Of course it can create a light and/or an error code if it is gummed up as all those magical air hoses under the hood are all connected pushing air about.

 

I suspect it is another way to get you to the shop and spend another $30 buck on a filter.

Cost my daughter $100

Because she didn't ring me to relay what they said. She used Kmart Tyre & Auto and they scammed her.

What she got from them was that they were cleaning the 'engine' because it was clogged up and sluggish.
Utter bullshit, and I did what anyone who has an issue does - left a bad Google review to warn others.

Yeah, but all she had to do was let me know that they'd called her, passed on the info and I would have either instructed her not top let them do it, or called them myself.

Sadly, kids don't learn from this, and the same thing will happen again with something else.

As a parent you can only do so much before they have to start learning from their mistakes....

      Big City - Testify X

      By Stefan · Posted

      New song 'Irreversible'. From Frontiers: 'Irreversible' is a new single from Norway's Big City. The track is from the recording sessions for their most recent studio album, "Testify X", which is out now. Fans of bands such as Firewind, Queensryche, Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall, Europe, Fair Warning, and the like should look forward to being introduced to this exciting band.

      Three Days Grace - So Called Life

      Yeah mate, that's definitely them through and through. Maybe slightly "ballsier" in recent years, but if you dig that you'll dig their gear.

      Got my tickets this morning

      By Geoff · Posted

      I was meant to see Crazy Lixx too, and it turned into a massive fuck-around. They didn't end up coming to Australia after a massive failed festival event. I think they were still headed here, but it was right at the start of covid and I think that may have been a factor in them cancelling too. Pretty devastating at the time, but thankfully Reckless Love had more testicular fortitude and that was one of, if not my favourite (and as fate would have it, last) concert outing so far.

      New Horizon (Jona Tee & Erik Gronwall)

      By Geoff · Posted

      Just heard that 'We unite' song. Not into it, but hoping there's better to come as I like the vocals (of course) and it's a good ballsy sound. Just a terrible chorus.

      I've just revisited the original and as worthy as the above cover is, the original is perfection.

      Yeah I'm not completely sold on Brand either. He is very intelligent, switched on and an excellent speaker, but I don't connect as much with him as I do others. Watch him every now and then but not subscribed as I'm not overly interested in a lot of his videos.

      Russell Brand goes on a bit too much about spirituality most of the time for me, and he is very slow to get to the point, compared to someone like, say the awesome Jordan Peterson. I remember when I first saw the Sarah Silverman was dong video blogs, because I thought she was pretty great and funny. And then I saw some, and now I hate her. I hate pretty much everything she says, and I even find it hard watching her movies lol

      SATANIC SONG OF THE DAY

      By Darkstone · Posted

      Randy Piper's Animal - Judgement Day. Killer track unfortunately not on youtube.  The start of the chorus says it all.   "I'm here to tell you I'm watching you, I'm watching everything you do, GOD knows, 'cause he asked me to".   Job gets it.

      The Holiday Spirit

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      haha, just what this place has been missing. A religious thread. I don't believe in any higher power, just like I don't believe in ghosts or aliens. Show me one and I will believe, until then.... As far as mainstream religions go, they are all equally silly to me. Defining a 'god' or 'gods' and creating images on them, and worshipping them? Really? Just because you don't know? Christianity is ridiculed in Australia, because like it or not we are a Christian society. Want proof? attend parliament, and they say the lord's prayer before every sitting. Having travelled extensively around the world, I will say that Catholicism is the worst of them all. Money hungry, money grabbing religion that it. Asian religions and much more realistic. Anyway here's the thing. I DON'T KNOW I don't know how we got here. I know how we evolved. But I don't know where our consciousness came from, and I don't know where it goes, if anywhere. And I don't care, because I can't change it anyway. For me life is more about being a good person, doing right by others and living a happy life. I've said for years, the secret to life is in two parts. Stay healthy and he happy. That's it. Worship whomever you like. Doesn't affect me. You guys create some great temples and churches and I enjoy visiting them. Interestingly, even 10 or 15 years ago, not many dared to come out and admit they had no faith. These days, this is common, but rare for people to come out and say they are Christian, or whatever. Jesus was real. His life is fairly well documented. Was he the son of a god? lol If anything he was a magician of sorts. Probably a decent bloke though. Scariest thing I've seen recently was the NY mayor talking about covid and how god has chosen it and people should get immunised to serve god or whatever. Damn, I would HATE to live in a bible belt of the US. Hell, people in my country don't ever really get a flag out except for one day a year that everyone hates because it's now all about invasion etc. I've been through the US and was amazed at the amount of flags on front lawns, letterboxes, and everywhen. You guys care about your country far more than us
