New POD Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Mr-Wiper on Ebay has sold 37000000000 wipers and yet he's sent me a blade for the Juke which just isn't right. The U shape at the end of the wiper arm is designed for a much fatter clip then the bosch one he sent. That's okay he says. Keep that we'll send you a replacement. Yeah. But now I have 2 wipers of the 13 inch variety which don't fit. He says he'll refund, and I don't need to bother returning them. It's not the money I care about. It's the fact that all your stock is clearly wrong. Would it have been too much to find a juke, and have a look at the wiper arm, and work out which blade would fit?

richardmorris Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Probably yes. They’re just using what their xcel spreadsheet says. If that’s wrong you’ll just end up with lots of incorrect wipers. A bit like euro car parts really. BorniteIdentity and CGSB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProgRocker Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Been chatting classic cars with a colleague who has an old Beetle. Subject turns towards Citroens. He told me that in the 70s (?) his parents owned a rotary engined one!!! I said that it must have been a GS and that (I think) Citroen bougjt most of them back because of an engine fault. Very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 2 weeks since the Fusion clutch change, and there is a slow leak of something from the transmission end.

Im not a fanboy of his, but he is brilliant at marketing and building hype and generating investment...if this big firecracker works....oh man, all he needs is a few seconds of footage of that car in space, get his marketing and media beards on the case and he will likely roll out the most epic car commercial in the history of mankind.I really, really hope it works. tooSavvy, dome, Exiled_Tat_Gatherer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Was following a Mk2 Renault Clio home today and thought it looked a bit strange as we went around a corner. On a straight stretch of road it still looked like it was going around a corner. I guess that's what a crabbing Clio looks like. Looked a bit of a handful in a straight line, the back end seemed to keep trying to go right as the front was going straight on. Was pretty hypnotic to watch, I wonder what on earth was wrong with it to cause that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holbeck Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Last week, I had a buyer lined up for my RAV4. He and his wife already had a 5 door and wanted mine - a 3 door, for their daughter. He'd made me an offer that was very fair given that the MOT is relatively short. This has now gone wrong because my 10 year old son has had actual tears at the prospect of the RAV going. I've caved in and promised that it will stay. Great. mercrocker, BorniteIdentity, RobT and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_lihp Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Heads up that the live stream is now up and running Mind blowing that they also intend to land the 3 cores used to launch the rocket - including one on a "droneship" in the middle of the Atlantic.This live coverage seems like a film to me, so futuristic & polished. The spent boosters landing in perfect sync is so incredible on so many levels, that was amazing to watch. Only question remaining is what happened to the centre section on the drone ship! catsinthewelder and Mrs6C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Ahh, that's a shame. Still, doesn't detract from the whole thing being a colossal achievement. Also, the small matter of there now being a Tesla roadster orbiting the Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
