Tomarse posted:I don't know if you've ever looked into recovery of a 3.4tonne permanent 4WD vehicle that is also taller, wider and weirder than most of the other stuff you see on the road - but its hard. I have breakdown cover with my insurance on it and they claim that they will cover it, but i suspect it will end up in a long wait for a flatbed.. I'd like to be able to fix/bodge it myself! That was the case with my 2a Lightweight; nearly every time it was: small van turns up, fiddles, can't fix, refuses to tow 4WD anywhere on a dolly, drives off three hours later, flatbed turns up and takes me home

Tomarse posted:Today I have also been educated about Fiat wiring. They don't run an ignition switched ACC feed to the standard looking ISO plugs behind the head unit, only a permanent live. Then they sneak 2 CAN cables into the ISO connector inplace of some of the less useful wires and the Fiat head unit switches on and off with the ignition using those. So if you want to fit a different head unit you have to dig out an ACC feed from somewhere else to make it turn on and off properly. Ah, standards.

I hate my bank. The Internet Banking app is asking a security question I don't remember. To reset it I have to phone in. When I call them they ask more questions — that I can't answer without access to the account. "on the 11th of July you made a transaction, can you tell us who it was to?" "can you tell us the date you opened the account?" I've had this account for about 22 years. Like, how the gently caress am I supposed to know? "i'm sorry, we can't authenticate you" I swear i'm having a massive sense of humor failure tonight. Bloody loving Kafka. meltie fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Jul 27, 2017 |
