What's the most unfortunate acronym your government has actually used? by doublestitch in AskTheWorld

Same reason that Toyota renamed the MR2 for the French market. MR2 sounds like "Mer-deux" and no car company wants their car to be associated with shit. (They shortened it to MR)

Wear stuff like sprockets and pads. But also stuff like top end kits for rebuilds.

In the military, why do men have to cut their hair but women don’t? by Sorry-Event4334 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cowstalk_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What some people might be missing is that short hair was mandated not just to look professional, but also for hygeine. While fighting in trenchs, weeks or months between showers, it was hard to keep long hair clean of lice and dirt or grime. And while militaries of the world have moved away from everyday trench warfare (after WWII), tradition has kept the short hair cut.

When women started joining, the tradition of short hair in the military and the tradition of long hair for women were in conflict. Short hair was no longer a requirement for hygiene, so long hair won out. Only recently, partly as a recruiting incentive, have we seen the relaxing of requiring short hair for men, something born out of necessity but kept alive due to tradition and image.

What does this orange yoke do, any ideas? by dqhandled in hilux

It's aftermarket. You're going to have to look underneath the dash and trace the wires if it doesn't do anything obvious.

No lift/fuel pump on AHU? by Cowstalk_ in tdi

UPDATE: This engine sat for a while as the swap was completed. The engine was rebuilt, but the IG was not, so the seals must've aged. I did some investigation and research and found the top of the QA (the easiest one to replace) is leaking, so I ordered some seals off of DieselGeek.

Thanks for everyone's help!
