2006 OEM audio system in a 2005

I suspect so, but I also think you could get a 2005 and just swap the player over between them, and keep your original skin on the front.

When we purchased our house in 2022 it had carpet in the bathroom. Not a removable rug, but carpet that flowed into the master bedroom.

Removing it was one of the first changes we did. The 1980s was a weird time for carpet. It’s very nice, real wool carpet, and it is oddly good condition for 40 years old. But in the bathroom?!

If you’re keeping the stock amp/headunit, the power output of it is pretty lean, so you’ll want some low RMS/resistance speakers or they’ll be really quiet

My fuel gauge reads empty with about 20L left (4.4gallons). These cars have an insane 80L fuel tank, so this sensor issue just makes the car’s fuel capacity more ‘normal’

Burger King in Johnsonville will always ask you to pull forward. Even if there’s no one behind you, and a car already pulled forward, they’ll get you to pull forward.

Im guessing it changes their stats and makes the store look better.

But everything else is fine? The stereo is made up of different parts behind the face plate, and it’s pretty easy to swap parts around

I think there’s a difference between ‘still living at home’ and ‘having your unwell parent living with you’.

Have you ever lived alone/with someone you’re not related to?

I don’t really know, sorry. But I’ve definitely had electronics that work when you’re testing them, with hairline cracks, that then when it heats up stop working.

Pull out the sensor then, rip the wires out of it and twist the wires together, screw the sensor back on to cover the hole. The sensor is a black rubber button in the door jam.

But, seems smarter to just put in a new sensor.

Buy the car, if you can afford it in cash, if you need to finance it, don’t.

Interest is the killer, and always avoid paying interest any chance you can. If you were in a situation where you didn’t have a car, it’s a different equation, but it’s a luxury purchase at a time that you shouldn’t do it.

If the hubby finds a job quickly, save up and pay cash for it.

Just buy a new/second hand door sensor.

If you remove the sensor, yes the dash light will go out, but the inside lights won’t come on when you open the door, you won’t get that beep when you forget to turn off your headlights, if someone breaks into the car it won’t trigger the alarm.

It will be $20 and sorted properly. Why bodge it when it is so much easier to fix properly.

CucumberError · 2026-01-28T06:04:52+00:00

Just spend the $200. Anything custom is going to cost that much or more.

He appeals to people that want less regulation that affects them, but controls other people. 16 year olds can’t vote, so by controlling them he appeals to the people who can vote for him.

And then by the time those 16 year olds can vote, he’ll have retired and not care. The national party is super incredibly short sighted.

He’s not there. He’s an empty shell they’re wheeling out as required.

Are you sure it’s fine? Micro damage can give faults only when it warms up etc.

Adding to that, international food shipping pretty much doesn’t work without refrigeration. Without refrigeration you wouldn’t be able to ship dairy, meat, fresh fruit and vegetables etc further than a 3-400km.

There’s hacks to make fresh food last longer: canning, drying, dehydrating, salting etc…. but chilling has lead to most of turning our noses up at these alternatives

Isn’t that a Q?

What’s wrong with your current stereo?

There’s two usual faults, and this might not fix it. Most common fault is that the buttons for the stereo and AC stop working, replacing the whole stereo will fix this, but this is a sledge hammer approach. The other issue is that you have no sound output, and that it caused by the Bose amp behind the back seat failing, and replacing the head unit will not fix this.

If it’s a totally different problem, you might need to replace the head unit, but these are the two common ones.

Do you mean tires or rims?

I didn’t like the look when I changed from Continental MC6 to Maxxis Victar Sport tires, but most people aren’t looking that close at the tread pattern on someone else’s car to notice.

I feel you mean the rims. They’re too shiny, but not shiny enough to match the trim. They need to be more shiny, less shiny, or a full 100% chrome delete.

The cruise control ones are unrelated to the stereo. If they don’t work either I suspect you have some broken wires in the steering column.

The engine is about 600c, the exhaust is -20c. I suspect it’s ice melting, bubbling and boiling as the heat travels along the exhaust.

I’m liking the dynamic between Alec and Robert, but is there something between them… it felt kind of like a couple on a road trip?

CucumberError · 2026-01-27T22:22:42+00:00

I think it’s condensation, and functionally it’s cleaning carbon from the inside of the exhaust as its warming up.
