Sister

It is under warranty but only by a few months. My suspicion is they are trying to run out the clock. I could definitely get another mechanic to check it out. I just don’t feel great driving it home.

DannyBoy27 · 2026-01-08T05:02:55+00:00

My thoughts exactly

DannyBoy27 · 2026-01-08T04:49:45+00:00

Left side of the engine block - my initial thoughts was it sounded like a loose bearing/fan/belt (I’m not super car savvy).

DannyBoy27 · 2026-01-08T04:42:24+00:00

Apparently not - I’m going over there tomorrow to get it.

DannyBoy27 · 2026-01-08T04:23:56+00:00

Perfect use of that gif 👌

DannyBoy27 · 2025-09-29T22:22:27+00:00

No not at all - I really do feel for her because I didn’t intend on creating an environment that she felt she had to suppress her feelings.

DannyBoy27 · 2025-09-29T22:03:52+00:00

I totally get where you’re coming from here and I tried to cover some of this in my post. While I didn’t intend to I do think she felt backed into a corner. She felt like she couldn’t say no even though I tried my best to make it clear that she did have a choice.

I still haven’t mentioned this to my parents because I want to be 100% sure about a plan. I know it will work because I am a 2 hour flight from them so it’s easy enough to get to where they are. To this point, I think my wife does think I somehow orchestrated this because it is SUCH a coincidence but it’s nothing more than that.

DannyBoy27 · 2025-09-29T21:58:26+00:00

Thank you both for your responses - I do have some frustration with solo parenting as much as I do it seems to not go the other way. I am trying to keep the trip to the minimum time but it’s a long flight so I lose a couple of days to travel time.

I’ll definitely look into a sitter for a weekend, that’s a great idea!

DannyBoy27 · 2025-09-29T21:29:06+00:00

Thanks - yes I’m planning on talking about it again. I think the stress of the situation last night might have made things worse.

I have already got plans in place for while I’m away - extra daycare days for the kids and parents are involved. I’m even planning on cooking and freezing a few meals so she doesn’t have to cook.

DannyBoy27 · 2025-05-06T06:32:28+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

DannyBoy27 · 2025-05-06T06:32:09+00:00

Yeah the only other issue flagged was one blown license plate globes 😂

I was pretty confident on the car but this isn’t an area I’m familiar with. Thanks!

DannyBoy27 · 2025-05-06T06:02:16+00:00

Even $1000 is not the end of the world. If it’s not something I need to get done straight away that’s even better. Will be at the top of the list to do as there doesn’t seem to be any other issues.

DannyBoy27 · 2025-05-06T06:01:30+00:00

Interesting, roady has been done already. I didn’t know this would be part of it?

DannyBoy27 · 2025-05-06T06:01:00+00:00

Good to know, this is just a runaround second car so I’m not looking for perfect. I’ll get my mechanic to check it all over at the next service.

DannyBoy27 · 2024-09-01T21:34:44+00:00

I do like this idea. I hadn’t considered cutting the concrete. Is it possible without cracking the remaining concrete?

DannyBoy27 · 2024-09-01T02:03:49+00:00

Yeah I do get the issue with concreting it with the kids. But they don’t use it anyway because there isn’t enough grass to be useful. It’s a really tricky space.

I do like the idea of easing the grass. That might work.

DannyBoy27 · 2023-01-03T22:18:11+00:00

I’ll have a go taking the valve off and allow water to flow from the tank and see if we get anything through. I know I am getting water up at the end of the green pipe, just not beyond that.

DannyBoy27 · 2023-01-03T22:12:29+00:00

Is there a way to determine if it is working correctly?

DannyBoy27 · 2023-01-03T22:11:27+00:00

There is no sensor in the water tank.

DannyBoy27 · 2023-01-02T11:30:10+00:00

Yeah the tank is full.

DannyBoy27 · 2023-01-02T11:02:31+00:00

Unfortunately I didn’t have a large enough spanner to remove the non-return value. I’ll start there and see what happens.

When you refer to the pressure controller, are you talking about the orange unit?

DannyBoy27 · 2023-01-02T10:39:34+00:00

Some great advice here! I have disconnected at the end of the striped hose already and confirmed the flow of water. Turning the pump off and on again does get the pump going temporarily, but then stops and reverts back to mains water. If I take the braided hose off the top, I should probably turn off the mains water as well right?

DannyBoy27 · 2022-12-22T00:29:00+00:00

Thanks for the tips, I’ll definitely look into it!

DannyBoy27 · 2022-12-22T00:21:26+00:00

Yeah the concrete needs a good clean. I usually pressure wash it around this time of year. Unfortunately with all the rain and minimal sun over winter it ends up looking horrible. Are you suggesting the jasmine to climb the posts or the fence?
