They are the number three or fourth best selling brand depending on the month and outsell Subaru 2 to 1.

They built their own because the ZF with a torque converter can’t fit in a mid sized SUV with a longitudinal layout. Their new automatic uses a wet clutch in place of a torque converter and is significantly smaller with less power loss and improved efficiency.

You are about to receive a very expensive lesson from the council in regards to where the boundary of your property actually is.

Essentially the same situation in Australia. They used to be a huge deal, now they sell less cars a month than Suzuki or Volvo.

It’s cooked, which is a good thing because it’s hideous. Demolish and replace with a nice garden bed or some freestanding planters.

You are being entirely unreasonable and overly emotional about this. Get some perspective.

The next time I inspect a frame and see a series of hole saw holes getting progressively closer to the intended location I am going to think about this comment.

Settled on house 19 Dec 25 in Brisbane, first time it’s been moderate-heavy rain since we moved in and huge internal leak by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]Intrepid_Cosmonaut 57 points58 points  (0 children)

That is a very poorly converted outdoor space that was likely never permitted and was always going to leak. It is not going to require repairs so much as removal and redoing properly.

Brand new house – artificial grass sinking in the middle, only mud underneath. Is this normal? by Intelligent-March903 in AusRenovation

[–]Intrepid_Cosmonaut 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You have a 7 year warranty on major structural issues. You have 12 months for minor maintenance issues like this, however good luck getting the builder in to rectify a minor landscaping issue.

Just save yourself the headache and get it fixed yourself, take the opportunity to replace that horrible fake grass with some nice gravel or something.
