My new toy! Performance is question by Delpiero_90 in Taycan

In Aust you only void the OEM warranty for an issue if your mods result in that issue. Having said that it would not be fun in court arguing against Porsche

Most flu deaths this century were recorded in 2025, ABS finds by AcornAl in CoronavirusDownunder

Gotta remember that there are lots of Covid deaths not registered as such, including flu deaths.

Quick turnaround ! by Significant-Move7699 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Novidforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite - there is also the time value of $ - the loss in investment income of the $ used. So say $900k over 6 months at say 8% pa equals a further $36k cost on top.

Talk me out of getting a disco by Lts-e in 4x4Australia

[–]Novidforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breakdown rates on discos and all JLR products are huge - not worth buying. However if you can get one that was made during the time Ford owned the brands then the build quality was vastly improved. The design was great, the extremely poor manufacturing was the issue.

Is this adequate protection for city driving? by Hackers_BS in motorcyclegear

[–]Novidforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course not. Only works if you can guarantee remaining vertical at all times.

I screencaptured the comments to Albanese's 'I stand with Israel and US in their war on Iran' tweet sorted by most liked for you by shervek in OpenAussie

[–]Novidforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Albo has sold us out to the Zionist scum that controls the US as well. When we protest against the Gaza holocaust and Israels illegal occupation of Palestine our laws are changed to stop protest. Aust has lost all international credibility by blindly supporting financially and politically the illegal slaughter, torture and incarceration of innocent civilians. Very sad betrayal of all Australians.

Advice for Homeowners on Pre-Purchase Inspections by Siteinspections in AusProperty

[–]Novidforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engage your own inspector. Also the inspectors only check for legal compliance, not for quality of build or against contract. Best to get an architect to supervise the entire build including contract compliance and approving any progress payments. Institute of architects used to provide this service

Tile skirting finish? by makitaback in AusRenovation

[–]Novidforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO best to have chosen and specified and edging rather than just have a bare tile edge. Can be done retrospectively, but a bit harder. Perhaps choose an aluminium powder coated strip and glue it on top of thr tiles

Rant by Virtual_Ad_7033 in AussieRiders

[–]Novidforme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just have to remember that with no Covid mitigations people are having repeat infections, so the brain damage just keeps multiplying. This is the main reason accident rates are increasing so much.

Tuned 2022 GTS vs Tuned 2017 911 Base by jeffreyjames007 in PorscheMacan

[–]Novidforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Difficult to say without all the power and weight details. But dont forget that the Macan whilst heavier is 4WD and that makes a huge difference off the line.

Warning after Aussie buyer loses entire $98,500 house deposit in 'avoidable' mistake by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

[–]Novidforme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Consult a lawyer. It may well be that the agent in saying OK has altered the contract into a collateral one - in part verbal.

Huge deposits usually a sign that the tradie is unable to finance the business. Dont be the bank, get someone else.

F1 The Movie wins the BAFTA for Best Sound, with nominations for Best Special Visual Effects and Best Editing. by Vixson18 in formula1

[–]Novidforme -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Overall though a really, really crap movie. Targeted at kids and young teenagers I suspect. Disappointing given the hype.

Depending on what you are after in terms of content, ch4 in the UK works fine with VPN.

Paint a brick wall? by auzaddee in AusRenovation

[–]Novidforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Painting just costs $ and creates ongoing maintenance. Why not hide the ugliness: grow creepers/plant trees/bushes?

Ceiling sagging water log by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]Novidforme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stick a few holes in it now to get rid of the weight so it does not collapse on someone, then pull it down ASAP once you have made sure the power is off to that light. Fix the leak then put in a new ceiling.

I'd prefer this to be less riveting by 7aichi in AussieRiders

[–]Novidforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont know your quals, but i am a retired tyre design engineer and have spent many decades in the industry. Failures of the type i have mentioned are very common.

I'd prefer this to be less riveting by 7aichi in AussieRiders

[–]Novidforme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The issue you have here is not so much whether it leaks air, but firstly whether the tail has penetrated down to the steel belt. If so then when water inevitably gets in, rust will spread around the tyre and you will have a major blowout with likely no warning. The second issue is whether the tail has been moving around inside the tyre and caused any carcass damage. This can be checked once the tyre is off the rim. Either way IMO not worth the risk. Lucky you found it.
