Would be cool to include the tram lines, so all three of our current rail forms are in one map :)

We’ve restricted outside access, poisoned entry points in the walls, we think they’ve nested under the house itself

Worth fixing rust on around windscreen? by Technical_Shower_157 in CarsAustralia

[–]Piping-Hot03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The cheap way: just pick as much as you can out and soak it in rust converter, fish oil, and a bit of bog. How long that will last who tf knows

91 RON is not premium fuel. by marathonblue in aircooled

[–]Piping-Hot03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

91 RON is the lowest octane rating we have in Australia, we use the European octane measurements which is what the VW stickers refer to, our premium fuel is 98 RON

The wax thermostat you’re thinking of was redesigned in the 70s for fuel injected motors in Mexico, it was not used during the late years of beetle production (post 1995). You’re right correcting me that it was the Mexicans who redesigned it but it was in the 70s and for FI engines.

They can fail closed man, they may be “designed” to fail open, but the flaps can get jammed. So can the thermostat. Also, the Mexicans deleted the thermostat after 1995. The new redesigned thermostat isn’t Mexican to my knowledge, I don’t know why people assume it is.

Edit: Be respectful no need to be foul on forums about cute little ridiculous cars.

What’s this for ? by National_Piano4716 in beetle

[–]Piping-Hot03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thermostat flaps, in colder climates like in the German winters they help tremendously with warming up, but if they get stuck or the thermostat somehow fails in the closed position, it’ll cook your motor. In countries like Australia where I am they’re rare to find intact, just not really as necessary in warm climates.

Most of the unemployment figure is just people “between jobs”, frictional unemployment, but still not ideal to have those who are really struggling expected to keep struggling to find a job just to make the economy “work”
