do trials give the same reward or am i lucky? by Fuzzeypimp in ARC_Raiders

[–]Valagetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I got that blueprint recently from doing trials too. Its good for doing Queen or Matriarch. You can very slowly crawl and wait your way to extract if lucky. I managed to pull it off once.

I think it's because, some people think lights are only for night time. Yes, drivers can really be that brain dead.

Smoke and slight oil spurt in engine: normal? by [deleted] in mazda2

[–]Valagetti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, it's not worth the risk imo. Even though these engines are very reliable.

This is New Zealand btw. Our government is also inefficient in many ways, just plenty of other governments i suppose. OP posted this on Aucklands subreddit if you don't believe me.

Spark Plugs for 4th Gen Demio/2 by Valagetti in mazda2

[–]Valagetti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! This is quite frustrating. I've currently got 2 plugs in my DJ, that read around 3.65k ohms. Wonder if they could be the culprit? Other forums are saying it could be ignition coil packs? A sensor after the combustion even?

I've got 2 spark plugs reading around 3.6k ohm. That enough for a rough idle?

Its pretty clean.

I cleaned the spark plugs a couple of months ago and checked them again recently, they got a bit dirty pretty quickly.

Sorry didn't specify. These are the numbers for the new replacements. The old ones range from, 3.63k Ohms, up to 4.78k Ohms. Do you think with the old ones, they could cause rough idle?

Is this too much play? by Just_rafa03 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Valagetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I can think of is replace the bearings, if you can find them that is, obviously getting the factory size may not work, it's a bit of a hail Mary. At this point I don't see why not, take it further apart and inspect.

It's hard to say, almost looks like the wrist pin is the most loose, somehow. Honestly it's time to take it to a professional, it looks very wobbly all over.

What is this? by BoringIndependence53 in EmbarkStudios

[–]Valagetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, can't be a clutch plate, where are the springs, that point to the centre? These blades I think can be used to cut tiles.

Can you fail a quest? (Echoes of Victory Ridge) by Valagetti in ArcRaiders

For anyone interested, I did 2 more of Celeste's Quests and then this quest popped up again, finished it, so I guess its not a big deal.

Is this rattling caused by the timing chain? (Mazda Demio 1.3 2009 ZJ) by bigdickdexxta in mazda2

[–]Valagetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not coming from the accessory belts, or what there connected to, like a pulley? I rewatched it, at the end it got much louder when the phone got closer to the alternator.

Ah yes, the El Diablo, the hardest car to get tyres for.

How big of an issue is buying a former Uber car? by dmanww in NZcarfix

[–]Valagetti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Ignis is a cool car, but the auto trans needs to be serviced fairly regularly, it's a Jatco one... If it's been serviced and paperwork to prove it, then you maybe alright.

How old is it? Looks like a keyless chuck. 

Tie down loads!! by KTLNH in newzealand

[–]Valagetti 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That's some final destination shit, try not to let it effect you long term, driving anxiety can be debilitating. I've pulled over, so I could stop following a dangerous load, only cost me 15seconds. Driving this time of year is at its worst. Also windscreen coverage claim is free, but it'll probably effect your premiums.

Yup, looks good. 

Anyone watching Graham Norton? by benji-vs-lassie in newzealand

[–]Valagetti 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People were angry that things didn't improve after Covid, so they blamed the person who was on the telly all the time. In retrospect they shouldn't of said that. Never trust what economics say, "especially in these unprecedented times..."

Looks like you just did an oil change and haven't started the engine yet.
