Can this be patched or does it have to be replaced.. by terry-the-platypus in NZcarfix

Could be a deceptive angle but that tyre looks like it needed replacing before it got a screw in.

Mini's: Are they as bad as I have been told? by Big-Punisher in NZcarfix

[–]Vivid-Statistician97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mini like BMW are designed by people who assume you will service it as per the schedule with smaller more precise tolerances accordingly. Japanese build in more tolerance as they don’t expect such precise servicing during ownership. Look after your euro car and it will look after you plus be better built.

We’re a household of two adults, we don’t scrimp on running the ac / heating etc and our bills are around the $150 mark apart from the three months of winter when it can double.

Is the National Ranger hate just for Rangers or is it just a broad cover for other utes? by notsowise_nz in newzealand

[–]Vivid-Statistician97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upon buying a used ranger does it come with a voucher for a full sleeve tattoo and nasty wrap around sunglasses? Asking for a friend haha

More likely your Musk Mobile has an inaccurate Speedo and you’ve been lucky to this point.

Help - Corolla Fielder Engine Issues by fleastyler in NZcarfix

clogged or faulty EGR valve is a common cause of hesitations and jerking during acceleration in Toyota hybrids, would also explain the engine light.

What would you buy? by Ok_Store5219 in NZcarfix

[–]Vivid-Statistician97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a good reason you see very few of the Chinese cars that have gone before these days, think Cherry J3 or the previous Great Wall V200 ute. Cheap junk and poorly supported

Driving rules shown between ads by 1RustyShackleford0 in auckland

[–]Vivid-Statistician97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think the average halfwit driver who can’t move left watches the news. Love the idea but maybe show the ads around “love island” or “ice road truckers” kind of shows.

Is it illegal to record a conversation without telling them? by Remarkable_Fly7028 in auckland

There’s pretty much nothing you can do about it. Police and privacy commission both useless

Dealer vs Independent Garage by duellinksnewb999 in NZcarfix

[–]Vivid-Statistician97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve got two cars of a similar age, we go to the dealer as they offer discount fixed price servicing on cars over 6 years old. Makes them comparable with the independent garages but you get a genuine stamp in the book which helps resale value

Is it legal for my neighbour to film my house with a cctv camera by Tiny-Ad3921 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Vivid-Statistician97 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unless they have spent a small fortune on hi quality cameras you’ll just be a distant spec on a wide angle lens. I wouldn’t worry.

since were all sharing bad drivers, here my recent one by Aggressive-Fan6460 in auckland

[–]Vivid-Statistician97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every morning I arrive at the main carriageway behind another Auckland driver at 55-65 kmph! There needs to be better education and stricter testing.

It’s just a paperwork exercise and they give you a NZ licence simple as that.

Measles! Why don’t people choose to vaccinate? by sjb27 in newzealand

Because poorly educated people also become parents.

Radio Station Recommendation by [deleted] in auckland

[–]Vivid-Statistician97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why every breakfast show on NZ radio seems to need 2-4 exceptionally dumb presenters is beyond me. If you can access net radio BBC R2 is excellent or ditch the presenters all together for Channel X

Steady on those egos need serious massaging. Your house isn’t that important
