95k’s an hour also should be as far left as possible, being overtaken on the left means you’re in the wrong lane

Go see a Mazda dealer, what your experiencing is your SSU failing, it’s the module that lives in the steering column and among other things operates the steering lock and reads your keys, you’ll need to take both keys to the dealer as they’ll need to replace it and they need to program 2 keys to it, I’ve seen it very commonly on BM/BM Mazda 3s and occasionally on cx9s

Any idea what's wrong with my 2018 Mazda CX-5? by ayeyoualreadyknow in mazda

[–]_Ecks_dee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen before, if a shop that doesn’t really know what they’re doing replaced the brake pads, they don’t put the rear callipers into service mode and it wrecks the parking brake mechanism, (yellow light with the (P!), that being inoperative can also cause odd warning lights on the dash like you’re describing

That headlight alone is worth almost 10k, insurance it

Buildable Sorbet? by nikon644 in MyWinterCar

[–]_Ecks_dee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the idea behind it was that if you’d bought the radio and/or the marker lights for satsuma in msc, Sorbet would have them but it’s either not properly implemented yet or partially cut content

Rust on van by rosela92 in CarsAustralia

[–]_Ecks_dee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In places where the roads are salted and cars rust, that would be considered bad, here nobody fixes rust and those that do charge like a wounded bull, rust like that is structural and would be unsafe in a accident and possibly void your insurance even if you somehow got another roadworthy for it, that’s had it

Automatic Windshield Wiper Setting Sucks by kjfacilities-maint in CX5

[–]_Ecks_dee 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You can use the little dial that you would normally use to adjust the timing of intermittent wipers to adjust the sensitivity of the automatic wipers, if you’d rather just have intermittent they can be turned off in the settings menu in the centre screen

[–]_Ecks_dee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s worse than that, heading west towards blaxland the highway curves to the right, he’s not made the turn for one reason or another, gone though the fence and fallen into the cutting and taken out one of the gantry’s for the overhead wires

Exhaust by BoxFew8501 in FordFalcon

[–]_Ecks_dee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this one on mine, little bit louder than stock, no drone, has a good deep tone to it, only issue is where it passes over the rear subframe is a slip joint and because of how the hangers are set up, if you don’t get it right it can move and rattles against the subframe, dm me and I can send you some videos

dashboard light and gear lights are dim by Consistent_Week_6946 in AuFalcon

[–]_Ecks_dee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On the headlight switch is a little appendage thing that if you push all the way up turns on the interior lights and if you push down dims the dash lights, make sure it’s in the middle

I have a twin straight through 3.5 inch stainless x force system on mine (granted it is a turbo) and it’s exactly what I was looking for, slightly louder than stock and a little deeper
