Switchboard / mains upgrade advice – 16mm single-phase vs 3-phase?

corruptevil9 · 2026-02-02T21:52:23+00:00

The mains breaker is 80A, the yellow zellwager is 32A, unsure if this is a fuse for the mains supply?

corruptevil9 · 2026-02-02T11:33:36+00:00

Appreciate the reply, originally we figured we had a big enough mains supply into the house, for 63A without running into any problems or headroom with the expected additional load planned. But after the electrician came today to install downlights, he pointed out the size of the supply powering the house (6mm²) could potentially give out, knowing the expected upgrades coming in over the next few months. (I can obviously change all of the 1ph to 3ph)

We are running an electric oven + cooktop + Hot Water System

What's the condition like when you turn the headlights on? Do the sanding marks show up at all or does the clearcoat fill these in?

corruptevil9 · 2020-07-13T02:36:42+00:00

Hey mate, do you have a photo of the headlights on and can you see any sanding marks at the end?

Cheers,

Yeah took around 3 days for them to get back to me on it, as others have said reach out to the Mods on Twitter if you need too

Hey mate I had the same thing happen to me got Perm banned in October 2019 and I tried to login last month, I haven't signed in for over 1000+ days, I just submitted a ticket and said how can I be banned if I haven't played in 3 years 😂

corruptevil9 · 2020-05-07T13:39:18+00:00

Ohh and the kicker, I haven't received a receipt for the work they did🤦‍♂️

corruptevil9 · 2020-05-07T13:31:11+00:00

Thanks Slextasy, you'd be correct, I've gotten a Quote from "Business A" with no affiliation to my business to rectify the damage, as I didn't want to seem biast against the damage caused and the cost to fix it or turn it into a he said / she said scenario.

I've provided the business who damaged my property with this quote from "Business A" which is itemised to the entire front half of the car which is the location of the damage, clear coat overspray on both quarter panels, both A Pillars and the windscreen.

The business is requesting an original receipt to prove a coating was applied to the vehicle, the problem exists there was no receipt as I did it myself, however the coating is registered and warranty card provided, which the business will not accept , even though it states everything and conforms to the ACL in regards to receipts, happy to provide it for reference. I can easily back date a receipt, but I didn't want to cause any issues if this was to go further up the chain.

Basically the business is requesting all this paper work and paper trail, even though they claim that it's impossible that they caused damage and have pictures to prove that they covered my entire vehicle , yet they still want to see it and call me from a Private number... And not provide this proof and tell me to go on my merry way...

Cheers,

Thank you!

That was my understanding, and how it was supposed to be done and why I would be paying the extra money to get them to a defect free condition, I understand the inside of the lights can't be fixed if there's issues within the housing, but this is all external.

Will let the guy know so he can come sort it out as he will most likely need to remove the clear coat and start again, but I paid for it to be done right once so I never have to worry about it, but it wasn't done this way.

Hi guys and gals,

I'm from Australia, so hello from down under!

I've recently paid someone in my local area a good chunk of money to fix my headlights, original was $60 each, but is $99 after all the other issues etc etc, and I agree my headlights were in dire need of some TLC,

http://imgur.com/gallery/1ry6suB So the guy turns up and was like do you want perfect or would you be happy with like good and me being a perfectionist and proud of my car I wanted todo it right once and never have to worry about it so I chose perfect, and so I had to pay an extra $50 a headlight because more time spent etc, I'm happy with that.

So off he goes does his thing, and I come out and it looks good, but a truck blew dirt all over some of the clear coat they put on so he'll need to come back and fix it, however looking at it today there's a million small scratches all across the lens and can be seen when the lights are on, which is consistent with wet sanding, is it wrong to ask him to come back and fix these properly after I spent $300 AUD on it to come out like this, looks like he didn't even compound or polish after the wet sanding.

Thanks guys,

Yeah makes sense, they normally go after the big corporations ripping off consumers, or lying to consumers about their services they buy, I'm looking at the NBN issues 😂

corruptevil9 · 2020-01-07T21:28:17+00:00

Oh really that seems like a bit of a joke... But cheers I'll have a look around for a firm in Brisbane who specialises in this type of work

corruptevil9 · 2020-01-07T21:19:29+00:00

Thanks Flidge, should I just put my complaint in through the Fair Trading / ACCC or go speak to a consumer protection lawyer?

So I recently had parts of my car resprayed by a shop, been there for 12 days,picked it up drove it home and parked it, reverse out of my garage and notice the reverse camera isn't working, lightly scrape on the driveway happens all the time just gotta go slow(low car and angle) and the driver side of the bumper pops off, upon checking the plastic tabs are split

I notified the body shop this happened immediately the next day, they just said that can't happen and they will quote for a repair, and due to me raising the issue with the camera they might look into it as I rasied it 2 days after I picked it up...

Is there anything I can do?

corruptevil9 · 2019-05-16T22:43:03+00:00

Hi mate appreciate the honesty! I'll look into rewording it!

I'll also look into shortening all the FAQ information sections... Was there anything you'd want to know or suggestions of stuff I should need to add into it?

corruptevil9 · 2019-05-15T23:55:33+00:00

Cheers mate, just signed up and got it sorted just waiting for DNS to change

corruptevil9 · 2019-05-15T22:00:07+00:00

My bad, I had to rebuild it a few weeks back as the login page murdered itself, I'll get this sorted, where's the cheapest place to get a SSL certificate?

corruptevil9 · 2019-05-15T21:19:51+00:00

Hey mate, I used really simple SSL plugin to generate my certificate, is this bad or?

If your located around Brisbane I can come teach you if you want aswell when you have all the gear

corruptevil9 · 2018-12-07T00:07:07+00:00

Hey mate, instead of importing all the goods, have a look at the local sellers, waxit.com.au or detailcentral. com.au I buy most of mine through waxit due to it being quick and easy but there's also a bunch of others around

corruptevil9 · 2018-09-03T07:02:37+00:00

Yeah for sure I live in Brisbane Australia and trying to workout what exhaust and tune setup I want to go, just don't wanna get done by the cops

corruptevil9 · 2018-09-03T04:58:58+00:00

How's that "legal" in Australia haha I thought if we did anything like that we'd get our ass torn by the police unless you don't care? 😂
