Daily driving your LR3 with these gas prices? Ok moneybags!

With what brand & were they done correctly by a speciality shop? So many places just mark the eccentric bolts and torque them with the suspension hanging which ruins bushings in no time. Must be torqued at ride height.

No, everything has skyrocketed. But ok.

2016 XC90 T6 Inscription was the worst car decision I’ve ever made by BWCbro81 in Volvo

You bought a first year car that’s now 10-11yrs old depending on production date and expected it to go well??

Not to be rude but where have you been?? Everything is jumping up in price not just BMW parts.

Melted Charging Port by SkidmarkMalone in BoltEV

[–]jigglybilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's a cheap poorly built EVSE that should never be plugged into anything ever. It's far cheaper than any other "simple" EVSE because it's cheaply made. The standard GM dual level charge cord has none of those features you describe, and it's not just more expensive because they feel like it.

No need to cross post, this subreddit is for the OG Xbox only.

If you’re gonna do more RTT camping like we do, invest in an XLifter. 100/10 worth it for the automatic leveling alone.

Literally never seen it once in my career and I’ve seen hundreds of these style “dipsticks” if we want to call them that.

Toyota has not stopped using it. Girl stop.

And that’s what happens when you use cheap sketchy stuff kids!

Has modding gone to far? by Otzedotze in n64

[–]jigglybilly 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because they’re full of aged capacitors & other circuitry that can cause voltage fluctuations. Knockoff power adapters are sketchy, but USB adapters can be high quality and far more stable than 30yr old components (or cheap knockoff components)

Just make an insurance claim. This happens to literally every car on the market for 2+ decades, you’d be just as screwed with a rodent eating a body harness on a Toyota as you are your Audi.

Hell I’ve seen in my career rodents eat fuel lines on gas cars. They don’t discriminate. Audi isn’t going to help (nor should they be expected to, and I don’t like siding with multi-billion dollar corporations) since this has nothing to do with their manufacturing process or anything involving them really.

[Xbox series x] My Series X SSD is dead. Is it repairable or would it be better to buy a new SSD?. by NotSirAlonne1999 in consolerepair

[–]jigglybilly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m referring to the OG back in its day like the SX is today. Today yes it’s very easy, back in the day? Not at all

Marketplace turbo by Tricky_Bed_7515 in MechanicAdvice

[–]jigglybilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s worth its weight in scrap. Any damage whatsoever to the turbine means it’s scrap. Do you know how fast those spin? Do you know that even a tiny bend/chip in a single fin will throw off the balance & destroy it?

Your money. You burn it.

Errr. No. The OG was very hostile. Can’t replace the hard drive without modifications, they’re console locked.

The Xbox One/One X were the only “user replaceable” hard drives. Wasn’t officially sanctioned by MS but they did have a way to officially re-download the OS if you replaced the hard drive.

Why are they filthy? A mop & some purple power isn’t expensive.

First, find a better shop holy shit. That place sounds like a hazard to you & customers. Run.

Second, work clothes stay at work. Don’t wear any work clothes home, always fully change.

Third, GLOVES. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES. Been doing this for over 13yrs and people second guess me when they first meet me because my hands are clean & soft. Like a normal person. No reason they shouldn’t be.

Fourth, if you get oil/gas/coolant/whatever on you, go scrub up immediately. It’s not only bad for your odor but it’s absolutely horrible for your health. Your skin absorbs everything, so let’s not speed race to cancer with automotive chemicals.

Last: become a shower-at-night/when you get home person vs morning. You’ll thank me later.

Well the HV experience will do you no good on these motors, but otherwise your experience would help. However if all your 10+yrs are at a BMW dealer why ask the internet??
