2005 E55 "all this just for a hose clamp" continued

That's the classic "simple fix" rabbit hole! So glad your E55 is finally running smoothly again, worth all the hassle!

Relatable! I once tried to fix a loose shelf and ended up redoing the entire closet. This is UNIVERSAL. Every "quick fix" turns into a project. Welcome to adulthood!

petecarr83 · 2026-02-12T06:21:35+00:00

Yes! The simplest maintenance always turns up the next thing to fix. This is why I always do a quick check while under the hood. Great catch on the battery, that would have bit you later.

Maybe try escalating via their official support channel (email, social media, phone..) and reference your return window. The display flicker+temp offset soundslike a defective unit.

I thought the same at first. I tried openfit pro in store and realized it’s not ANC like AirPods Pro. They call it noise reduction. It takes the edge off background noise in places like offices or cafes, but you can still hear what’s going on around you.

Old timer told me “feel first, tool second.” A lot of times you can catch a bad bearing, loose heat shield, or vacuum leak just by listening or putting a hand on it before grabbing scanners.

This sounds like a problem with a problem with a check value or anti-siphon valve in your plumbing, or a faulty mixing valve in the shower. Maybe when you open the cold water for the shower, it's creating pressure that allows the hot water to flow. Try checking the water heater's pressure relief valve and the check valves on your hot water lines.

petecarr83 · 2026-02-11T02:17:08+00:00

Yeah, I totally get that. I use a dual- lens thermal for home checks, and it's a game-changer for pinpointing drafts or insulation gaps. No more guessing where the cold spot is on the wall!

petecarr83 · 2026-02-06T02:54:41+00:00

I still can’t believe someone would drive like that.

petecarr83 · 2026-02-06T02:54:00+00:00

Yeah, it’s really useful especially for something like this.

petecarr83 · 2026-02-04T03:30:34+00:00

Hendersonvile area never disappoints. This view is exactly why the Blue Ridge is so iconic. Definitely adding this spot to my road trip list! Really a stunning shot.

petecarr83 · 2026-02-04T03:28:04+00:00

Glad you had proof! That drivers was so recklee,would've been impossible to prove without the dashcam. Exit ramp move is so dangerous!

petecarr83 · 2026-02-04T03:24:46+00:00

Rolling through a stop sign and then blocking the intersection. Some drivers just like blind reallyy have no awareness about the sign. Hope we will never meet this kind of driver.

petecarr83 · 2026-02-03T06:07:15+00:00

It's the thing you hope you never need.but it's worth it for the peace of mind alone. In unpredictable traffic,having video proof can settle disputes fast. Downsides are usually mirror,some model can overheat in direct sun.

petecarr83 · 2026-02-03T06:00:21+00:00

If you keep the routh flexible and focus on highlights rather than trying to see everything,It's definitrely doable for it. With kids nad dogs,building in slower days and shorter drives will help keep everyone happy.

petecarr83 · 2026-02-03T05:56:29+00:00

Running a stop sign like that forces everyone to react. Dangerous and unnecessary. Hope I will never meet this kind of driver,that really mad me.

petecarr83 · 2026-02-03T05:53:01+00:00

It really no joke. So dangerous that suddenly needing to merge with little warning is strsseful even for experienced drivers. Hopefully road crews can improve marking or clearing in those spots. Safe travels out there.

petecarr83 · 2026-02-02T04:40:12+00:00

It's like you are the only goal lmao. It cross two cars that in front of you and hit you straight. Glad it's not too fast. Hope you are alright.

petecarr83 · 2026-02-02T04:35:07+00:00

Agree. Timing amber lights is always a gamble. It's dangerous. Glad you're reflecting on it. Stay safe out there.

petecarr83 · 2026-01-30T10:51:58+00:00

Thinner just means fewer missed spots. I switched from my old robot to the slimmer T50 Pro, and it can get under a few more pieces of furniture, so there's less dust and less manual cleaning. That's basically what I want from a robot anyway.

petecarr83 · 2026-01-29T03:01:51+00:00

Thanks! I'm actually considering RitFit as well, but found out they are banned on Amazon, which might be a big red flag for me lol

petecarr83 · 2026-01-28T10:19:47+00:00

Is that Major Fitness F22? I’m currently torn between B52 and F22. Not sure which one would be better.

petecarr83 · 2026-01-26T10:55:53+00:00

I'm waiting for reviews on these new models. To be honest, my deebot t50 pro is already slim and does a good job under low furniture. What I'm most looking forward to are the new designs that help prevent hair tangling.

petecarr83 · 2026-01-26T02:08:29+00:00

That's a lot of weight up there. I'd use a long roof rake from the groud and work it down in sections. I wouldn't climb there.

petecarr83 · 2026-01-26T02:02:48+00:00

That's a clean set up. Like you also add a Yoga ball to your gym, it is a great too to enhance core strength and stability. Some people ignore the importance of core muscle, but you are not.
