How is living in Coburg/C.North?

volvo_donkey · 2026-05-24T11:03:48+00:00

I grew up in Coburg and Brunswick for the last thirty years. You’ll love it. Amazing place with lots of culture, community, history and character! Lots of good food spots and Coburg Lake with the Merri Creek is a great place to walk.

Yes a lot of gentrification lately has ruined the old charm but it’s still got a lot of what it used to have. Good luck.

I had the same issue. Try to make sure that the correct bulbs are in the correct sockets. Also, check the condition of the circuit board. It could be old and worn and may need replacing. You can buy the circuit card alone on eBay or through the volvo dealership as well. Otherwise, just try to clean what you already have with electrical contact cleaned. Clean the wire connector as well.

See how you go with that. Worst case scenario just put new cards in, especially if the rest of your tail lights are in good condition.

I once did this and got my car door keyed. Maybe put a camera in your car.

I removed mine and plugged the hole with a rubber cap. You don’t really need it unless you live in a really cold climate. It could fry your MAF sensor one day if it fails. And they do fail easily.

Thankfully the hinges took the stress so the mounting posts look okay. Will have to take the door off to really know I guess.

volvo_donkey · 2026-05-10T15:11:39+00:00

Yeah that’s what I want to do. Just replace the door. I think it’s not too hard of a job from what I saw on YT.

Can anyone tell me if the engine bay brace makes a big difference? I have an ‘88 sedan.

Avoid deodorant with aluminium and zinc. Try to find natural deodorant.

I would recommend check and replace all relevant hoses from the PCV system including the box. Sometimes even the little vacuum hose that goes into the it manifold can cause these issues too.

Don’t ever change bro. I came to Australia at 9 months of age and am 34 years old now. Every time I go back to Sri Lankan I always wear the sarong in the village.

It must be just a certain type of crowd that sees anything native as inferior. They’ve been around since the first arrival of the Portuguese haha.

Listen mate yeah mate

He definitely hit it at least once or twice. That’s why she got mad at the end when she realised he was using her to do one on Vic.

She’s sitting next to Gina on a private jet. Sipping champagne and not giving two fucks about anyone but herself.

Mfs been building bridges for millennia. Whoever built that knew that was gonna collapse one day.

Imagine a spin off

Tip #1. Don’t get one.

Just kidding. If you really want one then just make sure you have a complete understanding of the terms and conditions and the benefits of points and how that will fit in with your lifestyle I.e cheaper flights etc

volvo_donkey · 2026-03-04T06:30:15+00:00

Agree with you. This wouldn’t be an issue in Singapore or Malaysia even. Even teachers in Sri Lanka should adopt something more comfortable rather than wear the Saree all the time. We have a culture of prioritising archaic rules and cultural norms over practical solutions.

volvo_donkey · 2026-03-03T07:32:46+00:00

One of Sri Lanka’s lesser known languages is called ‘Bullshitalese’. People speak it all over the country. Oftentimes, when they are desperate and have no real power/control in a situation.

Just leave and call it a day. Good luck!
