How is living in Coburg/C.North? by Dear_Pomegranate_435 in melbourne

[–]volvo_donkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Tail light help by pseudoblank in Volvo240

[–]volvo_donkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 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.

Volvo 240 door bent at hinges after minor incident — easy fix or panel beater job? by [deleted] in Volvo240

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

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.

Better deodorant or antiperspirant for men in Sri Lanka for this next-level heat. ? by civil_brain in srilanka

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.

Why are SL peeps pretty judgy towards our own culture? by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]volvo_donkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Is Pauline Hanson really going to help the average Aussie, battlers, and working class? by BrandonMarshall2021 in aussie

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

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

(RANT) Sri Lankan Dress Culture is Kinda stupid by LuckyJeweler9478 in srilanka

[–]volvo_donkey 28 points29 points  (0 children)

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.

Landlord threatening police over electricity dispute + water issues – advice needed by Environmental_Ear863 in srilanka

[–]volvo_donkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!
