Didn’t I feel like a goose when I pressed the button on the dash and the shed lit up!!I do take offence to the under maintained line though. It gets serviced every 5000km which isn’t always every year as the Nissan doesn’t get driven all that much, hence I clean forgot that the switch was on the dash, as I had it in my head that the Driving lights were hard wired straight to the high beam.

I will stick to the under maintained I have seen and driven it :huh: that fact that you take offence is just a bonus :laugh: :laugh: there is more to maintance that a service
Mechanics should be able to trouble shoot driving lights, electricans do way more :laugh: but lets not split atoms thats neither a electrican or a mechanics job :laugh: :laugh:
Thanks for the laugh mate, I have done heaps worse myself

November 9, 2011 at 12:58 pm #211496A far as mechanical Faux pas go that one is minor in the grand scheme of things. I pumped 20 litres of brand new oil into a gear box of a dozer that didn’t have the drain plug in and it all soaked into the dirt. My old boss was a bit pissed about that one.

As for STM, enjoy it while you can Mate, you’ll get old ‘n crusty too one day, in Mick’s and my defence (as fellow old farts!!), it aint ability that stops us after dark, its just that … well as you get older openning hour slips a little earlier in the days activities to the point where driving after dark is just plain illegal. You only need driving light for those intricate little bike repairs that involve bright light, like fitting decals etc…Hey TB i need more emoticons, I want one for this little speil with a walking stick, hat, white hair and thick glasses!
Ineeded one the other day of one with a straw hat and a corn cob pipe, think i might have mentioned Nundle people in that bit of text …. :whistle:November 9, 2011 at 4:11 pm #211504I was pouring some diesel into my truck a few years ago and thinking to myself, hmm this is some soapy looking diesel (like it sometimes is). Turned out that it was soap, well truck wash anyway, 20 litres of it.
Found out about 2kms down the road when she was blowing bubbles out of the exhaust stack :laugh: :laugh: (not really it just stopped)
Turns out truck wash works best on the outside of your engine and truck!

Our sparky at work is a special breed, we had problems with the refueling ute, the fuel pump kept stuffing up on us so our special sparky had a look at it, after pulling everything apart someone pointed out that there was no fuse between the battery and pump, too easy for our special sparky and it was all fixed.
While refueling the digger the pump shit itself so we took a look under the bonnet, Ahhhh yep there’s your problem right there, the house fuse off an old switch board screwed in the engine bay just wasn’t doing the job.
He’s so special he should wear a stack hat everywhere he goes.November 10, 2011 at 4:09 pm #211509Further to the recent turn of events that lead to this thread being posted.

November 10, 2011 at 8:04 pm #211608I got up at 4am in the morning as we had an intruder in the house, I crept thru the house to front him and jumped around the corner yelling into the kitchen in the dark to be confronted by an excited 5 year old ready for his first day at school :laugh: :laugh: :blush:
Mick may have the article, he sent me a copy Salina has it somewhere I will see if I can find and scan it. Naturally being in the media he tells the story heaps better
