...bought a RR classic late last year... total lemon, and thats just the design! - never mind the money I've had to spend...and will spend... 4 new air-springs, compressor re-build, EAS valve body rebuild, buy EAS kicker to reset the bugger... undersized steering wheel (designed by LR marketing dept) and now the viscious coupling has bitten me!
= Its now a 2WD Rangie...

Bought a new solar HWS, Rinnai S/steel, complete with the mandatory 'Tempering Valve'... not as efficient in average weather as the old, leaking 'Solar Kleen' that was up there before... Suspect the Queensland-made tempering valve is tooo enthusiastic... But maybe not!

You are not alone

See ALDI - special buys from thurs 05 may - hurry, limited stocks in store*

I went to install it yesterday. I had to bend the bracket to aim the camera.

It snapped with the slightest pressure. The metal is as hard as... There's not enough material left at the camera end to drill and rivet the bracket back on.

The problem is that I cannot find the receipt and it's unlikely, based on previous experience with Aldi's suppliers, that they'll honour the warranty without the receipt.

I'll try taking the camera back to the store to see if they will swap it for one out of the box - assuming they still have some in stock.

Do you think it's weldable?

If not, is the camera removeable from the bracket? I have some sheet metal here & could make you a new one.

Not weldable and the bracket doesn't look like it can be easily removed.

We went back to Aldi and they swapped one out of a new box.

Elisabeth wouldn't let me send the dog back.

Yesterday the dog went to be desexed as it's now 5 months old. We got a call today. The vet says dog has teeth problems and need othodontic work to correct the angles of its canines!

Just what you need, a deprived dog with a crooked bite.

We were sent a paper about it. It starts:

A REMOVABLE ORTHODONTIC DEVICE FOR THE TREATMENT OF LINGUALLY DISPLACED MANDIBULAR CANINE TEETH IN YOUNG DOGS
Leen Verhaert, DVM
Summary: The malocclusion of lingually displaced mandibular canine teeth is a common orthodontic problem in the domestic dog.
