Did an airport run to collect:
1 Son
1 Daughter-in-law
1 Grandson
1 Granddaughter
2 car seats
1 pram
1 high chair
1 travel cot
4 carry on bags
6 suitcases
When I positioned myself in the middle in the back between the two car seats for the 12km run back to drop me off at the office I thought of the old Mitsubishi Canter TV ad - Not so Squeezy [wink11]
Today it had a rest.Quote:

Thought that I’d better have breakfast before I play around any more and have time to think. I reset it back to no DRL and all is good - except that one of the key fobs has a flat battery. Coincidence or just the car’s way of saying ‘don’t screw with me’?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9f399cec65.jpg
Hitched the camper and had a leisurely run 230km down the coast to Tumby Bay.
Set up at TBCP (lovely spot, right on the bay) and headed off to sign in for the Tumby Rifle Club OPM.
Here’s hoping it’s tight groups for the weekend [emoji41]
you can activate the DRL using the below procedure bizarrely convoluted procedure (similar to turning off the seat belt alarm by plugging it in and out 8 times when the moon is full and the tide is half) without the stress of potentially bricking the car!Quote:

Managed to distract myself from the electrical issue we've been having that turns off the aircon - trim on the drivers A pillar decided to come apart at 100kph!
Didnt enjoy the 45 min drive home with the window down holding onto the frame in case it came all the way off.
Will be hunting down new clips to replace the (remaining) old ones. I assume the trim needs to be removable to change out the windscreen so dont think I could just seal it on...

After all that I've read about blown brake lights causing all sorts of errors, I'm surprised the D3 was even working!!!!!
New Narva globe fitted this morning, and all is well.
Mr plod was more into talking about the merits, or otherwise, of Jeep Wranglers versus Discoveries, so we had a very amiable chat.
I would really like to know where people get these routines to turn stuff on/off. Is there one source for all these little tricks and tips?Quote:

I'm more interested in who comes up with such bizarre procedures!
