yeah "Ph <1"

depending on the concentration that could have ur hand off

hence why the instruction says wear gloves and goggles before using this stuff.....and a PH<1 is will go through anything as it is highly corrosive :P

What is this thing you call "soccer"? Sounds like some poofy game where it is more interesting to watch the grass grow on the pitch, rather than the so-called "action" on it ....

ok checked out agreement and it just says repairs need to go through the office of the agent which is fine i do that, but fuse and other little things i do myself. The heater blew up over a week ago and that needs to be fixed cause locky is just getting over a cold and there should be no reason as to why i cant have one since there was one when i signed the lease and i dont really care if he cant afford one find the money i say otherwise dont have a rental property

the mo-flo states that it contains sulfuric acid 1835g/L with a black diamond saying corrosive 8

I called joe blow the plumber out of the yellow pages and he said that stuff has to be used by someone who knows what they are doing with that chemical and that it you should be wearing protective clothing ect and that you cant buy this stuff over the counter you have to go to a plumbers supply shop to buy it

if it gets out of hand, the rental tribunal is there to help. probably wont need to get to that...

its pretty surprising that the landlord has some of that mo-flo stuff lying about, they really dropped the ball on their duty of care on that one. being given that stuff, and having to do it yourself is all ammo in your arsenal for getting this resolved.

if it were me in your shoes, id be wanting the landlord to have all of this fixed by COB tomorrow, its not your problem that he has to wait to have the money for the repair, that is what cash converters is for :P

for the heater get the agent to get on the landlords ass and get yourself one.....with the mo-flo well there is your answer....you being in the state of pregnancy should be no where near that stuff.....and obviously your average joe doesnt have the proper training in handling that stuff either......so if i were you then i would be getting in touch with the landlord and the agent and sort this out as the landlord carelessly put you at risk by giving you this "mo-flo" to do a job that needs a professional to look at it.....so basically your landlord was just trying to save $$

Seems your landlord may have just opened himself i big can of worms, considering it has a corrosive rating of 8 pretty sure legally you should have been supplied an MSDS. Especially seeing as it was used in an enclosed environment by an untrained and unlicensed person, and obviously in an improper manner as it will chew through DW rated PVC in no time if mixed incorrectly. I'd be reporting this to the Tennancy Tribunal and also to the agent as obviuosly the fumes have put you at risk.

ok boys i need some help.

My drain has been blocked for about a week now (I think its blocked) when you have a shower the water comes up out of the drain on the floor which is under the bench told agent at the inspection last week and the landlord sent his mum here about 15 min ago with some stuff in a black bottle saying sulfuric acid for drains, I read the instructions and poured 1/4 of the bottle down the drain and stand for 5 min then flush with cold water but it started smoking and had this really bad smell, i put a folded up towel over my face and held my breath and put the bath tap on and the smell has gone through my house and i have thrown up everywhere out the front. WTF

Ring a plumber with a drain snake!

Draino, and other drain acids will do f**k all!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
