Gone around idiots like that before, many times. One time the butt-wipe decided to follow me into a servo and have a go at me.

Changed his tune when I got out of the car and started walking up to him.

:down:

Yeh, I've done the same thing where the M7 merges with the M4 going west at the Lighthorse Interchange. Always seem to met someone coming from the northern end driving under 80km/hr, then Even though there is a small distance to the 110Km/hr sign they just want to drive at 80 or under until they reach the sign but don't seem to want to speed up to reach freeway speeds before merging.Just got to watch out for the semis coming from the southern turnoff as they accelerate around the big left hander. Very frustrating if you can't get 'round before getting on the M4. :rant:

Today a dump truck driver working on the Ballina bypass couldn't keep his lazy foot on the brake and rolled into the back of my M35 whilst stopped at the roadworks.

Like I really wanted to spend time getting quotes to repair the tailgate. I spoke to his boss today and I think he'll be visitng Centrelink soon...

I don't care how much it costs as long as it's fixed right. Biggest problem is, who has the time to go to 2 or 3 shops and explain what sort of car it is and how particular I want them to be etc etc ?

There are some marks on the front DS guard that are etched in and I'll ask about getting that resprayed since they'll be making up the paint anyway. So, maybe, at a big stretch, this cloud has a silver lining - with a clear top coat...

What happened to the rear wiper? Missing lol? Doesn't wipe rain away? As a side note, mine is pretty ordinary at clearing the rain. There's always a smudgy bit at the highest part of the wiping arc.

The damage to mine is pretty minor, but that could still translate to plenty of $.

It's a bit hard to see but there's a crease about an inch above the bottom of the tailgate and 2 main marks where something sharp stuck in. Also another mark, much smaller, outside of frame. A couple of plastic clips that hold in the inside lining also came out/broke off. That could indicate a less visible type of damage, but the tailgate seems to line up OK and opens and shuts like normal.

i think they bent the shaft from the wiper to the motor. so now its stuck..

ah no too much damage. should be a quick fix!

To, The pajero driver who felt the need to speed way above the speed limit just to squeeze me out of the only break in traffic as i was trying to merge:

You truly are a wanker, I hope natural selection catches up with you before you run a family with kids off the road, if I wasnt going to th BDO I would have done it myself

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
