I'd say it would be. I think they're all resin based repairs now.Quote:

But I changed to my spare tyre as soon as the alert came on my dashboard and then took the tyre to be repaired the next day.
Then the annoying thing was to figure out how disable the tyre pressure alert on my car. :rolleyes: I've done it once before but I couldn't for the life of me remember how to do it again. Heck, even right now I probably couldn't do it again. :p It's not something I exactly do frequently enough to remember off the top of my head.
And that costs $75 per chip?! :eek:Quote:

I was expecting more like $10 as one would assume they'd use their kits which are good for a number of repairs. Anyway, had a quick look on ebay just before, pretty cheap one time kits for about the $5 mark. :)
Have a look in the glove compartment in your car, there's a book in there that most people either don't know about or just forget about that contains all the information you should need on resetting that alert. :) Not meaning to sound rude, it's just when I was at a car dealer, the amount of times people came back with stuff that could be solved back at their own place by reading the manual and not waste theirs and our time was, well, all the time. That was just a bit of a vent, but not at you.
Oh, I have looked through my handbook. It was about as useful as farting on a cyclone.
Automatic pressure sensors in cars? You guys got some sort of cybertronian tech in there??
If by Cybertron you mean Germany, then yeah. :p
School’s been back, what, 2-3 weeks? My kid’s already lost 2 jumpers, both labeled, both left at school and vanished.:mad:
Lost or nicked? It happens. Ya get the rough-nut families trawl the schoolgrounds after hours sometimes. You can often tell because suddenly their kid is wearing new uniform with the tags inside the collar cut off :rolleyes:Quote:

My work is driving me nucking futs at the moment. Factories that don't want to help you resolve issues and things are being built cheaply.... Sometimes I just want to go back to being an on the road technician.
