Eldron Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 It's been said before but deserves to be said again and again and again and again.... Press Fit BBs. They're kaaaaaaak.
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Probably the older generation not knowing how to pair the phone with the car or they were so used to not having bluetooth that they forget about it. Here I am often guilty just because I don't switch the bluetooth on my phone on.I keep it off as it eats your battery having it on unnecessarily

Long Wheel Base Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 mUYA7vX.jpgJeez what engine is that? Never seen a starter there before. The starter on the older model isuzu kb sits under the exhaust manifold. Only way to get to it is remove the manifold. Makes a simple job a nightmare.

Robbie Stewart Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 It ate at my OCD too when I had a Golf 6 - I just used the steering wheel controls because that button needs to face up!! Speaking about poor design, the on/off button on my Ranger's radio is the same knob as volume control (as with most cars - **** design to begin with), but it's so sensitive that half the time I try to adjust volume I switch the radio off! Isuzu does not have this problem. The Power is on the left, and the Volume control is the dial on the right, making control thereof very intuitive. In fact, it is so close to the steering wheel, I have resorted to using the dial rather than the steering wheel control, as it is faster that way. I use the steering controls to change tracks / channels. My music is streamed via bluetooth from my phone, which is mounted to to a air vent mounted magnetic phone clip thingamabob. Works a charm. That, combined with "OK Google" means I never touch it while driving.

Shebeen Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 SA's 2 prong plugs (not the Schuko ones), and every manufacturer that spec their products with an outboard DC adapter with these abominations.THIS! if i ever build a time machine, going to go back and take out whoever made that decision

Shebeen Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 staying on car audio. I know why we have car radios that can pick up SW and LW, but how hard is it to disable this option when you know country of destination? FM=>AM=>LW=>SW=>FM which is just two skips of static
Robbie Stewart Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Indicator on the left, wipers on the right... Having the left hand to change gears means you need the right hand to hold the steering wheel and indicate where you intend to drive. For this stupid reason of having the indicator on the left in many cars is probably why so many Saffa's are determined to forsake using that piece of automotive ingenuity.Again, Isuzu has managed to do this right.
Shebeen Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 This is what will happen... images.jpgexcept this is a blue screen of death, with no screen. it's just invisible blue death! they've fixed the software for the Fiat500, but not the lower volume models.

Shebeen Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 take a concept from mtb. and then just size it down to kiddie's bikes so you can't actually get a pump in to pump it up. some 12" tyres have a bent tube, heavenly!
