To add to the already myriad of threads started by me today:

While fooling around with my electric aerial over the weekend, or should i say "that area of the car" I noticed something strange.

there's a metal resistor-like ceramic and metal doohickey attached to inside the rear quart panel next to the electric aerial, I had to remove/disconnect it to get the aerial out and stuff....put the aerial back in, and still didn't find WHY the hell it wont go more than halfway up.. grrr! anyway

Jump back in the car, go to drive off, and the airbag light is now on!!!....I don't think i bumped anything down there but still...

Back to the metal resistor/doohickey -- When I pull this out/disconnect it the car wont idle for more than a minute.

I start the car, everything is fine.. then 30secs later is stops.. cuts out completely. nothing. starts fine again, 30secs later the same thing.

Maybe it's unrelated, but now my airbag light is on. I've tried an ECU reset, but cant think of anything else to try eh...

HELP!

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
