Appliances that auto turn-off after a short period without any way to de-select such a function. Drives me nuts!

Geez.... I hate that there isnt an bloodline eradication program for the idiots who came up with brilliant ideas like needing to remove the entire pedal box just to replace the accelerator pedal module in a B series Falcon....

That is my pet hate, engineers doing stupid designs and us tradies having to do maintenance/repairs that should be simple instead of being complicated and time consuming.

Two days past rego inspection and my ute’s headlight stalk has failed. No dipped or high beam (excluding flash). It will be the one wire that wasn’t broken last time I repaired it. :-(

At least it was past rego inspection and not before.

True. But a sinking feeling to hop in at night, twiddle the stalk and it’s only Dim City. Headlight control wiring wasn’t one of the B-series’ stronger points. AU is far better.

Cue the “Lucas headlight switch” joke. If the next repair doesn’t last, I’ll be seriously tempted to put in a “Grandpa” mod for high and dipped lights, with centre off toggle switch. |

The K125 has a dash mounted switch for clearance, a switch for parkers, a switch for headlights, the good old foot switch for highbeam and the bolt on signalstat stalk for indicators. Classic. Lucas would be proud.
