Diesel in a petrol engine is much better than the other way around. Something sounds suspicious. What exactly is broken with the engine?...

Ask the seller to deliver it? Just be careful to ensure payment happens after delivery.

Presence commented on Any Raspberry Pi Expert in Sydney Willing to Help a Newbie?
The factory case can obstruct certain HDMI cables. Test it with no case! Then get a file and make the port openings on the case larger.

Presence commented on Moto C and Moto G Not Really Useful with Dual-SIM?
I have a Moto g5 and the second SIM slot is useless in Australia.

WD40 is not a lubricant and won't help. You need oil or grease.

With a 1050Ti you can run through original crysis pretty damn well at full HD.

Presence replied to  AlienC on I Want to Know Where I Can Buy a Refurbished Gaming Desktop?
An SSD is the best possible thing you could do for your PC. I don't know hope people tolerate computers without one.

Presence commented on Should You Sandwich HDD & SSD Together in Dell Optiplex 9010?
If you have any issues just use Velcro. SSDs are so light is perfect.

I doubt it very much. The creative sub includes the amp, remote control writing, etc. You'd have to dismantle it

And you came to a bargains website to ask about asbestos? It's harmless if it's not disturbed. Just leave it.

Presence commented on Exorbitantly Expensive Apartment Security Keys? Is This Allowed?
What does the key open? Just your apartment door or a common door? If it's just yours you can just buy a new lock. They're easy to install.

Look on eBay for a faceplate. This is the name of the piece of plastic that allows you to use din sized stereos.

I imagine the cost would be his main concern. Still HECS are good loans and the price of not having a job is a lot higher.
