Alereon posted:All CO detectors since 2009 do alert at end of life. While I was on a work trip in Europe my wife was woken up at 0200 by one of the combo smoke/CO detectors I had installed seven years earlier when we moved into the house. She couldn't figure out WTF so she called the fire department who responded with two trucks and a Suburban. They used a fancy sniffer to determine that there wasn't any dangerous gas anywhere in the house and told her that it was probably an anomaly with the unit. 15 minutes after they left one of the others started going off, she freaked out and called them back. Two trucks and a Suburban. They couldn't explain it and for the rest of the night she sat in bed - fully clothed - ready to grab the dogs and get the gently caress out of there if it happened again. She used the time to get on the internet and find out about the planned end of life warning for those units. It had taken me about an hour to install the two detectors seven years earlier and those fuckers were accurate to within minutes of each other in setting off the warning. She called the fire department back in the morning to let them know that this was a thing.

sarcastx posted:yeah I figure the idea behind the softline portions is so the engine can move and whatnot but why they chose to use this lovely brittle plastic is beyond me. After I took this photo I tried to join the break together with a piece of vacuum line rubber patch that I had lying around (just so I could move the car up my driveway and into the garage) and broke the hose again just from handling it. Makes me wonder what the state of the other myriad 19 year old hoses are... I'm kind of impressed that Jag ran the tube ABOVE the intake runners instead of underneath them, since the latter would not obscure the normally-hidden logo and make lots of pounds and shillings for steadfast British mechanics when the inevitable break occurred and you had to remove the intake manifold to repair it.

I worked for a lawn care company back in the mid-80's spraying lawns. We took IMMACULATE care of our tanker trucks, washing them at the end of each day, hitting all the zerks (there were dozens) with grease at least weekly and drivers being responsible for 3000mi oil changes. This was rare and at the painting company where I worked for a while we rarely even rolled the windows up when it was raining in the work pickups.
