The Worst Car Issues People Have Ignored | Ep 206

[@NormanTh3ee]

Flashing your hazard is very common thing in Britain when someone lets you in like that.

[@Sir_Uncle_Ned]

My dad had a second-hand Land Rover (First warning sign) that developed a knocking (second warning sign) which persisted for several years through multiple other problems being fixed (third warning sign) until one day it abruptly got way worse and ultimately the engine died. Turns out, there was a crack in the crankshaft that grew under it went all the way around.

The instrument cluster in front of the driver is often one big component now with it's own ecu. And if that ecu is defective nothing on it works. In the cars i know, that instrument cluster+ replacement would probably be around 1500-2000€. But then everything works again and if that's the only problem with the car, you could also get a used part and a workshop to install it. If it's a new enough car you need the workshop to "make the other ecu's accept" the thing. 20:07: If the car has a catalytic converter (and you are young enough that it had one for sure) you will damage that thing doing that too often. And catalytic converters are way more expensive than a new battery.

My first car was a 1978 Toyota Corolla Hatchback in 1989. It had 1 wiper (out of 3, the passenger side has a nice arc from the wiper arm) and no speedometer. My dad gifted me a radar detector and told me to slow down when it started beeping. About 2 weeks later, I was pulled over by city police who had to grab a clothes hanger from his car to hold up my muffler which was dragging on the ground, unbeknownst to me.

I know someone with a photographic memory. Every time he “goes back” to remember something, he closes his eyes and you can see them flicking back and forth under his eyelids as if he was flipping through a book.

[@aaronturner80]

I had a Ford Fiesta and felt like the big cheese giving my family a lift. That was until we heard a bang and then saw my spare wheel rolling along the road beside us. The tray holding it underneath the car clearly couldn't be arsed doing its job anymore.

[@theeverlovableme9121]

I can imagine Eloise heading towards the kitchen for a drink and Skin angrily shouting "there's a glass of water RIGHT THERE!!!!" Lol

[@WeGotTheChocolates]

100% would happen 😂

[@klaymann888]

great podcast again boi's .. flicking ya hazards is a common gesture with Truckies letting each other in to the lane

[@DavidDuffin]

This is exactly what I said!

[@jaromanda]

Cars and indicators ... had a VL Commodore that on hot days (above 30) using the left indicator would honk the horn in time with the indicators flashing ...

[@marktubeie07]

Great you see Mickus in the 'big chair' !

[@jamesahibbard]

To be fair to Mickus, rainbow is the best paddlepop flavour. I mean, do other flavours even exist?

[@powerunderwhelming]

I've had some magical cars due to my tendency to not spend more than £500 on one. First one I got in the UK was sold to me by a guy who literally introduced himself as "Honest Joe". Probably should have left then, tbh. Didn't get chance to test-drive it over 30mph, but bought it anyway. Turns out that at 35mph, all the failing bearings used to start screaming. Sounded like a jet engine ramping up. When I got it seen to, the rear bushings disintegrated entirely as well. The mechanic sorted it out and stopped answering my calls...

[@garygunning6346]

The flashing hazard lights as a thank you is a thing in the UK

[@chesh1rek1tten]

Same in Germany

[@happylittleanimal2641]

I'd swap that line for, "Once the balls drop..."

[@alexandersaksvoll5373]

Please tell me that "hurts... no it was Thrifty" joke was as spontaneous as it seemed :D brilliant stuff anyways!

[@theeverlovableme9121]

I've driven for Lyft/Uber for about 6 years and have given 18k rides. I'll pick up passengers and remember them from months ago......the trip they took, our conversations.........it can become a bit awkward if they don't remember me though........lol

[@alexm9479]

On holiday in Crete I returned a hire car to a guy who was basically standing on the street and said he was from the company, and then wondered for weeks if that was legit.

[@iampete8692]

Poor Godel's got the Hershey Squirts? That's unlucky

[@jamiestewart7327]

I brought some BETTER BEER, called my mates over, couple of cold ones, couple of hot ones, talking shitz'n'giggles.... next thing ya know... I WON THE CHOCOLATES! Alot easier than it sounds 😂❤ Love you legends

[@stevenbaker107]

Hi Skin, Leigh, Gode and Mickus, Dave and Charlie. How are you all doing? I love you guys. Congratulations on the wedding Skin

[@stuearth5076]

I tried to walk through the late night drive thru for a Maccas in Adelaide to get another burger after we'd already been through, and they wouldn't serve me without a car.

[@-10ranch]

My Car does the Max volume every time I start it!

[@khialmuhammad5786]

As I Told You Before Leigh And Mitchell Are My Favourites ❤❤They Are Natural.

[@sillysongs19]

quote of the episode "That's what we're all about on this podcast" killed me

[@AQCorner]

Cracking episode, that new game is an easy favourite 👍

[@WeGotTheChocolates]

Oh bang love to hear that!!

[@disorganized22]

I think Mickus should read every joke.

[@iampete8692]

How long do you want the pod to go for?

[@WeGotTheChocolates]

Hahaha 3 hours minimum

[@DoubtingTaom]

Ute dashboard costs ~A$449.00. So, yeah. Mad money to buy the car for $2K.

[@tripnick555]

The wedding is on the 27th? What are the odds!?

[@patricksmith9339]

You guys cant imagine the junk vehicles we see on the roads around Metro Detroit area in the U.S. people will drive anything even with problems.

[@continentalrcinglg]

On Whose Line? the prompt is always "Things you can say about your [insert object here], but not about your girlfriend/partner".

[@jay_proud]

Good gear guys, thank you.

[@theeverlovableme9121]

Arrived on purpose........stayed for the helluvit ......lol

[@divarachelenvy]

I loved this show, cheers.

[@brendanhart517]

I mean my first car the key fell apart so it was held together with tape. I thought it would be fine but turns out there was an immobiliser built into the key so despite having the key it just couldn't start.

[@Alacrity199]

I have a photographic memory, recall is a bitch though.

[@JibJab67]

Mickus was robbed of the Bexting point!

[@adsy6819]

Thanks Godel

[@WeGotTheChocolates]

Gödel seemed in a better mood this week

[@erictaylor5462]

We have a bar in town called Wanker's Corner.

[@FlashGeiger]

I have a photographic memory.... but it's undeveloped. (That joke doesn't work on anyone under 30 years old so I'm going to have to retire it soon.)

[@stevennott6139]

When the key battery goes flat and you have to use the key manually,you have to do is put the key in the ignition and turn it on,shame men don't know about cars any more

[@tomdelisle8955]

Skin is getting married on the 27th, nice coincidence

[@CrashOrganism]

14:14 Thank f**k I am not an Austrlian man. . .

[@WeGotTheChocolates]

Yeah so right 😂

[@stevennott6139]

It's called an instrument cluster, probably just needs replacing, real men would know how to change it,not that dear from wreckers, normally easy fix

[@theeverlovableme9121]

Skin: I'm a vegan so get that meat outta here

[@steve0680657]

Poignant episode number.

[@WeGotTheChocolates]

Hahaha what ? Have I screwed up again?

[@KRTuck]

What hat is Skin wearing?

[@WeGotTheChocolates]

They are called Birds of Condor!

[@Joogaberry]

Get well soon godle. Who needs to exersice when you can drop a pants size or two with a bout of gastro.

[@Robert.Sheard]

Are you really getting married on the 27th? What are the odds?

[@WeGotTheChocolates]

Surely did it on purpose 😂
