truman Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 IS this going to be another pelican crossing thread again - . Or even a perpetual motion one..? ---------- Post added 01-02-2013 at 14:12 ---------- So when 'most' of the car manufacturers abandoned having nuts holding the wheels on, and went for bolts instead, to prevent the 'user' from fitting them the wrong way around (cos of the taper on one side)... (result of FMEA)...they shouldn't have bothered cos it's a 'user' error? Why is it that most cars going back quite a few years have a buzzer fitted to stop you leaving the vehicle with the headlights still on?...It's the same 'failure mode'. Just interested in your opinion. Did you have a buzzer to say your interior light was left on? That's what the OP started the thread about..

PeteMorris Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 IS this going to be another pelican crossing thread again - where something doesn't conform to your exact opinion so it must be wrong and the world must change to accomodate you? American cars have different features to British ones. It's not a problem, and it's noit a failure. Get over it. Ah....so you dodge the question, and resort to the 'get over it' tactics....never mind...I wasn't that interested in your opinion anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I didn't dodge the question and I gave you my opinion. You like whining about things that are not a problem that's why you are asking these questions. As to why the cars from the USA do this, they do it because it's not a safety issue and that's what the people in the US want - to leave the interior lights on and not be bothered with a buzzer. Presumably they also remember to turn them off when needed. As to why they want this feature, I'm reliably told it is to do with drive in movies.

You really can be offensive at times, I was being perfectly civil, and polite...Oh well...I leave you to go and harass someone else....have a nice day!

Mr Bloke Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Ah....so you dodge the question, and resort to the 'get over it' tactics....never mind...I wasn't that interested in your opinion anyway! ...

Obelix Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Perhaps you should consider then why your posts trigger it - most other peoples posts don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
