If a car has functions which can be controlled by a smartphone app then, if that car is sold secondhand, it may still be able to be controlled by the previous owner.

Many years ago before a trip to Australia I remember finding someone recommended a car hire company in Sydney (Bayswater). It worked out well.

When I lived there I was told the radar on the cops' cars were able to read one's speed even when their car was moving. I found it hard to believe but always slowed if I saw one coming towards me in case..
Also look out for the high number of white crosses and shrines by the side of the road - lots of fatal accidents - their stricter approach to speeding may by now be having an effect.
Their ambulance network isn't anything like ours - it may still be the case that outside the big cities most paramedics are volunteers. Also the time it takes an ambulance to get to the site of a remote accident means that moderate injuries / bleeds can prove fatal.
Again things may have changed but their insurance system used to be different meaning that a 16 or 17 year old could cheaply insure an imprezza - hence the white crosses.

I don't suppose any injectors can be made exactly the same so the ability to aim off for that is a great way of dealing with it. If the result is that the injection timing and volume is perfect then it isn't really a fudge.

The apparent impossibility of making fast high multiplication zoom lenses as small as they are in compact digital cameras is partly explained by having massive distortion, barrel at the wide end and pincushion at the long end, and then fixing this in the image processing.

I replaced both key batteries (CR1620) some 4 months ago with ones bought from a well known retailer. Last week one failed to work the locks on the car in a town 15 miles from home. Fortunately I carry the spare key with me (after a similar occasion when I had to walk home). The batteries were of a make I didn't recognise. I went back to the shop and bought another two batteries, this time of the shop's own brand. I changed the one that was flat and then had to train both keys to use them on the alarm system (very laborious because I am cack handed). When I bought the car, and had new batteries fitted by the dealer, the batteries lasted years and never gave any trouble. Is the brand sold by the dealers superior ? Read more

If I were choosing a brand name to be relied on, I wouldn't go for that one. Or have we all forgotten Cap'n Bob?
