I need car help please.
I have a 2012 Mazda 3 that has been very reliable, but last week the AT light came on a couple of times for a few seconds. Each time, the car would jerk backwards a tiny bit and made a loud noise.

Took it to the mechanic, he fixed a long list of things (it was due for a service anyways) and said it was all sorted. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. It’s scary. I’m taking it back to the mechanic but if you have any suggestions on what he might need to fix so I don’t get ripped off pls share. He’s already charged me $1300 and I reckon the car wouldn’t be worth much more than that.

I really just need it to get through until about feb and then I’m happy to get rid of it

Your prob getting rolled.

Because you are a woman's ..

Also in what world is a 2012 Mazda 3 worth $1200?! MrsEddieBetts

200k+ kilometres and you’re probably looking at 7-10k depending on how it looks overall.

Like on a trade in I reckon it'd get about $4k which makes $1200 plus another whatever amount completely not worth it. It's done over 200k km. I don't have the energy for a private sale.

Do any of you travel for work often?

I’ve just moved into a national role and the guy I’m travelling with at the moment keeps wanting to book dinners with clients/stakeholders while we are away.

I’ve told him I HAVE to train as I’m a few weeks from competition so to book anything for during the work day and not after as ill be busy for 2-3 hours after work.

Is it just an expectation that if you travel for work that you will catch up with stakeholders after work? When I’m not travelling with someone to learn I can 100% confirm I won’t be doing that.

 

[Over The Post]

Dinners with clients/stakeholders have a higher expense potential than dining alone.

I think it's pretty standard, especially in a national role. That's been my experience in the past anyway - a dinner each night.

Is it more normal to put both shoes on and then tie your laces, or lace the first shoe before putting on the second?

• both socks on
• both shoes on
• tie laces

 

[Shell]

Does anyone else has a small tingly sensation on their face- mine is about the size of a five cent piece and is right between by eyes above my nose.

Apparently its related to allergies, but it drives me ****ing insane. Its like an itch you cannot scratch.

I get a similar sensation on the roof of my mouth due to allergies. Itchy, but you can't really get at it.

 

[Engimal v3]

I put my shoes on before my socks to save time

[Shell]

Was squeezing and rubbing the skin so badly the other day it caused a red mark.

Also gets worse at night I find.

 

[Shell]

Its literally skin. The part between the eyes above the nose, dead centre.
