Yes, Thanks... Brain Fart on my Part.

The rear doors cannot OPEN unless the Fronts are opened first.
The front doors cannot CLOSE unless the rears are closed first.

I've been a car guy all my life and I have never heard of this. Then I went to another forum where someone was talking about the repair of this (having something to do with either the starter, the electrical system, or the transmission) and still could not figure out what they were talking about. I know this is some kind of Australian slang, but what kind I could no tell you... So, what is this thing you speak of?

How about this for old school - how many of you on here know about the term "Tulip Panel" on top of your head? No internet search engine allowed

My parents referred to a car's vent or wing window as a "no draft." We little kids didn't comprehend the term, heard it and called them the "nose giraffe."

Hmm, no..... 100 some posts and you are the very first to mention points (sarcasm...duh)

Why do some people respond without reading the thread? What "car talk circles" do you frequent? Matchbox collector's club?

Anybody here "bust the miles" on an odometer, lately? Can it still be done?

Yes. Attach an electric drill and turn it backwards. That was the urban myth back in the day. It appears to be more difficult these days but given how often hackers are stealing millions of customer accounts protected by the best security, I doubt hacking your OBDM II port is that much more difficult.

Nobody's mentioned the "road draft tube". Or the Type 1 thru 4 crankcase ventilation. Or positive ground electrical systems.
