BYD Seal tips, tricks and help
Preaching to the choir but "any" dealership repair, be it ICEV or EV, is not cheap based on their business model and repair policies. Example: Toyota dealership repairs. - Around 18 months ago a "plastic nipple" on my 2009 Fortuner radiator broke off...this nipple was the small pencil-sized hose around 25cm long that connects between the radiator and plastic coolant tank. With this plastic nipple broke off flush with the radiator the radiator pressure couldn't build-up....would allow the coolant to boil at a lower temperature and of course lead a little coolant all the time. I went to my Toyota dealership assuming they could do a quick, cheap repair by somehow repairing that broken plastic nipple. But oh no, they wanted to charge almost Bt11,000 which includes a radiator replacement, radiator fluid, labor, etc.., and would take a whole day. Basically, Toyota was saying they don't do such minor repairs...it's replace the end item/higher assembly which was the entire radiator in this case. I even went to another Toyota dealership and was told the same thing. So, I came home and used an old, modified tire air valve casing to make a new nipple. I stripped off the valve rubber and removed the internal stem which just left a small metal tube of just the right size....match the old plastic nipple size. Then used high temperature gasket RTV to secure the tube to the radiator. I let the RTV dry overnight. Next morning I have a new radiator nipple to attached the hose to....back in business....radiator now builds to normal pressure....zero leaks even as of yesterday (18 months later) when I happened to take a look inside the Fortuner engine bay. -

MAGA demands arrest after Cryptic Post by James Comey Sparks Federal Scrutiny
A bit sad former FBI director wouldn't know what 86 stood for, but then again, neither did I until 5 minutes ago. I was never FBI director, though... -

Do you guys feel good about this ,the reporter says to ICE agents as…
It is not as easy for farmers who need a lot of people for short harvest seasons. The worker needs to find an employer that will hire him while not in the country. And then the employer needs to file the paperwork to get the worker into the country. The farmer will need to do this for each one. To qualify for H-2A nonimmigrant classification, the petitioner must: Offer a job that is of a temporary or seasonal nature. Demonstrate that there are not enough U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available to do the temporary work. Show that employing H-2A workers will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers. Generally, submit a single valid temporary labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor with the H-2A petition. (A limited exception to this requirement exists in certain “emergent circumstances.” See e.g., 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5)(x) for specific details.) -
