Damn it !!!
Was out putting a new starter relay into my Ranger.
Just about done and was just snugging up the 2 bolts that hold the battery in and batter out cables. Snugged it just a tad bit to much and broke the damned thing....... It started right up anyway but I will have to get to town and get another 1. Randy |

The stud insert just went to the plastic with 0 support around it. No way it wouldn't crack open if more then finger tight. Will go to town tomorrow and pick up a better quality part. Will cost me more but it will at least last thru the installation. Randy |

No offence to individual Chinese people but I wonder why China insists on
turning out such rubbish. They would still be cheaper than most things the west makes even if they spent an extra 50% on quality improvement. Trouble is, in Australia almost every consumer product is Chinese. Now they are starting to export cars to Aust. Think I,ll pass on them. |

Randy ________ check carefully, sometimes you will pay more for a better "quality" (touted as such) part, and it may be just as big of a piece of **** as the cheap one... |
