think your making hard work of your meter to be honest, make sure you get 12v across your battery to confirm you even have the meter on the right setting first, probably says 40v or something similar, needs to be over 12v for sure all meters have a loop test circuit, you won't do any damage if you change the dial, hold leads together and fiddle until you find it as I can't quite see from pic make sure you understand the pin numbering is being reversed because your looking at the back of the plug, playing with something like a staple in the back of a plug is asking for fuse blows, just too small and fiddly try stripping a piece of wire or maybe a paperclip wrap it around the red probe 3 or 4 times tight with a 20mm extension so its tight/firm on the red probe then you have a smaller point to insert into plug and use black probe to earth somewhere near on the roof so the two leads arn't side by side and can touch and blow the fuse by mistake confirm your earth lead is actually earthed by checking for a loop between two metal points on car, door hinges are usually good points for earth one of those wires in the mirror plug has 12 volts so if you can't find it your not connecting correctly lastly I would have thought if you have used lighter circuit before you already know those wires so no lead required BTW pack of 100 assorted fuses is like $5 ON AliExpress , always have a pack handy

I've gone the other way, had triangles 20s on my 535wagon purely cost driven they were under 200 ea and when I finally changed, the noise at anything over 70km disappeared, it was shocking as I never realised it was the tyres that were doing it as they had been on when purchased, lasted well but were not good in the wet at all which I think is the issue with most of the cheapies, built for chinese concrete at low speeds as per their countrys experiences,I think the age thing is probably more apparant too with more plastics and possibly because they just last longer, A better tyre that lasts 30,000 k tops is hardly going to be old before its shot, yes they fill the rim low profile and look the part , some are alot better than others and you need to brand research and I would put them on my familys cars but I've reached a stage where i can afford and appreciate the difference now, up to a point that is, My current 4wheel drive commodore came factory spec with ps4 and its so good it would be criminal to even consider going lower spec.

can't remember exact details but think it was possibly value for buck over such a small gain or basically unproven gain, you would have to expect any good handling tyre is probably only goiing to last 25-30 on our tight single lane rough chip roads realistically you want longer you compromise and go to a harder material and denser tread pattern

https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/schematics-for-rear-view-mirrow.1459181/ no stripping for taps the pinouts are in there but your on the wrong page there, its not an easy thing to browse but its in there somewhere, if you find the module number of the plug you can search for it brown is definitely common for earth but not guaranteed ,put your mutlimeter in buzzer mode for loop testing i(t will make a noise when you touch leads together) and you can check the brown wire to a metal part of body or car, if ir makes a noise its connected, make sure you test between two metal parts of the car first to check your actually touching metal not paint, confirm you are touching a good earth for power set multimeter to dc volts probably something like 40v on the tool and look for a 12 v reading when the other lead is connected to the car body metal, test with key on and off , be aware alot of circuits don't go to sleep immediately when the key is off so make sure car has powered down and leave window open as opening the door will wake up some circuits

most reviews Ive read recently when looking ps4 was the preferred even over the ps5, never had any issues with re003 personally and has been the goto for me but price has jumped now, noise is the big issue for me and obviously want some good life which is an oxymoron to wanting a soft grippy tyre hands down the current ps4s 20" are the best tyre Ive ever owned/albeit inherited with the car but can I justify the price next time not sure to judge a tyre because you once slipped on a corner on holiday which was probably spilt diesel anyway seems a bit OTT, In Hb our roads are sh*t with potholes and rough chip so totally different to people travelling expressways at 110 km where noise will be totally different. Both PS4s and re003 handle the taupo road at license losing speeds with absolute ease which is a good enough test for me

bright side ,,its no where near as dysfunctional as wellington and its woke councilors

that's possibly a good thing Because it has to start somewhere, and attitudes snowball quickly, when BLM can raze entire city blocks to the ground I think the different protest groups we are dividing into are going to be the issue going forward, We were always 20 years behind the latest overseas craziness but that is changing safety also disappears in an instant if the countries economics sink, look at the fall of Venezuela, it can happen quickly. Immigration has made europe eat itself so hopefully we can learn from that long may we be simple and moan about small issues please

its almost like your immune system is weakened,, hmmm

You will probably laugh but seriously take a zb last model euro commodore wagon or hatchback for a test run, massive boot space the 2.0 turbo has ample power and great on fuel and the v6 is really impressive ,alot of car for the money,couple of differing spec and price points and being euro they actually handle and drive well, reasonably simple to fix and there are parts as they are rebadged opels and buicks underated and usually laughed off but take one for a drive, theres some good prices and low mileages around, the vxr is awesome and easily outspecs the 5 series

I hate the ones who when I'm daily turning right off a main busy road into our side street and am sitting on the white line waiting for a gap , they suddenly decide to be helpful and stop as they approach to let you through holding up all those behind and nearly causing nose to tails , completely against all road laws and just stupid dangerous, and there's always a gap about 2 cars behind them which you had already seen and anticipated, wife says there just being nice but I just wish they actually drove sanely and consistently. none of them ever look or aware of whats behind, I can forgive an obvious occasional gradual slow down from a long way back and even a headlight flash to give you the nod but otherwise they get the evil stare

also looking, where would I find Promo on facebook, messages still not working here?

they spent millions fitting wire rope barriers on the supposed single lane motorway between hastings and napier which everyone hates and causes more issues than it solves. the only death since I think happened in the 500 odd meters from roundabout exit till where the ropes started, Irony! after cursing them for blocking any overtaking whatsoever Its hard to notice that you can't go more than 1km without finding a stretch that has been damaged/hit, broken posts-wires flapping in the wind. does this mean all those hits were going to cross the center line? and they worked?, not so sure,it would appear more farm and heavy machinery seems to clip them because the road is now too narrow to be safe

Brisbane has had them for ages, I'm not completely against them or road safety if they catch the phone users which is what they use them for, they can even nab you with the phone on your lap ,got no proof but suspect phones cause alot of accidents which didn't happen 15 years ago.

NZTA never heard of them, use their correct te reo pakeha name please, 10 years? that just means its nationals fault because 9 years neglect no its combination of green ideology "cars are bad" and zero road toll its the perfect way to get everyone out of their vehicles oh and free public transport as your yoof demanded in their march the other day

https://www.sunlive.co.nz/news/303912-traffic-congestion-reported-on-sh29.html watch the clip, I wonder if they even had phone recording or missed the start what sort of new venezuela are we becoming

enjoy it while it lasts , be 80km per hour the whole way before you know it, yes I still ignore the 80 on the taupo road but its easier to get over the 40km over limit where the penalties get serious and they are investing in a whole lot of new cameras including timed gates, imagine when they clock you at start of journey and end and can calculate the difference,

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/holden/commodore/listing/3761163791 take one of these for a drive, there euro economical 9 speed 2.0 or v6 and go like a cut cat when floored, handle well, comfy and roomy, aussies didn;t take to them but there better than a mondeo and hugely underated, the car has the same floor plan so hatch is large too, can swallow 3m lengths of wood and sheets or ply easily

there's a rim breaking hole in Hastings main street, probably 20cm deep not quite in the middle of a roundabout that has had cold mix thrown in it at least 4 times in the last 4-5 weeks, only for it to be all gone 2-3 days later and be back to square one, criminal really, only good thing is its probably got a few cyclists judging by its location

we have hp pro series i5 laptops at work which we buy as they come up ex lease, put an ssd in them and they are still going strong 10 years old. if anything most lower end laptops have got slower because the holy grail is thin light and long battery so the old processors can still almost compete just. And the fact that most people use them for word zoom or internet so they are overkill anyway but I bet your not running the latest versions of photoshop, editing 4k video from a go-pro, try copying a big file through your usb compared to a usb-c port. Just saying its all relative and if that does you then all good. comparing your laptop to a surface pro, is like what model ? the basic one that had an i3 and 4 gigs of ram, again its all relative and pointless argument there, his has touchscreen, probably faceid which is the bomb and probably a high res screen. the new m1 m2 macbook airs are freaking amazing though, more power than the old intel pro macbook and battery life for days, they need to add faceid like the phones ,the price not so much

I look after a considerable number of both systems at work ,used to love apple but since they dumbed it down to basically ios on a desktop and locked everything including the system drive not so much, Trying to get apple to work well in a windows network is nigh on impossible now. And yes I'm fully qualified in both and go back to windows 3.1 and mac 8. Apple tv is no match for a simple chinese no name windows tv box, especially if your into free stuff like popcorntime, torrents, kodi, skysports etc. A lot of things are still better on a web interface chrome/firefox/brave than the app version including trademe, dropbox, onedrive for example. Spotify is totally different on a browser to the app and I run that all weekend while doing the weekend stuff,sound is hooked up to the onkyo reciever. plenty of power and choices to run a huge photo music video library as well as gaming. add a webcam and its your portal to the grandkids overseas, you can even use it to record tv with a tivo like app if you want for later viewing currently using an intel nuc with a wireless keyboard touchpad combo a bit dearer than an appletv but well worth it and its just simple things like multiple web browsers with all their adblockers and extensions. Youtube with no ads, facebook, no ads, zoom , messenger video chat, windows 10 is so much better now with screen sharing, phone connections etc but it does need you to kinda know what your doing to get the best out of it. on the odd occasion I will click on a youtube link from my iphone and am reminded how I hate ads so much,

probably depends on the colour but a little jiff on a damp cloth gently rubbed, the good thing about the low sheen is you can just run a roller of fresh paint over the mark once its off and it will blend right in and you won't see the touchup at all, I always keep some spare paint for knocks and repairs

its never about the money though is it, think the millions your councils have spent on bike tracks,lanes and proposed bridges, rail to nowhere that no one will use, reseal and straighten a few roads and you would save way more in the long term as a country, traffic that flows is using less gas especially in trucks

not disagreeing with you at all but devils advocate I guess you times your savings by every other car on the road say in the EU and it all starts to add up personally I think better tech designed around shutting off cylinders would work and mean we could still have powerful cars for when the occasion was wanted, v8s that idled along like a honda jazz around town but still opened up when planted.
