Thanks. As per your comments, see a few that look fine. Guess it's more how surprised I was that the short plastic ones which were available here were so bad. (Find it difficult to even picture the structure that allows totally opposite readings of incline based on 180-degree rotation...)

Well, my old one must have walked away in the months since last used. Guessing it was a 36". The short (torpedo?) ones still here are very inaccurate (with the turn 180-deg test for example). Thought to do a quick check at BITOG. Online, see a (German?) brand Stabile highly rated, but looks...

If it's not too inconvenient, you might consider "defrosting" a typical frost-free refrigerator/top-freezer once in a while. Remove contents, un-plug and let it warm up etc. Could be a good time for interior cleaning and inspection of the seals too. A real appliance repair person will probably...

New purchase directly from an Interstate distributor and never saw a battery case-top like it...Was going to post a thread asking here - but it matches the text-description by the OP of this thread. Needed a 500CCA 51R. Seems the Interstate web-site has some out-of-date photos (with a typical...

Hey, Thanks for comments. Of course, if the starting gets really bad, will just get best-date. It was Autozone. (No clubs or WMs here.) Last battery-buy (AdvAuto), the best I got was a 4-month old one, so I was surprised to see a couple of March-manufactured (as per the case-code) batteries...

For a change I have a bit time to actually *shop* a for a new battery. Today, at the closest retail, had a few in my size, some Dec some March. Took a (well calibrated) DMM with me. The March were 12.45-12.5V, the Dec about 12.55V (recharged at some point?). I thought I'd be looking above...

Thanks for the comments. Agree it's likely you'd have to quadruple or quintuple the basic-unit price to that range mentioned above, to be more sure of quality. (Rather than just getting an additional feature in the mid-range - like a drawer in addition to doors - but the same materials.) Even...

No retail stores around here. So probably going to be Home Depot delivered. Nothing special bathroom. The cheapest Glacier Bays (which I think were sub-$100 a couple of years back) seem to have better reviews than many of the mid-tier ones, say, double the price. I mean a few of those somewhat...

Appreciate the comments. >Search for part number 80530-SDA-A41 The 80530-SDA-A41 does looks like the "In-car Temperature Sensor" in the service manual diagram. Really was just curious whether there was another sensor - not obvious to me in the diagrams - somewhere near the vents. (Imagined...

Hi, 2005 Acura TSX. Started troubleshooting a warm-blowing air conditioner - the lazy way while still sitting in the car - using the dashboard controls. First the audio/Navi/HVAC display self-diagnosis for climate control, which returned no codes. Then continued with the Climate Control sensor...
