$100 and a carton of beer and Ill do a dd a soon as you give me your account details and I will pick it up on 23 september when I come back from fraser.....................if I dont get up there earlier.

Thanks anyway Nomad, but at that price, I'll start using it again as it can sit on the floor of the caravan when travelling.
If it doesn't sell by the end of the month, I'll pull the ad and just keep it.

I'll let it go @ $400 until Monday night.

I am aware of the ACCC powers and have had first hand involvement with product recalls.

Fine but none of you in Govt have red undies and capes and as the problem is global and beyond the powers of any one Govt to demand an instant solution for their citizens, we have a problem on our hands that needs sensible risk management.

Among my family's cars I note the son's MN Triton is on the recall list but being only 2.5yr old and with Adelaide's drier climate I'm happy for him to wait with what I suspect could be a year or two before it might be replaced. Not so his wife with a 2008 X-Trail carting their new bub around so I propose to speak to her about removing the steering wheel airbag and storing it until such time as it can be replaced. No-one has any idea when it will be replaced given the huge backlog globally and for me it's a no-brainer that she can't continue to drive around in a car with a protective airbag that can kill or seriously maim her. Much better to take her chances with the benefit of 2008 ANCAP crash ratings, collapsible steering wheel and a seat belt that my generation went without.

If you have any better risk management solution than that rags then I'm all ears but I put it to you that's the position our Govt is going to have to take very quickly before someone else is killed or maimed.

Edit: Actually I'll just be removing the air bag inflator-  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_hkGN8TiJY

Momentum momentum momentum hit that water crossing and just skip right along the surface ..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrXVdkycF80   .. Yikes ..
In all seriousness he either hit the go pedal instead of the brake or he had cruise control  / throttle failure ..
 Are those things fly by wire electronic throttles or do they still have the good old cable connection to the throttle / accelerator pedal ?

They can recall all they like rags but with the world's largest supplier of airbags out of action and millions of cars waiting for replacements what would you suggest our Gummint do to protect us all? Perhaps they could fine Takata another US $1billion or the car companies? Would that help matters?
