At work some cheese cakes.

Tiida Air Filter Box

The air filter box has vanished from the Tiida

On line. New. Malaysia RM80 which is about $AU25

I suspect "Free shipping" is only within Malaysia so add say $10 freight to Australia.

Tiida Spark Plugs and Oil

Finally got the spark plugs and oil changed.

The saga began weeks ago when I got sick of it losing power and "missing" when one accelerated. Esp if one was in the wrong gear and the revs were a bit slow. 

After watching a few YouTube videos and establishing that to change the plugs one must dismantle half the engine,  I set about gathering stuff. Figured I'd need everything at hand as once I start,  no going and getting anything. 

The other thing was I Figured that it could be a Coil pack. They had been the source of grief on the Ute.  $160 had bought a pack of 6 for the Ute so imagine my horror when I discovered genuine Nissan Coil packs were $200 each.  I ended up buying one non genuine one. My logic was that if it was a Coil pack then hopefully only one faulty one. 

Oil and oil filter from Autobarn.  None of Autobarn, supercheap or Repco had Coil packs. Autobarn kindly directed me to A1 Auto parts at Waycol. They had Coil packs and spark plugs.

Porridge.

It's not really cold enough but we are in luck down so compromises are required.

AZ Vaccine #2

 Today had jab #2
7:30am
Lets see if we get a reaction.  Jab #1 reaction was almost 12hrs to the minute later.  resulted in a mild headache, unable to think straight.  Like a mild case of the flu.

Hi Frank, Thank you for visiting for your COVID-19 Vaccination. Even after receiving the vaccine, you must still follow public health precautions as required in your state or territory to stop the spread of COVID-19 including: - Keep your distance – stay at least 1.5 metres away from other people - Washing your hands often with soap and water, or use hand sanitiser - Wear a mask, if your state or territory has advised you should - Stay home if you are unwell with cold or flu-like symptoms and arrange to get a COVID-19 test. As with any vaccine, some people may experience side effects such as a sore arm, headache or fever. These side effects are usually mild and don’t last for long, but please tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effects that worry you. You may refer to the COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effect Checker for more information: https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/covid-19-vaccine-side-effect-checker You can also directly report suspected side effects to NPS Medicinewise on 1300 134 237 or to TGA via this link: https://aems.tga.gov.au/ Best regards www.hotdoc.com.au
