Is that like when somebody posted where to drill your I phone for the "hidden" ear bud plug in?
Nope. Works nearly every time. It's a genuine reflow-correctable solder joint issue, same two places on the PCB. The case is sealed, so a pro repair shop has to saw it open for more extensive rework, then kludge a method of resealing. With the drill method, one just pops-in two rubber plugs.
So far, my OEM one is not faulty, but I've acquired a complete unit from a part-out for when the day comes.
The car is near-as-dammit all aluminium so no rust challenges. Plan is it is to last me for as long as I'm able to drive. Newer Jaguars - even if I could buy one for the $10,600 this one (2005 MY) cost me - look like every other japanese doorstop wedge, and one cannot see as well out of them as the "classical" X350 series.
The Town & Country vans, OTOH, also a 2005 MY at present, I just buy cheap, use up, then send-of to the crusher. I don't want any risk of liability if sold in running order and a rusted brake-line bursts. As they do.
Average amortized cost is mebbe $500 to $1,000 a year, tires, brakes, a battery, & c. included, so they don't "owe" me a dime, several good years each go.
Now y'all buying nice trucks at $35,000 to $75,000 new, or mebbe but a year or so old?
Loudoun County, VA annual Personal Property taxes alone would put me off that even if the vehicle was an outright gift!
