Ford Fiesta "new car/plastic" smell - Health risk?

virus3678 — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:02:39 +0800

Hi all.

I drive a Ford fiesta S hatchback (2010) which has this "new car" smell ever since I first purchased it in 2010.

The smell won't seem to go away. Took it to the dealership twice couple years back (while still under warranty) and the guy told me they checked everything and all seems to be in order.

Was used to the smell after that and did not worry about it until last week when my relatives sat in my car and complaint the about the smell. Some was curious why it still had this new car smell and some said it smelled like burnt plastic.

Just want to know if anyone has the same problem or know why? More importantly, is it damaging to health?

Thanks!

P.s
No Ambi Pur/perfume used in car.

Hi.
I've been using an audio technica ATH-PRO5 MS headphones for a year plus and the ear pads are starting to peel off. I'm wondering where I should bring it for repair. Inter Asia? also how much would it normally cost?
TQ.

study at UK cheaper than Australia?

I always thought going Australia to do my second year Bachelor of Business is cheaper than going to UK. but just found out today the cost of studying at UK is actually not that much different from Australia. (tuition fee+cost of living etc.). Some places in UK is even cheaper than Australia. is this really true? Say University of Queensland (RM150per year?) and some other uni at UK (RM100k per year?).

MacBook Bootcamp cannot connect to mcdonalds wifi

virus3678 — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 16:35:09 +0800

I was at mcdonalds connecting to wifi with my macbook (Mac OSX). they directed my web page to their mcdonalds login site for registering and after registering, i was given access to the internet.

later i switch to bootcamp. i tried connecting to the same mcdonalds wifi using Windows 7 instead. the same starting page where they ask you to agree to their terms and condition/login page came out. i tick 'agree' and click 'login' but the "connection timed out" page keeps coming out after i click login.

i switch back to mac and i can use the internet again. switch to windows and the same problem appears (macdonalds login page -> connection timed out).

anyone has any idea why my bootcamp windows cannot connect to mcdonalds wifi but my mac can??

TQ.
