Bollox

So i got The power Steering recall sorted very happy how that went and i also bought a new set of Rubber from gm 225/45/18s for my cobalt ss rims,
Then a gave it a good clean on the inside and decided to treat her to a rain scented freshener.
The next day i went to my to my HHr and the fluid in the freshener had leaked out and took the paint off the waterfall and leaked into my dvd headunit.
It melted the bezel arround it melted the volume buttons and the touch screen stopped working. Bollox
Just Venting
Good news though I installed a new head unit it is a android based system called asteroid smart and i must say its freaking awesome

Well, I'm glad you could swing an "upgrade" out of it. I would be quite pissed if this were me... Making lemonade from the lemons you are given, I think they say.

I was Mad... MAD was a understatement, My ten year old nephew was in my war I think he messed with the thing that caused it to leak, I cant blame him he is 10, but really a fluid filled device for making nice smelly air should not melt plastic...but hey Ive resolved it now, lesson learned.

Bloody heck Mate!

If you've got a lawn to mow, I think I'd have him doing your yardwork until he heads off to University.

Sorry to hear about the disaster, but your new head unit sounds cool. Be sure to post up some photos of it when you can.

Now that is cool!

I like the Union Flag background on the display.

I think I got that right, it's the Union Jack when flown from a ship, and a Union Flag when flown on land right?

I'd tally the replacement costs and contact the air freshener company, they should compensate you for this disaster, Joe.
