In particular the Muppet that used cheap crimp connectors to attach the electric brakes when they fitted the wheels to our van. Towing up to woomera today the final connector broke away so we had no trailer braking for the last 100km. It's bad enough when they are the only connectors most people can buy in the local equivalent of halfords, but its inexcusable that a manufacturer/dealer should be using such shit on a newly supplied vehicle. Seriously inclined to lodge a formal complaint with whatever form of trading standards exists over here, and the importers
And the real pisser is that I have decent, manufacturing crimps from rs components in the post to me from Perth, but they hadn't arrived at the post office today in time to collect them on our way up here. These are the ones motor manufacturers use that grip the insulation as well as the conductor to support the load and avoid fatiguing the wire, and they are about 20% of the price of the shit ones if you buy them by the 100....should be there when we go back down next week.
