I’ve got another 100,000 to go. I’m hoping to get there unscathed. (y)

Mate if the price is right go for it. It’s easy enough to get someone to run a check on the timing chain. Every vehicle forum is full of doom n gloom and car issues. Some timing chains go at 40k others get 300k plus and still no issues. Maybe add and extra $2500 into your budget (if feasible)...

All depends. Can you afford 50k plus on a new car? If not, 9k is worth it IMO. You also need to take into account how your car is set up with accessories, mods, aftermarket gear etc… as they will be extra costs on any future car.

Mate I go off road heaps. I travel pretty light.. fridge, seat, table, chairs, food boxes and a few other things like firewood, cooking stuff etc.. I’ve had no issues. My bags and a few other things are in rear seats. I take it easy. Never measured it but I’d have to say no more than 150kg at an...

2” Fulcrum lift gave me 63mm. I’ve done cape x 2 and Simpson x 2, all QLD sand islands many times, yeah I got bogged but no a clearance issue, and a million tracks in between. Slow n steady u can go most places. Never has a clearance problem.

Geez I forgot about suggesting that. My brake controller sporadically put my car into limp mode. You couldn’t pick the day or time. Was just random.

Best I’ve got

Welcome mate. 👍

I’ve installed an engine guard sensor to the head at the rear of the motor. My car runs around 83-85 on hot 30 degree plus days. On cooler days, say early to mid 20’s it sits around 77 degrees. Hottest I’ve got was 89 in 4L on prolonged deep sand at Fraser Is. Ive set my alarm at 100. Car is a...

Couldn’t help myself

After rubbish shipping by Aramex Couriers my EVC throttle controller finally arrived. 10 minutes and it’s all installed. I’ve had it set to Ultimate 6 but I find the smart Auto setting pretty good as well. I’ll give it week or so and hopefully settle on a setting. Not sure why I took so long...

You cut the green wire in the fuse box on the drivers side. I installed a switch to make it dumb/smart when I use my 12v fridge.

I’m yet to re-check the fluid level. I’ve got a few days off coming up and I’ll have a look. It drives nice and smooth through the gear changes so I’m hoping all is ok.

It’s a 6 speed manual box. Surely they don’t have a cooler I don’t know about.
