Some will be aware there is a blitz on 4WDs in south east Queensland. While I don't have an issue with having poorly modified 4WDs off the road I am puzzled as to who makes up some of the rules and what their reasons are. For example apparently you cannot have your lightbar or driving lights on...

Tony I would like to setup solar on the roof of my son's Adventra to keep the starter battery topped up as it really doesn't lend itself to a dual battery setup and he now has a 40l fridge in the back. I note you have setup a small panel (I want to put a 250w up top) to keep your starter topped...

Recently purchased a 2nd hand Jayco Westport pop top caravan (not an off road one) ATM 1840kgs. This is the first time I have owned a trailer/caravan with dual axles and while I have been towing stuff for decades they have all been single axle or have only been towed a short distance. So...

Had a flat battery this morning, no biggie 2nd battery is there and jumper leads to hand. Not happy with the shorter than expected life from the optima yellow top though. Got me thinking as to whether a hard wired switch would be a better option in these cases. I have a single starter and the...

Is anyone able to recommend a good place to have my injectors checked out on the gold coast? Preferably southern end tweed area. Have done the purge but they are still noisy and would like to be reassured nothing sinister is going on. I may be wrong but it sounds like i have one that is...

Have noticed a few posts lately about injectors being replaced or planned to be replaced. I have a ticking noise that has been suggested might be the injectors. 155k on the engine. Ute runs fine and no/minimal smoke. Timing chain and fan belts have been done. Sounds almost like an exhaust leak...

Anyone have these drawers? If so what do think of them. As i have the aux fuel tank in the back i am restricted to the 1 metre long ones. Building a set is not an option for me. Thanks

I was going to buy one of these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Solar-Panel-12V-200W-Monocrystalline-Module-Caravan-Boat-Camping-Off-Grid-Use-/261430649476?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:1123 and set it up on the shed. Basically I want to setup the shed for 12 volt and be able to run all the things you...

Currently have 2 batteries under the bonnet with a ctek 250s to look after the 2nd battery. I was going to add a 3rd battery behind the rear seat in the same manner as happy john has done. Question is what do i need equipment wise to charge it? Another ctek? Where would it get its power from...

Compressor seems to run fine it just isn't cooling. Anyone know of a good place to take it to on the southern end of the gold coast?

My sister sells first aid kits and is offering a 10% discount to forum members. Personally I think the kits are great value. Contact email for Wendy is [email protected] I have 2 of the 4wd ones (1 in-house, 1 for the nav) and they seem very comprehensive. I can pull mine apart for extra...

Well at least I think that is what Paul called it. When I was in having the timing chain done a few weeks back Paul mentioned the mod. He said it is better than the egr blank and allowed the engine to breathe better. He did talk about some of the technical aspects but it was late on a friday and...

Removed the pulley on the weekend as i thought the bearing was noisy. When putting it back on i seemed to be missing a washer/spacer that goes between the bearing and the dust cover at the back. The thick spacer is there so the dust cover stands off the bracket on the engine. From the engine...
