We are heading to Ipswich to do Grandparent duties for the next 3 weeks and are looking for a good caravan service place in the Ipswich area. We are looking at getting the van wheels serviced as well as the electric brakes. If anyone can give a good recommendation it would be appreciated. Thanks Geoff

Now we have Toyota Australia doing a recall of 171,000 vehicle covering almost its entire range (other than the L/Cruisers) for faulty air bags that may not work in an accident after 5 people died in the USA when the air bags should have deployed. What the hell is going on with new vehicles. Are they now...
