Just went to fit a new Swap&go 9KG gas bottle and found it was different to what I've seen before. The thread is pretty much the same as normal POL thread but not quite the same as the regulator needs more force to screw in plus it only goes about 3 turns before it gets really stiff. There is also a type...

Before purchasing my Malibu caravan in February I searched the web for any information regarding this manufacturer. But found very little at all.

Any help here would be much appreciated. On my 2010 Mazda BT 50 dual cab ute, the small square black button located to the side of the L and R rocker switch for the mirrors, has become stuck in the locked position, thus not allowing me to reposition one or both mirrors. I've removed the button and given the...

I'd better apologise for starting this topic already as I know everyone will have their own opinion. (differing) I'm looking to buy a van in a year or so.
