In one of the earlier posts someone was mentioning difficulties in undoing wheel nuts because they were too tight. If you have a look in your maintenance handbook, it should give you the torque tension for your wheel nuts, i.e. Nissan Navara D40 - 83ft/lb. We deal with a Tyrepower dealer who torques m...

We have a coleman porta potti for sale if anyone wants it. It has never been used and is in Perth at the moment. About $75 would be a good price i think.

Hi everyone, just watching the local news and a report said that 20 campers were hit by THIEVES last night. It would seem that not only country music lovers go to Tamworth in January so the advice from police is LOCK IT UP OR LOSE IT. Even if you lock stuff up you still need to hide it so the scum are not tempte...
