Can anyone tell me how to changeout the battery in my Breaksafe 6000 system. I am assuming that it is the internal battery that is shot as no matter how long I leave it in charge, the the test light stays on red when pressed. Additionally there is a slight buzzing sound coming from the box.

This issue is explained in the user manual. That is the adjusting control (remote head) is installed where the plastic is too thick. I've done a video (click link below) that shows the problem. An easy fix is to put a bit of something (cardboard) in the knob to raise it up on the spindle. Cheers Tony. [vi...

Additionally, I noticed a slight pull to the right at 100kph a few months back and stupidly ignored it. The massive bang accompanied with a steering difficulty (nothing dan...

The Pro trim level is the entry-point to the T60 model range and unlike more expensive Luxe versions, i...

This is all that holds the roof J bracket on, 2 screws that barely make it through the actual roof extrusion. But they use two per bracket, so that works

Following the discussion on use of Napisan type products, I thought this may be a good complementary subject. I know many drop the used toilet paper in a bin to be later packaged and disposed of. I suppose putting it out with the garbage is a lesser undesirable than disposable nappies. But I have never b...

Just read in this morning's paper that the new Isuzu utes are "....hot at the moment" and that "....top models have been pushed out to an April delivery."
