Hi Guys; This may be a little out there, but since purchasing my 4X4 i have found that tyre pressure is critical to its handling. 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...

Interesting the LDV eT60 @ $93,000 is a fit for a tradie or grey nomad ?The eT60 is based on a regular T60 Max Pro, which costs $43,148 for private buyers when paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The Pro trim level is the entry-point to the T60 model range and unlike more expensive Luxe versions, i...

As the system/network should be good enough to give us a great signal at all times. I have just added a Cel Fi Go signal booster to the aluminium tent.

I'm well and truley over using Nappisan in our cassette, it's useless and does next to nothing. So after seeing a facebook post about using dishwasher tablets to clean a home toilet work(maybe?).

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...

Having a bit of trouble tunning the ditigal TV. I wind up the wind guard, turn the tv on, go to menu then click on auto tuning but no hits. Others in the park appear to have their tvs working.

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."

Hopefully I will get a quick answer, as Im on the road tomorrow I have a 165 litre compressor fridge, and the specifications state 12 volt consumption 80/24 hours approximately. Does this mean that when in use it should use around 80 amp per 24 hours? I have 3 x 120 amp AGM batteries, not sure of age as th...
