Over the last couple of weeks I've received several calls on our landline (that I no longer answer) from estate agents. Always getting stuff in my letter box saying that houses in my area are in demand, we have someone interested in a house in our street etc. so I suspect the phone calls are replacing the...

While at the dam we noticed several cars drive through every day and recognised those cars in town parked at one of the loc...

Hi Nomads, I have an 82 Coaster SWB (pictured in my avatar). I am considering changing the 3B engine to an ECOTEC V6. Has anyone here done this before? Does anyone know of a company in Victoria that can do this? Thanks, Steve.

My question : is there any precautions for the dogs we need to take other than the having their shots up to date to ensure they stay safe from diseases and ticks and so on. Thanks in advance.

I have had the embarrassment of loud a noise emitting from the water line whenever using mains pressure. Problem turned out to be the plastic fitting that you connect the hose to at the water filling compartment, it has a small spring loaded valve inside that fails and creates the noise. The replacem...
