Hi Guys. I have a 2014 Isuzu DMax SX diesel auto with 76K on the clock. The van we tow weighs in loaded at about 2800kg and with us and the bits in the ute, we come in under spec weight. Tow ball weight varies, but around 120-130kg. We have probably done about 30K towing the van. I get it serviced according...

I read with interest the recent topic and comments in remapping, i have no idea what this ia or what it involves, but what got my attention was that it also "tweaks" gear changes. The important thing seems to be to go to someone who really knows what they are doing. So the question, does anyone know of som...

Greetings to all. My first time on the forum, I start with a question and also look forward to any useful input which I can give. i have a 2015 Jayco Silverline, 21.63 layout. I need to get behind the fridge so I can re wire all the stereo, TV etc put new cables in as the set up that Jayco had was not that good. I n...

Hello all, I'm brand new to the forum. Hubby is retiring in a couple of months and we are going to be taking off on our big adventure. Currently talking about a 12 month trip, although I wouldn't be surprised if we don't last that long. We haven't even purchased the van yet. Still doing our research....

Two female teachers took a group of students from grades 1, 2 and 3 for a field trip to Flemington Racecourse. When it was time to take the children to the 'bathroom', it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting...

So far I've had 3 radiation treatments at ROC. That's the name of the clinic here in Hervey Bay. So far so good. I felt a bit nauseous yesterday arvo so took a pill and a lie down.
