Hi, Does anybody know why if oils don't have a use by date why do Mazda say that you have to change the oil every twelve months ( BT50) regardless of Klm's or it will void the warranty. I said at this rate you will be doing the 80,000 Klm service when the car hasn't done 40,000 Klm .Their answer ... Yes that's...

Gday... I decided I would put this in here rather than Techie's Corner as it may get more exposure to forum members/visitors. It seems to be fairly expansive advice/information and I would think it helpful. Of course, there may be expert advice forthcoming from informed members that may complement...

Another thread prompted this. I was thinking as a young fella growing up in the Bush, how many different fuel brands that were there. In my town we had BP, Shell, Caltex, Neptune, Ampol, Amaco, Mobil, Golden Fleece and an old mechanics workshop still had Texaco signs from days gone by. What did your tow...

Had a weird problem with our Mazda BT-50 a few weeks ago, involving a persistent 'check engine' light on the dashboard. Mazda in Port Augusta eventually washed their hands of it and told us to take the ute back to Viv Coe, who'd already 'done more than we would have'. Viv Coe worked long and hard on the ute...

An oldie but worth repeating.... A German lorry driver in a pub in Newcastle is loud mouthing how lazy British Truck drivers are. He's bragging that he drives his load from Hamburg, goes through Holland, then Belgium and up to Newcastle and back to Hamburg in just 2 days. This old timer Geordie lis...

We should rename this site..Bluemoons Hobby corner...ha ha ..sorry about the frequency of my posts.

Due to a new interest we now often find ourselves in areas that do not see traffic very often, this may be driving to a remote location, or on foot in the bush. I have recently been considering what either of us would do in the case of an accident, or medical emergency, or if we just plain got lost. This start...

Was great to be on the open road, was a bit nervous starting out again, even forgot how to fill the water tanks for a moment, but butterflies flew away after a few Ks.,., Its great to be here with Shekon, she is showing me the ropes, before I take off on my own up the middle, well at least in that direction. Th...

Yes great to see so many Grey Nomad on the forum tonight. This site is worth it weight in Gold. We have learned a huge amount of info from the G.N forum. I dare say that perhaps I may have been able to help others as well. Thanks to everyone. Jay&Dee

They keep telling me it shows up as a malfunction, they reset but are saying their computers wont say what's causing th...

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of hisfather as to when they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son, "You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little and get your haircut. Then we'll talk about the car."...

As my username indicates I am a kiwi. My wife and partner, Trish, is from Fremantle, WA. For the past 13 years our grey nomadic life has been aboard our 12m Roberts Spray Ketch, Auspray. We have sailed up and down the Queensland coast, across the top of Australia to Broome, WA, through Indonesia and over...
