Through the ages, men have been trying to unlock this mystery: Why do their wives, who accept them just as they are before they get married, begin the quest to change their behaviour and life-style once their vows are exchanged? Finally, the riddle is solved. A social-scientist has arrived at t...

We have a 5 year old waeco that will no longer work on 12 volt. It works very well on 240 but shows a red error light as soon as we switch it over. All the leads are good and 12 volt plug.

I have a DMax ute and recently took it to a panelbeater to see how much it would cost to have a dent taken out of the tailgate. The dent was a "push-in" type, which had not damaged the paint and it didn't have sharp creases in the dent. He told me one of his guys would do it at the workshop for a couple...

Could people tell me what the difference is between the two types in easy understandable language. Secondly what type should I use for Nomad purposes when I get out of town a bit. Thirdly how shou...
