Bought a Garmin 1450 a few months ago on special with free map updates. Not a patch on the old Tom Tom, maps are poor or non existent and it's now taken to rebooting randomly, a process that takes a number of minutes. Guess it's the old story, you get what you pay for, back to the Tom Tom for me. -- Edited by Sa...

I am hoping someone with a 100 series petrol can help me. The problem I have is that whilst driving with the drivers window open even the slightest bit I am getting a burning oil smell coming in through the vents. This has only started recently. I have spent time climbing around underneath vehicle check...

Hi all, Due to heavy demand for our exciting free bumper stickers, our supply has finally been depleted. We’re now in the process of getting more stickers printed and hope to get them soon. We may have to introduce a small charge to cover postage and expenses – however, for anyone who has already requ...

Hi, Was on here sometime back dreaming of buying a campervan. Well have just done it! Yah Hoo!

I visited Josephine Falls and the Golden Hole between Innisfail and Babinda and what beautiful places they are and not far from the beaten track, the walk to the falls is 700mtrs and the car park is adjacent to the Golden Hole. Really places where sharing is better than going alone. No camping there in t...

Heres a tip for all you people with Landcruisers, My 100 series was over heating when I was towing, unfortunately before I had found the core reason for the problem I also blew a head gasket.
