Me again!!!! Sorry for being a serial pest but have a couple of days off and am trying to plan this trip. If we hire a vehicle that is not a 4WD can we travel from Darwin on the Arnhem Highway and then back on the Kakadu Highway through to Litchfield or isn't the latter a sealed road. Any suggestions of mus...

There is a largish, about 75mm rubber seal on the engine side of the firewall on the driver side basically in the corner next to the right hand side with wires going through into the cabin, well, it hadn't been put back in place properly when all the w...

Why is it that after clicking on the 6th or more topic, when I click back I return to the first topic. On other forums if I am reading the 8th. topic I would be directed back to the 7th. topic not the first. Do I have a wrong setting somewhere or am I doing something wrong?
