However I notice in my Hi Ace manual they have a picture and tell you to pull up on the wheel brace to loosen or tighten the n...

It's been said before, and I'm going to say it again, "Please USE your rear view mirrors, especially when towing caravans". I'll accept cameras as a rear view tool. That means, actually look into them to see what's around and behind you. I talk to many truck drivers and their biggest compla...

So glad I did. $15.00 for a 4kg size, Can't remember the next size up but think it might have said $25.00 for a 9kg. The reason I am putting this in recommendations is, the chap was more than helpful. He came out to...

Just finished watching ACA and there was a follow-up on the story last week about the couple who could not get their tennants out of their home when they came back from their trip. Apparently after ACA got involved, within 4 days the tennants were packing up and moving out - final inspection tomorrow. A...
