Hi .. Picked this up on a Patrol Forum. For me, it is of interest only as I have a petrol engine. It was suggested earlier on the thread, that in the older engines (non CRD) where petrol had inadvertently been put into the tank, after draining etc, a dose of 2 stroke was a good precaution. Do any of you 'oile...

Hi all, Chris here, I have been blogging using Wordpress since March 2015. I have backdated my blog back to approx 17th June 2011 when Dianne and I took delivery of an Evergreen Ultima 5th Wheeler, 3 days after my 50th birthday.

Hi Folk, My wife and I went to the recent Brisbane caravan show with the aim to look at caravans in the 20 ft category.

The Spoon A lesson on how consultants can make a difference in an organization. Very impressive! Last week, we took some friends to a new restaurant, 'Steve's Place,' and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange.

Im after suggestions for the best camp chair. I have a had quick look at the Oztent Hotspot chairs and they look pretty comfortable and well made.
