Wish I was going, but If I was heading out that far, I definitely would have a couple of inner tubes as well. I have seen a tyre with a three inch gash in the side wall that was fixed with an inner...

Gobsmacked yet again, by electronics that sat at the bottom of a river for just over two weeks. After a bit of cleaning and a spray with the proper electronics cleaner, and putting in new batteries I...
We've got a local volunteer group that get access to areas affected by Pitto, buckthorn and other pest plants. Mostly retired gents, but they certainly do a bloody good job.
Gotta get the local...
Crazy stuff! A lady was kayaking on the Surrey river and saw a rope floating on the surface. She pulled up the bucket with my keys still in it!
She posted them on Face Ache and my wife's workmate...
Epirb bought and registered. It will be stowed in a waterproof Kayak container with the phone keys and survival gear. This container will be attached to the boat with a short lanyard and easy to...
Are you using GL4, and not GL4+ or GL5? I have found temperature makes a big difference in the way Nissan gearboxes play the game.
Hey, Plassy, mate, I told you about me doing that in confidence. My life insurance premiums just went up %150.
The saga continues: Got the motor running, but exhaust gas was blowing the cooling water out of the inlets. I've stripped the head and side plate off. Have found some parts at Narracourt, just need...
Depends on a few things: Was the vehicle used for towing or harsh terrain, did you absolutely clean the drain plug and nearby sump, do you have clean containers to drain it into.
Is there much metal...
I've seen some of your work on your patrols. Maybe you could build your own injector pop tester. My quick search on google found a few interesting designs using small bottle jack to provide the...
I was very fortunate to have gone to the Surrey River, instead of the Glenelg River. I am certain I wouldn't be here now, as that place is way more is wild and remote. Where I would have gone there...
Got the tinny, my drowned phone, but with the cash and licences still in it, the fuel tank, paddles a few buckets, the car battery was still attached to the boat. Also got my ammo can full of tools...
Thanks, blokes. had to give up trying to refloat the tinny. Bloody glad I always wear my life vest, because having a bad back was nearly the end of me. I couldn't hoist myself up into the reeds so...
Sorry to read about your mate, MB.
Angry at myself, and exhausted, and lucky to be alive. 4th time out in my tinny, and it capsized. Phone, keys, tools and a car battery with a brand new electric...
Second that, Phil. "What's New" isn't always showing stuff as it should.
760k round trip. I'm on it!! Actually went to ring them but they were at lunch. Will try tomorrow.
Refitted the old washer bottle. On closer inspection, I found the exact defect in the bottom plastic casting on both new pumps, not the motor seal I suspected. I bet the whole batch is defective....
Well!! My run of F@#K S%^ttery continues. Bought a brand new after market washer bottle from , Patrolapart, when I was in Melbourne. Went to install it today. I had already siliconed the two rubber...
Just bought an old FG 6 cylinder Falcon and drove it home from the big smoke. Seems mechanically ok, but noticed a few more interior and body quirks. In the middle of merging onto the highway the...
The quick coupler is a good investment. Wish there was a slim model for getting into the unijoints and such. I found I had to undo the front drive shaft to get to the grease nipples!
With the sub-standard crap that comes with every second purchase, whether it be the wrong part, defective part, or just built wrongly, how does society still function?
Same as post #7 of this one year old thread :)
Welcome to the forum, Unless PeeBee scared you off:)
Bugger! In my mind I thought you had a 4.5 or 4.8. But I think I got confused with Bob's rig.
Had a quick catch up with Plasnart this arvo. Talked a bit about the Swan Lake sand dunes and camping area among other things. Gotta get you lot down here for a weekend.
