Why do you need to carry fuel to the Cape
STD you have a range of about 900 Ks which IMO
is more than enough for the Cape . Its not that far between stops these days.
Thats a lot of weight up...

My colleague had smaller 10 litre ones, and they were fully upright in the timber box.

Hey Jock
I'm going to assume the containers are fuel spec. Diesel fuel has a flash point above 60.5oC so should be ok, it requires an ignition source to ignite (normally), so remember to limit...

Hi Jock,

At the risk of asking a stupid question, why not just leave the relay outside of the factory relay box? I know it will be neater etc, but an after market relay hanging off one of the...

a wise choice indeed my friend and as you say the only hard bit for me was getting the heat shield off but after that was a piece of piss, and to answer your question on how much Jock, mine was about...

well finally had the time to fit the exhaust today, bit of pain everything came off nice except for the dump pipe that got a bit hard 1 stud broke but still had enough thread on it to get a nut on....

FOR THOSE THAT MIGHT HAVE MISSED THIS LITTLE SNIPPED

It is actually worst for an engine to be warmed by idleing it. From start up just get going at a normal driving pace and the engine will last for years. It actually states it the manual to NOT warm...

We have the 59L and love it works well. We did a two week trip and had all our meat and never had an issue, come home with a 1.5 kg roast and was still frozen solid.

One of our best investments

Not a stupid question at all. As I mentioned in the thread earlier there are always alternative views and at the risk of getting off topic even more...

It is easy to forget that the battery is...

I made a big mistake when i went the cheap road on fitting out the GU. Im retired.
I got a roof top tent that leaks and is un sewn on the corners. I had to hand sew it. Water stains inside it.

Being a diesel fitter I am yet to be sold on adding gas to a diesel fuel system. The gains can be good yes, but like a gas pwered petrol car it has its downfalls. To get the best out of it head work...

Hiya Jeff,

I don't have the big Engel but usually travel with 2 Engel 40's if we are away for more than a few days.

Don't run the fridge off an Inverter, the extra power losses aren't worth it...

You can safely fit a Dawes to a CRD to take boost control away from the ECU. The 2007 CRD ECU (first of the CRDs) can occasionally struggle to control boost if you add an exhaust, lots of them...

Hey Jock if you like the low profile design have a look at these, i am planning on picking one up in the next couple of months.

Id spend a little extra and get a Pure Sine Wave Inverter for peace of mind, it will cost a little more, but you don't have to worry about stuff not working or damaging anything, first Inverter i...

I'm thinking an inverter would be really handy, I would like to use it to charge things like handhelds, iPod dock (rechargeable), recharge batteries for ryobi stuff (rattle gun, drill, camp light). ...

all sorted, get a new alternator, apparently there was an earthing problem which caused a spike which in turn burnt out the alternator.

Ghee?? I reckon i have had it for 6 or 7 years for sure? Its a winner mate, mine is just the jump pack without the compressor but i have the compressor sorted so the jump pack is what i wanted.
...

Just wondering peoples thoughts on those jumpstarter packs.

-how many starts can you get out of them?
-how long do they last from a full charge up (if unused)
-Ive heard they can stuff up if...

Na but I just fitted a set of matching Racetech EGT & Boost guages off good ol' Ebay, I'll attach a couple of pics if I can

2nd is with power on & normal running
1st is...

I appreciate the positive feedback everyone but I am closing this thread as I don't want to go down this path.

Let's just hope that they sort the problem out as I'm sure there are some good minded...

Hi Guys,
This thread has been going for some time now. So thought I'd put a little input of my own. As one of the previous posters quoted, if the deep cycle is being used to start, they certainly...
