G'day gents (and ladies)

Any advice on camping spots along the river near or nearabouts to Murray Bridge?

I'm in the area for Australia day and want to spend a night or two under the stars.
...

I've forgotten about and driven over that "wheel chock" (in a different car)

Didn't realise until a few days later, and didn't feel driving all the way back to get it was value for money.
...

Cheers guys, much appreciated

(Pretty much nailed it with my guess)

Cheers mate :)

I can fairly guess, most car tool rolls come with wheel nut remover, jack handle, 10, 12, 14, 17mm wrenches, spark plug tool, and a screwdriver (the ones that you can flip the driver in the handle...

Good evening, I am interested to know what the original tool roll had for a GQ Patrol.
Does anyone have a photo, or a listing of the complete inventory?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I'm just trying to work out what the differences are, I know they are there - inner composition, strength of reinforcement, out composition etc.

So apparently fuel line (commonly?) has...

I might stick to Vaseline, I'm sure there's some somewhere.


I've kicked around manufacturers pages, while nothing explicitly states I can use fuel line as coolant hose, it doesn't say not to (it...

Maybe just a short term solution.

On what grounds?

Getting the "correct" hose is no drama. I am just curious what the difference is, I can't seem to find a straight answer.

I've heard of...

63411

Did that work?

Anyway, that's the fuel hose I've jammed on to for now (not that it does much at the moment, most of my brand new coolant is all over the ground), it goes from below the...

Yeah, that's what I said :D

Anyway, it's 3/8 hose. I happen to have some 3/8 fuel line kicking around. Does anyone have a good reason why I can't replace it with that, and be on my merry way? (I...

Went for a test drive....blew a coolant hose....



:smile:

I really don't feel like doing a wheel bearing. I think I'd rather not know :P

Doh,,,, welcome to the club, now to mount the
Merit somewhere where it cant get knocked .

Right above the fridge, so I can snap the plug when I open the door incautiously.

Ah well, it's done now, and I've scraped as much crud as I can. Hopefully it'll be easier next time.

Now I'm off to find Mudnuts thread that tells me where the drain is for the coolant....

I...

Why do you need replacement plugs??!! Old plugs are ok unless you've damaged them.

One does not simply removed glued in oil plugs....:rolleyes:

Give any cig sockets the flick they do fail and not the best going.
use either twistlock Engel/Baintech style, even 50 amp anderson will
do the trick. Make sure your wire is adequate to carry the...

Lithium grease is preferred 'cos of the white colour as well as lithium in it. But, I reckon regular grease can do the job as well.
Don't bother to pull the carby out if you've already put it back...

Unfortunately I can't get things delivered, as I'm not in any particular place, as it were.

I'd like to go there, but I am not sure if my route takes me through lilydale (lovely place, good pool...

Hey Dom, thanks for the tips. I got a lot out of some of your other threads.

I am a bit short of lithium grease at the moment , (should be coming today) but the carby is already back on. I'm not...

1 vote for leave the gaskets - Good enough for me!

Back together she goes!

I find the LMF a bit clunky for my delicate paws, perhaps the Strong arm would suit me well.

I'll have to look into it. I wonder if anywhere does christmas sales on these.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking, once I get the steering back together, I'll head to the shop and get a bit of hose and clamps.

Update: Well the Carby is off (funny, they always say never work under a car only supported by a jack, but they never say never work under a bonnet supported only by rickety metal stick).

It looks...

Hey Mudnut, your thread was one of the first I read. I almost stole your pics to explain the situation.

A few people have mentioned the carby heat grid, so I guess i'll check it out and see what...
