What did you buy today

[10G]

They are the OEM looms that are used for the bumper lights on the GQ mate. They often get cooked by the exhaust on one side and ripped out on the other. Lol.

Oh, OK. I have a mate who got his GU about 2-3 months before I got mine. His has brake lights where there should be brake lights. Looks good from the rear.

[10G]

Got some 12mm MDF for the top shelf of my rear cargo storage system. The thing is almost complete.
Fridge, slide, 3 shelves, compartments. Made out of 13mm RHS, gal sheet, sweat & blood.

I think Patrolapart sell that loom to make the rear lens work,
Some have done indicators and brakes , being a series 3 I went for
reverse lights and brakes using LED globes, love the effect,lol

In the body itself? Or are you talking about the bumper lights? The body lights don't work from factory, they are dummy lights. You can buy aftermarket GU lights which have the bulb holder in the lights. All you need to do is wire them in. Piss easy.

No you dont need it Nic. You have everything already plumbed in. Just swap out the IC and your done.
Just be aware of the MAP sensor port in the front of the IC. The small tapered section where the Oring from the MAP sensor seat may not be deep enough. IT wasn't when I got a similar cooler for my ZD and I nearly broke the MAP sensor when trying to bolt it down as it wasn't sitting flush. SO i had to give the tapered section a quick zip with the drill to make it that little deeper, gave it a coat of silicone and screwed the MAP sensor down no worries.

They're actually rated and tested to 60psi plus. When I rang up about my suspicious "leak", which in the end is just induction noise... He told me they are tested at 60+ for a certain time.

Bought a Carter 4600HP electric pump, should be able to install it this weekend to see if it makes much difference with my old worn out mechanical pump.

Run it via relay mate so that it only comes on when you get oil pressure. So then you can still have the ignition on, no motor running, and the pump wont operate. If your motor has the switch and not the sender unit that is. Not sure how to wire it up using the sender. Also run a fuel line by pass too so if the pump dies the pump can still suck the fuel through.

[Winnie]

I believe with this Carter pump that fuel can flow freely even if the pump has failed.
I will just wire it to ignition, I can't think of a time I have had the car switched to ignition without the engine running anyway.

Is it to late for you to swap to a 4601hp?

Wiring to ignition is fine. Makes services easy for priming the fuel filter prior to starting.

[Winnie]

Damn, yeah it is.
From what I can tell the only difference between the 4600hp and the 4601hp is the pump pressure?

[mudski]

Yes it can but being a rotary vane pump there still is a chance of the vanes blocking the fuel path if the pump stops. Also if the pump fails there might be a small loss in top end rev power due to the extra route the fuel needs to take. The by pass was easy to do though...

you can get a double ender for $130 now thats value.

I have the same suspension set up as you, my springs are King but will be similar.
It works very well and I did fit the caster bushes but not for long as they didn't last. There is not much rubber on one side so given a bit of use they failed.
Use stock ones now and the car drives/steers well without any wheel wobble etc. tyre wear is good too.
If you are not on heavily corrugated roads or need a lot of flex it probably doesn't matter.
For a 2" lift it is borderline that the correction bushes need to be used, just my experience.
You will enjoy the improved suspension one it is fitted.
Also I had to fit an adjustable steering rod to centre the steering wheel, Mr Nissan fitted a non-adjustable one in my car.... WTF?

If the fridge was at fault in the second damaged fridge, why is the cable fried as far back as it is? You would have thought that there would be more damage on the compressor end where all the electrical doohickeys are.

No idea why there is no recall Clunky. The fridge is only NEW in the grand scheme of things. But call them up and ask why they don't sell them any more or why it's been completely removed from their website/shop.
It's not just because somebody wired their shit wrong.

As for similarity to Waeco, ust because they came out of same factory doesn't make it the same product. They may have used the same mould/plastics, look similar etc...
Their awnings come from the same place as TJM and ARB, are they the same? Their canvas might as well be baking paper. Thats how good it is.
Too many people jump on the "But it's from the same factory...." bandwagon too.

But let's forget that any of them caught fire for a moment....
Believe me the fridge is shit compared to a Waeco. And yes I am jumping on the SHIT bandwagon on this fridge because I have seen and touched one in person.
The overall feel of the unit is cheap. You plug the cable at the back and the whole assembly bends inwards and the plastics surrounding the electrical parts seem like they will crumble at the next speed hump....

Just my observation.

[threedogs]

From my limited knowledge on Waeco fridges the Wiring as Clunk says needs to be the correct size,,etc
When ever someone says the red light is on and my fridge isnt working, bet your bottom dollar its a Waeco.
Ive been on many trips with a guy called Trevor the Waeco rep he was on board to answer any wiring related probs.

Don't count on this if you have a install agenda in mind. Mate ordered and paid for his mid october for early November delivery and he's still getting the "delayed" emails.
Eric. If you don't mind could you let me know when your mate gets his draws. Suppose if I add the time difference I'll have a true ETA.

[jay see]

Was not to be.

Standard length ones were ordered, needed short travel ones. Hopefully a job for Thursday with any luck.
Finally got them. Hopefully fit them on the weekend.

[mudski]

Id be making up some brackets like i did on my drawers so it doesnt flex when the fridge is full and out on the slide.

No worries mate.
I've let him know. When he knows, I'll know, then you'll know ...

Cheers mate.

I called them today and they have an order coming on the 12th of December.

[jack]

If that's the case then Hodge, why is the news not more widespread, why is there no recall etc etc. Too many people jump on the cheap shit band wagon.

look at the CF60 in this, look familiar

If the fridge was at fault in the second damaged fridge, why is the cable fried as far back as it is? You would have thought that there would be more damage on the compressor end where all the electrical doohickeys are.

I'd be more inclined to blame dodgy wiring/ installation and incorrect fuse type and size being used

I bought some from Repco maybe.... 2 months ago for $54 from memory. But $40 is ridiculous...I'll go in today and grab some!

Unlikely. That's still dearer than trade. There sales are good for what you should actually be paying all the time there normal prices are just stupid high.

They are really a wholesaler though who make the most on cash sales.
They have to protect the margin for the tradesmen.

Even so the only time you should pay more than $100 for 20L at retail is when you are looking at 100% synthetic oils.

Nice Nic. Has it got a radio or something? I see an aerial. As much I as I'd love to get a road bike myself. I just would trust myself on one. Back in my dirt bike years I had so many trees jump out in front of me I had to give it up. Lol.

Yeah mate all the bells and whistles it has a radio heated hand grips and an electronic adjustable windscreen. It's a sports tourer though so it's big just not gigantic. Very very comfortable. I'm Also hoping to avoid those jumping trees lol

Oh god! But yeah that would be good. We're going up the coast to Merimbula on the 5th for two weeks. Come up for a visit. Its only about 6 or so hours. That will test your saddle bum out.

Gave up riding shortly after my first born, you may be the best rider on the planet
but it only takes one idiot to shoot a red light and the thought of seeing your kids grow up
goes out the window real quick

Probably good for countries like Tasmania where the sun don't shine for solar panels :-)

Yeah pretty cool. There was a guy a few years back making, i believe, a larger version of that. Which would charge your battery bank say in your camper or 4wd. They even had a video of it running. Wasnt cheap though but the charge rate was quite good from memory.
Id love to have a small wind powered gennie. As every year we go away to Merimbula, it seems to be quite winding where we camp, and being on a shaded campsite i am chasing the sun everyday.

For sure, a lot of the houseboats up on Eildon have wind genies so the idea must be working well I'd say.
