Far out! Are they really still going? ‘Lady in Black’ is one of my teen anthems. She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning, her long hair flowing in the mid winter wind’ off the album ‘Salisbury’. Saw them play at my local college in the early 70’s.Quote:

Bought a new thermostat. The rig has been running randomly hot whilst towing and doing hill climbs
Did you buy an OE thermostat [Nissan]Quote:

A slimline2 (wind cheater) roof rack and a Fiskars X27 block splitter, not sure which one I'm more excited about. Need an awning now, not sure wether to get a G-Camp or an Open Sky (2.5 x 3.0m).
Got a top radiator bottle after the hose fitting on mine snapped off.
Bought a Hema HN7, second hand for half price, only 3 months old and only used a few times, never been registered and or updated.
Everything works as it should and updated the maps and registered it, pretty happy with it and so far working a treat.
Wow, what a bargain.Quote:

Good find.
Tekonsha P3 Brake controller for hooking up the CT on possibly Thursday, NLT Friday. Old Voyager XP is installed but someone pulled the red wire out of the back of the unit.
Ordered these today. EGT/Boost gauge, Oil pressure/water temp gauge (without the optional extra temp function) plus the ‘Enhanced lighting controller. I phoned Redarc in Adelaide to ask for a local distributor ‘cos I thought that almost $70 for delivery (priced on their web site) to Ballarat was unreasonably steep. The redarc bloke I spoke to agreed that it was steep & gave me contats for two local shops who are ‘authorised re-sellers’ whom he suggested would also be able to offer me a better price on the gauges themselves. ARB & an auto electrical joint. The sparkies matched ARB’s price & reckoned they can get them quicker than ARB said they could, so the sparkies got my business. Price represented a saving of almost $120 over buying them from Redarc online, & around $100 less than the best price I’ve seen on ebay.
Would that be A&J Auto Elec Cuppa?

scored a set of 4.33 diff gears to fit up to the patrol, she should be a little better now with the extra grunt.
Bought a couple of volt meters from eBay.
The batteries are connected as a bank by their own CB. If one of the CB's opens I have no way of knowing.
Simple solution is individual volt meters, any difference is indicative of a problem
.
Except they read different. I am fussy about this sort of thing.
Seller is just that and no help.
If you can open one up is there a small pot you can adjust to make them the same
That will be pretty difficult to set up using single contact C/Bs.
If the batteries are in parallel, whatever fault condition trips one CB will trip both anyway.
Can you mount the C/B's so you can see the trip indicator?
You could try connecting only 1 meter with the meter +ve on one battery +ve and the meter -ve on the other battery +ve
If both CB's are closed the meter should read 0.0x.
If a C/B opens the voltage will drift from zeroish as the battery terminal voltages change.
-ve voltage if one CB opens, +ve if it is the other
I thought that but can not see one, they are panel mount so the PC components are all exposed.Quote:

In the situation of both CB's tripping the accessories wont be working, so I think that is covered???
Went to the stealership, got some more coolant and another towbar plug-in harness, as my old one isn't in a good way at the moment.
These arrived for me at work last week and I picked them up at today
