Also lost my sub-tank yesterday. Got the warning light on the dash and it won't transfer to main.
I had a quick look at the air con problem and it looks like the TJM side step mount has rubbed through the ally aircon tube. Guess who's getting a phone call today!..haha
I traced the sub transfer pump wiring and it goes to a harness in the same spot where the aircon tube was damaged so I wonder if the harness was damaged as well .
Will have another look today

Havent updated for a while now. Well, we're slowly moving south .
Left Bowen last week I think and went to Airlie beach. What a beautiful place!!
Attachment 19808
Unfortunately we pretty much drove in and drove out as it was too crowded and too many tourists for my likeing.. Hahaha.
So we went to Mackay for a couple of nights to relax and to give the boys a bit of a play in the water park
Attachment 19809
After that we went to Sarina ( town with a big toad)
Attachment 19816
and did a tour of the sugar mill which was pretty cool
Attachment 19810
How the old boys did it
Attachment 19811
Attachment 19812

Attachment 19814
This came out in 1969 and still use a very similar harvester today but with an air conditioned box on top
Attachment 19815
Pretty amazing that nothing at all goes to waste with the sugar cane, and I mean nothing at all. This tour is highly recommended and has free grog and sauces tasting at the end:)
We then headed down to Carmilla beach to get smashed by the midgies(sand flies) but the effort was worth a couple of mud crabs and a couple of grunter
...sorry no pics on the iPhone
Oh here's one the little inlet just of the main beach
