the problem with that is the independent makes about 5cents per litre on sales the big guys screw the fuel companies and also are trying to force the small guys out and when they go you know which way the price will go and it wont be down.
similar to me, i sell aircons and harveys etc are so big they sell them for the same price i buy them for as they get a volume rebate 30% so thats where they make their money.
Plenty of small local shops in any town to jump onboard and help each other out.Quote:

No of course not. But your all helping out the small guys.
Independent Fuel depot gets increased customers due to discounts, local shops, hell it can be a clothing store, get increased customer flow to get Fuel savings..
In turn more money in the shop owners pockets to put into the other shops..
Its a big circle, and unfortunately the big companies have it cornered..
Big chain supermarkets only use the fuel discounts to get you buying at there supermarket, they don't care about the fuel money, the big money is in the groceries!!! you buy there so you get $$ off your fuel. Therefor not going to the small independent servos who rely on fuel as a main income.
hope you didnt get this one seems a bit expensiveQuote:

Yea totally agree. But if yout can offer people the same discount in a local shop then majority will assist the small guys..Quote:

had the front drive checked to try and find the banging noise, had the wheels off checked the manual locking hubs all ok took the uni joints out nothing wrong, dropped the diff nothing wrong, the only thing was a worn wheel bearing so its back together and tested, no noise so will have to give her a workout to see that its ok.
Fitted external battery 175 amp Anderson plug and modified jumper leads to suit, no more lifting the bonnet to jump start tojos and pajs for me, Geez I'm lazy.
New Radiator Fan, Belts, front wheel bearings. Oil n filters, linkage arm things. Steering damper. Should drive good now!
I took some folks from our resort in Cana Fistula, Costa Rica to the airport in Liberia. Some very rough roads until you hit the city, but the passengers were amazed at how comfortable the ride was and how the vehicle handled the mountain "roads".
Stropp if the noise comes back double check the isolation rubber on top of the springs. When this wears to thin or isn't positioned properly etc it can cause a knocking noise in the front end.Quote:

Will try and do tomorrow. back allowing
Yeah I hit a log pretty hard trying to get out of a big hole and now my steering wheel is pointing towards 11 o'clock
belt it back straight or if you know someone with a hydraulic press would be ideal.
wouldn't/shouldn't cost bugger all to straighten, fresh coat of paint and away you go
Put a 'his' and 'hers' external mobile phone aerials and a CB aerial on the top of the pod. These new 3 additions compliment my Codan NGT AR HF black whip aerial on the front of the bull bar. Tried for a pic, but the wife doesn't know where her camera is. Sorrrryyyy.
So use the phones cameraQuote:

Also removed 3 accessory wires from the + terminal on the battery and relocated them to a 4 way gold plated terminal tucked neatly in the middle of the looms behind the battery. I replaced them with a single 8 gauge wire, then replaced to 8 gauge going to the dual amps with 0 gauge. That should supply the 2 ch splitter's dual 8 gauge wires with enough for a dual 20a draw from the boot.. Just a neaten up and Im glad its done, friggin wouldnt stop raining long enough for ages to get those jobs done.
At Kalkarindji NT for the week. Saving $275 a night in a donga. Won't take long to pay back tent.
Pretty flash here. I have an ensuite. :)
Attachment 41670
Filled mine with 12 bags of concrete and now I have concrete dust everywhere. I'll hose it out one day...
Installed a new Diesel Smart IC today, and fitted up a provent catch can, cleaned MAF and tidied up boost control hoses a bit.
Nice, any pics before after intercoolerQuote:
