I am coming to the conclusion this car wants to live out its days in the garage. Today, whilst out getting fuel, the volts spiked to 15.3 then dropped to 12.8, dashboard lit up with warning lights...
Thanks Ross, a/c turned out to be the switch on the dash was reverse wired - like WTF???? So as I pushed it in to energise the compressor clutch, it switched it off, which is why I have been thinking...
Bloody cars! I had a look at the a/c again today, had to be simple. I noticed the clutch on the a/c compressor was not engaged and the pump was making a knocking noise - so after chasing my tail I...
Done this today!

Well after maybe 10 years I reconnected the water in fuel sensor. The wires busted so long ago I just left it, out of sight out of mind.

I finally finished the dual carrier. I don’t think I’ll have issues. The rear bracing is wee heavy but we’ll see in two weeks when I head up to QLD then across into Innamincka and then south....
Got the barge out of the garage finally today, few stats. Dis a 200klm run, highway mostly, few dirt roads.

Another full day, dont know where the hours actually go in all honesty. Bolted the hard tow bars and Max trax to the roofrack, simple task just took hours. Wired up 4 cig lighter/usb points inside...
