Have the CAT on my ute from new. This is the second one with 4 pads after original unit's housing cracked after10 years.
Nothing will prevent rust entirely but IMHO this helps slow it down.
I go to...

Would not touch Kings stuff ever.
You only get what you pay for (if you're lucky)and at that price it will be trouble sooner rather than later and usually at most inconvenient time and place.

Recent Temora show was fantastic. Only problem was culling down the 1800 photos to a manageable number.
Camping on site was a real bonus.

Just confirmed Lara Sports Club will NOT be available due to ongoing works.
Saw Geelong showgrounds on Wikicamps so probably that will stay there.

Another update
ECU also controls airconditioning, increases revs at idle.
Did about 5000klm on Fraser and to Temora with no problems and excellent fuel economy (as low as 12.1lp100k) Came back on...

Update. Auto sparky replaced 2 relays as they were beyond repair. Running well but glow plugs still need a manual override switch they installed.
Off to Fraser tomorrow for 10 days or so and then to...

Update. It appears that the ECU which controls glow plugs and fuel pump timing (not fuel volume as pump is mechanical) might be the problem. Unfortunately sparky can't get there until Monday...

GU is now 18yrs old and goes to Fraser a couple of times every year so rust was always going to be a problem sooner or later. Had windscreen replaced many years ago and a dodgy job did not seal it...

First thing they learn at Uni is that NEVER let the truth get in the road of a good story.

Heard interview live on Friday afternoon while on Fraser Island. Plenty of tailor at present.
Well spoken Cuppa.

Ute is his work vehicle as a painter (and decorator as I remind him) and we only go fishing to Fraser etc so no rock climbing or mud etc.

Back again with update.
Existing drag link is in good condition so does not need to be replaced. It only the cracked rubber boots which will cost $10 from Superior Engineering.
Pays to shop around.

Vague plan is to go to Avalon airshow in March and then just head west. No particular time or place except be back by 1st week in October for trip to Fraser with son and the usual group of derelicts....

Bit the bullet and spent some of my son's inheritance.
Really happy after a week or so on Fraser as every thing just works as it should. A lot of time and effort has gone into the design and...

Have not posted for ages but have lurking to keep up to date.
A common problem with GU and GQ's is the brake lights staying on. Most often caused by the broken little plastic insert that the plunger...
