Great News
Suspecting then (signage pictured) , only because I’ve nearly done it myself not too long ago with a Super Safe European “car” driver in front of the Acco 8x4 they may have similarly late notice overreacted jamming on their anchors without checking how many tonnes were driving to conditions behind them

Their mirrors should have the "30 ton MASS stops later then they appear " sticker on them ...

If company code of conduct didn't forbid me from showing cool stuff on the interwebz (I love my job), I'd show you "super safe" "not sure which house I'm picking up from" Uber hybrid Camry driver, wearing a Peru crane up the rear with a few 2t conc poles loaded.
With very colourful language from my driver's point of view added as a bonus ...
70k road isn't a great idea to suddenly stop and check if you're at the right pickup location , as he has learnt.
When your turban goes flying , you know , you should've checked your mirrors .....

“You’re Farkin Joking Crunt” is what I imagine sound/footage to be @Hodge Brother

A lot more than I intended to!

Went into Lockhart River for our weekly shopping this morning & on arrival back at the Research Station found coolant p*ssing out of the bottom of the car. Finding the leak took ages but eventually tracked it down to a short hose underneath the intercooler. Plenty bright green all over the front underside of the motor, starter motor & front of prop shaft, but very hard to find. A very light telltale trace of the green stuff showed on the underside of the affected hose - a visitor's UV torch made it easier to see (he carries it to aid finding scorpions). After removing it - a mission in itself - I found several small teeth marks, too small for a White tailed rat, so probably a Melomys. Didn't look like the hose had been pierced but soapy water & blowing into it it with the other end blocked made bubbles. Managed to 'Macgyver' a replacement for the offset S shaped hose from bits & pieces we carry - hose & joiners. As well as leaving the bonnet up, I have now added a 240v light in the engine bay which will remain on all night in the hope of dissuading the little buggers. Hard to believe I used to enjoy doing this sort of stuff, but my body is finding it increasingly difficult. Gonna hurt tomorrow morning! Still have to test drive it - just hoping it was the only leak. Have run the car up to temp, ticking over & think it's sorted. Fingers crossed.

Little Buggers Cuppa Mate See if you can track down some FNQ Python Poo . Apparently if you hide it around your home or under your bonnet I imagine too, Rodents won’t come within a Cooee whiff We got smashed in the Hills down here over winter by Rats, they took out Rossco’s GQ heater hoses and gnawed through my GQ brake master cap. Searching for some Vic-Pet Python Nuggets myself at the moment
