I might need a bigger ute! LOL. This is my boy, Cyclone, aged 7 months. Pic taken this morning!
The handbrake is somewhere under his tail. LOL.
Did anybody spot the cobwebs and rust on the stubby stick (due to lack of use)? LOL

Who would have believed a secondhand Aldi winch could lift a GQs nose off the ground? We had a huge blackwood limb hanging over the driveway. Had some help getting the rope around the limb and tried to get the winch to drag it down, but instead, the Old Trol started going up, with Mrs mudsane in the drivers seat, pressing hard on the brake pedal!!. At least the limb won't fall on the road, but we gotta get the council to cut it down.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

So my 10plus YO ARB 47L has been randomly working on 12V for the last year or two. It would get to temp, -3c, then rise to zero, with lights flashing, then all of a sudden start working again. I finally took it into ARB to get a quote on repairing it. Apparently it needed a new PCB and control panel, $700! They just said, why not just buy another one! Because if it can be repaired for less why should I? Plus just throwing it out and creating more rubbish didn't sit well with me.
So after stripping the fridge down and running tests over every component using the ARB fridge tech manual, finding everything that could be tested was working I looked up the part numbers of the main PCB and control panel and called in the big guns. The son of the original founder of ARB. I had helped him out on a few occasions for parts for his race car so it was his turn to help me out.
In the end, I got the main PCB, front control panel and patch leads for a mere $120, 20 minutes later, the fridge is alive again!!!
A bit cheaper than $700
