Headed away into Burgoynes Gap again for 4 days, brilliant weather, came in the Cheynes Bridge approach, top radiator hose decided to leave the chat in the middle of a long winded climb, simply pushed the hose off the top tank spigot - engine was starting to get up into the mid 90's, anyway, lost about 5L of coolant, hell of a mess, but clamped the hose back on - the clamp tightened up ok, and remained so for the trip home, so another mystery. I was going to replace the clamp or at least swap out for the 'pro-flow ' or similar with the nut assy, but maybe now just keep as a spare.
Solar kept the battery bank nicely charged up, never fell below 13.1v for the 4 days with the fridge running, coffee machine 4 days, ran so hot the first time it thermal shutdown for 2 hrs! Loving the lithium system, used the induction cooktop whilst my brother ran out of gas - very satisfying!
New coils arrived whilst away. Swapping out the Dobinson rears from C45-315 - 250 - 400 variables, 4" lift to Dobinson C45-371T 550-700 constant, 4" lift. Will see how that sits. The articulation and ride is fine for what I do, just want it to site close to level so it does not attract attention.
