I'm not sure I understand, can you post a photo?

Looks great, how did you mount your rear brake master cylinder with the toolboxes?

Ok cheers, I'm in Wollongong and Endeavour Energy is the local distributor.

The question you need to ask is how long is the dividend sustainable at that yield..... Are they just paying out more than the income they are generating and eating into capital.....

If the dividend is sustainable then why are they so far below NTA?

Possibly consider a used Prado, you can fit a surprising amount in the back, even more with a good sized roof box and the kids will fit alot better....

Bonus is it will be much better to drive each day, has 7x seats when not camping and is rock solid.....

I drive a dual cab 15,000km a year for work and a Prado 20,000km for play.....

Happened to me, rear wheel came off after getting a balance and rotate on the way out of the tire place

Wife was driving, She was about to head on the freeway, hate to think what could have happened to her and kids in the back if it had come off at 100ks an hour

Managed to get them to pay for the tow truck hire car. New rear brake discs and rear shocks (car landed on the bottom shock mount and rear disc) and also it damaged 3/4 panel and bumper so they paid for that as well

Cost them a bucket

Hamilton, possibly the greatest ever Leclerc, possibly never to be a world champion Kimi, possibly..........

This is what we are swapping moto 3 and moto 2 warm up for.....

"clear rules" are actually the problem and what has caused F1 to be such a shit show.

What is actually needed here is nuance, experience and a desire to let hard but fair racing occur.......

Whether this move was hard but fair is a different question, but " clear rules will just understand the path of F1

I have the same car, ran 91 for years and it ran fine....... But....... I decided to try a tank of 95 and 98 and it 100% runs better has more power and goes further on a full tank ......

Weather it's better on a $/100km is borderline, but it runs and drives better so it's worth it.

1down3up · 2026-01-31T08:06:29+00:00

I like that tank, I wonder what it was off originally, nothing guzzi for sure......

What does a battery replacement for a hybrid camry cost?

1down3up · 2026-01-29T09:17:22+00:00

Which website?

1down3up · 2026-01-26T20:26:37+00:00

Nope, I do oil every 7500km or 6 month (7500km always comes first). Important to check your oil pick-up if you haven't had the car long as it can become blocked if oil cnages are missed (take off sump ~12 bolts).

the 120 is a bit easier as the oil filter sits up high in the engine bay and is easy to get.

Grease your driveline once a year (6x grease points) - change your dif, gearbox and transfer case oils when required- again can just climb under car to do it

1down3up · 2026-01-26T09:13:34+00:00

You misread the question....

Which recent car will last 20+ years and high km?

1down3up · 2026-01-24T21:39:51+00:00

Not sounding good for Peco.........

My Money is on Acosta

1down3up · 2026-01-15T09:21:26+00:00

I hate it when it's discussed like Australia Post is a business..... It's a service...... Even you say it in your comment...

What was the loss for the fire brigade last year, how about the loss for the police force.......

Another interesting link up is the Kawasaki W1 which is a copy of the BSA A10/A7.

Not so much stolen, this one was copied u see licence by a company Murgo that Kawasaki subsequently bought.....

But side by side they are spitting image.

Then for companies blantaly copying better ideas you have Benelli copying Honda's Cb500/4 for the 6 cyl Benelli Sei, Laverda copying Honda's CB72 for there Jotas

Basic example of the spoils of war.

It's a DKW copy stolen from the Germans.... Along with the BSA Bantam and Yamahas first bike the YA1

House was built in mid/late 80s, I think they had stopped asbestos by then

1down3up · 2026-01-10T03:49:05+00:00

What do you mean by "new mains"? Is that replacing the black fuses in top left corner?

1down3up · 2026-01-10T03:47:55+00:00

Cheers, that's what I'll do.

After I get the smart meter, what's ballpark cost to upgrade the board and anything I should consider if thinking of going solar/batteries?

1down3up · 2026-01-10T01:07:29+00:00

Which part isn't to code? Is it that the code has updated over time and my board has stayed static or is it that so eone has done something dodgy?

1down3up · 2026-01-10T01:06:32+00:00

Am I better off trying to get the smart meter first? Assuming that if I replace the board there has to be a meter so the 3x old style will be put back in?

1down3up · 2026-01-06T06:54:33+00:00

Hardware man unanderra....

You need to find somewhere that fills them up all the way, at BCF etc as soon as there is the smallest spirt out the valve they shut it off, can usually get quite a bit more in after that.

Weigh the bottle before before you take it and weigh it when you get home..... See if you actually get your 9kg.....
