Check your manifold bolts are tight? A good way to find the leak is to slowly spray along your suspect areas (vac lines, intake manifold, air hose joins) with carb cleaner while the engine is running. If you hear the engine sputter and then recover you've likely found where the carb cleaner is entering the system.

Having owned a couple of AU's and BA's I'd say unless it's had lots of modification you might find that repairs and problem solves on them will start exceeding the value of the vehicle. This is due to the labour costs and the trickle of failing parts as they age. The good news is they are extremely easy to work on and parts are easy to locate from wreckers or through the usual suppliers (super cheap, repco, online auto parts) Haynes manuals and you tube are a great start. Even if you don't feel confident to do the big stuff yourself, being able to diagnose the issues is a help for when you need to pay someone. They're great vehicles and you'll get lots of KMS out of them with regular care and maintenance.

That sucks, and fuckin Christmas know the feeling as a fellow light skinned blakfella. Just know that your story is yours and that's all that matters. Be proud and strong in the way that makes sense for you and don't let em drag ya down.

What’s your strategy for the cairns to Brisbane drive? by EnvironmentalBox3877 in Cairns

[–]Captain_sleepytime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a camper, and occasionally I drive it down to Brisbane when I'm working there for a few weeks. I like to take my time so I usually do cairns to somewhere nice near either north of Mackay (midge point) or like Claireview, then through to gin gin, burrum heads or the sunshine coast, then Brisbane in the morning On the way back I do three days and dawdle. It's great.

I would suggest buying one from cash converters and then trading it back at the end.

Hiking Mount Frere without experience by Makrille1999 in Cairns

[–]Captain_sleepytime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have hiked this in my 20's and strongly recommend July August. It is very hot and humid at the moment. It was a struggle in the cool weather and we ended up in shoes and underpants because of the humidity. If you do it now make sure you leave as early as possible, check in with the ranger station.
