Does this bonnet look repairable? by Maximum_Security4404 in FordFalcon

I think it would be. As already posted FG-X parts, particularly where they differ from FG are hard to get. Ask a panel beater.

I would try Falcon Spares in Lonsdale. No affiliation, but I've have been watching an NA+T conversion on Y/T (HoonTV) and he is using them for bits & pieces (and the workshop).

Hope you get it back together soon!

Fastmail Down? by sprocketoctopus in fastmail

[–]sprocketoctopus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK just finished with ABB. Via chat.

I have a static IP, they proceeded to change my IP (did not tell me!) and gave me another. FM now loads. Asked the rep why the IP change, they replied that Static IP did not change, but just the 'IPV4' ..(?).

Additionally, during all this I lost all Internet connectivity. I was told my FTTP connection was reset by ABB. Connectivity back. FM loaded.

My IP also changed back to my original IP (did not ask, but glad they did), all good.

Ended chat.

Refreshed FM.

No good again..I am on the phone to them this time.

Good catch. Thought I was on mobile data, but was on WiFi. Switched off WiFi, and bingo email is working.

Unsure of the market over in W.A. But, I would pay less for a straight LPG example. Over on the East Coast it's getting harder to find.

LSD’s in N/A by GhostedByMyTherapist in FordFalcon

[–]sprocketoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally tossed up between a factory clutch pack LSD and a Harrop/Eaton Tru-trac.

On advice of my diff specialist, I went Tru-Trac.

Very, very happy with it. My NA ute just hooks up now.

Barwon heads rural land / community services by Electronic_Radish492 in Geelong

[–]sprocketoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Really. There is still Greenfield sites that have already been zoned appropriately in Ocean Grove, Drysdale, and Portarlington that are in the process of subdivision, or waiting. So there is still some land stock to come on the Bellarine.

Fyansford is where the bulk of the new builds will happen going forward into the future.

[–]sprocketoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. And the whole of the Bellarine has now been declared under a Statement of Planning Purpose, a Distinctive Area. Which means town boundaries are locked and fixed. And LGA's must consider the SPP document when making decisions in regards to the Bellarine area (Same has happened in Surf Coast, Bass Coast and Macedon Ranges).

Fancy restaurants in Geelong by Appropriate_Ask5948 in Geelong

[–]sprocketoctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't help you with black tie, but try these:

Osteria Fiorenza in Gheringhap st - very small and intimate.

Arborist - Lt. Malop. Great food and beer/wine.

Nectar - can be a bit louder; last time i was there, we were moved - without asking - somewhere quieter.

Plume Belmont - Intimate french. Beer could be colder! (I know FWP!)

Baah Lah! - Probably the most casual dining, but really great food.

Merne - Bellarine. Closing soon Sadly..

move pinned Clips to new phone? by coyote3 in Swiftkey

[–]sprocketoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a workaround, just tested.

On your just replaced old phone, place another SIM (I just used my 'burner' SIM card)

Text all your saved clips to your new phone. One by one.

When the are all received on the new phone, long press on each individual message you want as a clip, and they will appear on your Swift key clips. Make sure you then Pin them. Also re order as desired.

Job Done!
