Hey Macka. Don't touch Chinese vehicles with a barge pole. Putting the resale value and street credibility aside. One of the biggest problems is getting access to repair information - code setting conditions and wiring diagrams etc. I pay for a subscription based service for this information and...

This gives some insight Re fire risk: https://bcycle.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/EU-Fire-Risks-Associated-with-Batteries-2012.pdf FYI. Repairing an old NiMH Toyota battery is/was not that complicated (With understanding). The cells used were of DD size in stacks, five IIRC.

My kids were/are (my eight year old still worries about it and used to hate it being mentioned) terrified of the Dogai (Dogeye). Still strong in culture/belief of the Torres Straits. https://www.baduartcentre.com.au/artists/gehmat-nona/zurathau-dogai (Susu = breast) (Susu fruit is Pawpaw)...

Thanks Mackka. Just like to check in every now and then. :)

😂 I know. Really tried not to post but the misconceptions was driving me nuts. It's what I do.

If any body knows how to program Microchips, it can be done for a few dollars by taking the output from the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor, modifying it with the chip and dumping the result back to the Differential Pressure Sensor of the DPF. And removing the filter, which when fully efficient is...

About forty years ago my uncle, a doctor, explained dowsing to me and we tried an experiment. We'd each independently walk round the house and see if we could 'find water'. 'Coincidently' we both, unknowingly, had our 'coat hangers' cross at the same location. It surprised me but I put it down...

TBH that is exactly what my inlaws did and then we followed. Inlaws did Hermanburg, Docker River, Wingellina and everything else in between(many others I can't recall). They left NZ, worked the outback and now have their own house in SW WA. They were in their sixties when they did that. We...

And another one to give you an idea. https://www.ig.com/uk/learn-to-trade/ig-academy Trading is easy, register, transfer cash, IG (commsec - link bank account), choose your poison, buy, sell, sing and dance. Or 8.( IG is cheap ($7 comes to mind 0n $10K) to trade but I don't think you...

Chain oil is always the biggest expense. Yes, the proper bar oil probably gives the chain and bar the longest life but was never the most economical. We'd use, if available, old sump oil, engine oil, cooking oil and at one stage acquired hundreds of liters of oil that came from military tanks...

Endone and Ibuprofen. You have to reduce the pain to stop the muscle knotting up the nerves. Endone a very strong pain killer (prescription only) along with paracetamol to kill the pain and Ibuprofen to reduce swelling in the area. In most cases it will see you right in 48 hrs. I've had it on...

Only purpose is to control the depth of cut the teeth make, it's not there to cut. All they do. If you didn't have the rakers there would be no control on how much the chisel teeth will grab. So every six or seven sharpen you would take the top off the rakers with a flat file to give the cutters...

Not so much keeping it a secret, just not going to advertise it. The area is pristine. To many people don't do the right thing and one could easily get into trouble in there. The TO's were advised of our plans, most people wouldn't careless. It's a walk that is not encouraged. This sign at the...

A lot more water going over now.

Aussiefarmer has pretty much nailed it. I felled and cross cut timber full time for ten years and I reckon it took me over six months of sharpening a chain five times a day before I got it close to right. It's a practice makes perfect scenario. Rakers only need to be adjusted if the teeth have...
