As much as I would love the drive, it would be very hard to justify 8 days driving for a 1 day event, especially if I brought my son with me. Any chance of attending would have to be a trip for other ...

Already do that to keep up with all the jobs of keeping the kids, wife and house going. Believe me, sleep time is not even close to that regularly recommended.

My preparation so far - crossing my fingers!!! Time available in the next few weeks - stuff all!!

What are the number so far?

Interesting. This was put to the 10th MMNR delegates meeting and turned down. I don't see how an individual club can make a decision on what is included in the National Rally. Or is it that the clu ...

Since no one else is responding....

It could be the sender unit too. Not sure which way around it is, but it works on a resister. If empty is full resistance on the sender unit, then full is no r ...

Just as a follow up, I seemed to still have problems after going through all this, battery would be almost flat in a week and didn't want to charge up well. So I took the battery out and took it back ...

I remember reading a comparison of digital with analogue when digital dashes were coming into production cars, and the issue was that the time taken to read them was too great, you could not tell with ...

Was tossing up options for a guages upgrade, thinking that some digital would be cool. So I bought a digital tacho for my every day runabout hack and I'm ultimately disappointed. I mounted it on the ...

Couldn't believe I actually think I had some success with this. With only 2 fuses left to check I thought it wasn't going to work. but without the fuse in for the interior lights, all seemed quiet - ...

Thanks, if I get a chance this weekend I will have a look. Option 1 sounds like a good first step as I don't have a Megger tester, but might see if some contacts can get their hands on one

How do you track down a problem of a small earth leakage in the electrical system?

It doesn't take long for my battery to go flat, maybe a couple of weeks (yes, relatively new battery, have always ...

Motorbike blinkers have been used, not sure if thats what you are after

I know stone chips are part of touring around the country, after 20 years it's hard to find the new ones each time amongst the rest. However this time there would be considerably more. Yes, I defini ...

Thanks Bill, yes I do enjoy the longs drives, but a good road would help - see my other comments. They are a little more difficult with a 5 year old now.

After making it home last night (Wednesday) I can say that the condition of the roads in Qld has to be the worst in the country, in particular the Bruce Highway. The worst bit most likely between Ro ...

Well wouldn't that be great, to go for a short cruise and get there that day. After driving for 2 days I won't even be out of the state!

Thanks Heather.

However I am now confused. I thought you were all car people, in particular the guys. I thought there would hence be an automatic burning desire to see inside some ones shed - or ...

As much as this topic bothers me, it seems hard to leave it alone after being so involved with it some years back.

No, clubs cannot just change the rules, it needs to go through the delegates meeti ...

good to see someone can find out when things are on here. They all seem to be very secretive, I can never find out when anything is on.

Looks like I missed this one, as I hadn't checked the forum ...

That's the way to go, just need to keep an eye on your points and plugs as they will wear down. After my last trip to Perth I had to replace the plugs because the centre electrode was so worn down

Morris fuel pumps I think are designed this way. But, if you are replacing a Morris pump with an aftermarket electric one, certainly place it at the back near the fuel tank. They are designed to pus ...

If you want to look at different door locks, have a look at the Autoloc units. they have a small unit that may fit in a Morris Door. It's the best I've seen so far. Problem with most existing car a ...
