And I thought my double stout was headache material at 6.7%

That was me and it was only part of the problem. Never heard of it before but it was the rotors that were the main issue.

:p Not sure how you are so confused. I said Footy, as in Greatest Game of All, not Ping Pong as in keeping cricketers fit in the off season.

First game of the footy is on. Got 1920's Guinness clone, an Aussie and US style XPA and a Belgian Saison on tap so having one of each on rotation!

Yep, Them auto sparkies are a bit that way; working with 12 and 24V is a bit how's your father. Us real electrician have to work with 240 - 415V and learn three colours. So much harder!

@Rastawayne To own one of these beasts and do your own maintenance you really need to own a decent scanner in order to do the diagnostics and then determine a solution as so much of it is related to sensors and computers. An engine fault light could be for numerous reasons. You can get it...

That is really coming up well. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I trust everyone had a great Christmas Welded up the barrier for the tub today and mounted it the ute. I failed to think through the second and third order effects of my design so there are a couple of minor changes I would make if I did it again. The design issue is that I centred the mount...

I have done a heap of research on this now. Pretty confusing at times and there are pros and cons. If I was living in a city with stop start traffic the cowl would be a plus, open road (like where I love) a minus. The research has also made me think about other cooling related mods that have...

Didn't get as far as I wanted today because of the rain. I did sort out the issue with not being able to close the hard lid properly. It turns out that I miscalculated the positioning of the lower strut mount. I did a radius calculation to determine the initial position - clearly got it wrong as...
