It puts a thin coating on top, hard to explain. You will have to try it.

Sounds great. What happens to the sourcream if you cook it?

I will definitely be using this as one of my go to recipes, thanks everyone.

Sandra I made this after Killkivan get together,so easy and lovely. I found that it gets even better with a night or two in the fridge. Thanks again

Hi Rod Our van has Safety Dave TPMS, and I'm unsure where I gained this bit of advice however, it is to have a small wedge of semi flexible foam tucked in between the valve stem and the rim. My concern was that the weight of the TPMS would be pulled by centrifugal force on the valve stem at speed. From time to time the wedges work their out and so I carry a few spares. Barry

SOLD....

Recently our TPMS saved us a tyre on our caravan . Since we have had the TPMS on our car and caravan it has saved us 4 tyres in the last 8 years. However 2 of these tyre deflations have been from the stem valve splitting at its base. I am wondering if this is caused from the excess movement of the stem valve as a result of the extra weight of the TPM attached to the top of the valve. Has any one else had this problem and if so how did you remedy this from future happenings. Thanks in advance. Rod

Thanks Michelle

Use a 27.5cm x 17.5cm slice tin Grease and line with bake paper - leave enough overhang on long sides to lift slice out once cooked and cooled Preheat oven to 160 degrees centigrade (slow oven - the temperature may vary depending on your oven) Ingredients Slice 185g unsalted butter melted 3 Weetbix crushed or use a combination of Weetbix and/or other cereal (I often use Guardian) to make up 60g 1 x cup self raising flour 1 x cup brown sugar 1 x cup desiccated coconut Icing 1 x cup icing sugar mix 3 x tbs chocolate Quik 1 x level tbs softened butter approx. 1 tbs hot water a bit of extra coconut for sprinkling on icing Method Mix all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl until well combined Make a well in the centre and pour in melted butter Mix well with a wooden spoon or knife until all ingredients are moist and well combined Press evenly into slice tin Bake in slow oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden in colour Remove from oven and leave in pan to cool When slice is slightly cool, lift from pan using long edges of bake paper Place on cooling rack and allow to cool almost completely When slice is cool… Place icing sugar mix, Quik and butter in a small bowl Slowly add water in small amounts while mixing with wooden spoon to a spreadable consistency Spread icing onto slice and sprinkle with extra coconut Cut into squares (approx. 20 pieces)

Hi All, 4 years ago my then husband took out a policy for his Toyota Landcruiser. For reasons of convenience, we used my credit card (in my name only) to pay for the initial premium. A year or so later, he and I split up. When the next premium came due, it again came out of my credit card. I spoke to my now X husband and ALSO CALLED Club 4X4 and told them to please take my name and my credit card away from any association with my X husbands account/policy. They apologised and told me they would do this immediately. The next year passed with out incident. Then this year, on the 7th of April, they again took nearly $2000.00 from my credit card. I called them up to complain and to get the payment reinstated to my credit card. Admittedly I was a little annoyed, but I have to say their response was lacklustre at best. I assumed that they would refund the money back to my credit card. When I called them back to enquire why the money had not been reversed back to my credit card, they told me that the credit card had expired so they were unable to process the refund. (WTF???) This totally begged the question as to how they were able to get money from a credit card that was expired in their system, and also, that they were told by myself (owner of credit card) to remove the credit card two years earlier from this account. To add insult to injury, the consultant then implied that my X husband had run a shonk and had told them to use my expired credit card. He who has no ability to know the numbers on my credit card. They also told me that my name had been spelt incorrectly in this most recent payment. (I had lived with this person for 42 years so it is improbable that he would be unable to spell my name correctly.) All in all it was a pretty disappointing effort on the part of 4X4 to deflect the blame of their mistake on to an innocent party. I found the arrogance of some of the consultants with whom I consulted to be extremely off putting. I had to provide Club 4X4 with an alternate BSB and account number so that they could process the refund. As soon as I have the money safely back in my account, I will sincerely hope that I never need to have anything to do with Club 4X4 ever again. So far theyve had my money tied up for about a week and theyre saying it could be 5-7 working days for it to get to my account. Not good enough 4X4. Not nearly good enough!!! Regards Daz

You’re on the right track. A 120W panel will just cover your usage, but in real-world conditions (heat, shade, angle), you’ll likely see only 60–80W average output. If you're regularly pulling your 120Ah AGM down to 60%, I’d suggest going for a 160W to 200W panel to give you a bit more buffer and ensure full recovery each day. Cheap vs Expensive Panels: Cheaper options ($200–$300) can work, but: Often come with PWM controllers (even if labelled MPPT) May use lower-grade cells Build quality and connectors can be hit or miss More expensive panels ($500+): Use better quality cells (more efficient) Include genuine MPPT regulators Have better build, waterproofing, and longevity Best approach: Consider buying a quality folding panel without a built-in regulator, and use a proper MPPT controller mounted near your battery. This gives you better performance and flexibility. Look for setups with Anderson connectors, and double-check voltage ratings if pairing with your own controller. Let me know if you want help choosing a solid mid-range option. Cheers.

Air bags, or heavier rear springs, do not re-distribute weight, and that is why steering will be floaty. I used a weight distribution hitch on the 100 series, and am now using it on the 300. On a recent trip the ball weight was 330 kg and as at all times using the WDH there is no difference in the feeling of the steering from when not towing. The steering is responsive and positive. There is an unfortunate lack of understanding as to how WDHs work.

Those querying previously about LC300 series with standard suspension and towing issues, did you find that the vehicle could handle 280kg downball weight, towing approx 3100kg double axle van loaded evenly for touring ( heavy stuff near axle)? My LC300 VX sagged at back and lifted at front, making steering totally floaty, even with 30psi inner-spring HD airbag support. Anyone have similar problem? If no, let me know. If yes, how did you solve? Note, I don't want to use a WDH unless absolutely necessary.

Please advise if the van is still for sale. Thank you

Oh Tony, Tony, Tony.

A man had been drinking at a pub all evening, and by the time the bartender rang for final orders he was totally bladdered. He stood up to leave and promptly fell flat on his face. A second attempt ended in the same result, so he figured he'd crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that would sober him up. Once outside he stood up and fell flat on his face once more. Giving it up as a bad job he decided to crawl the mile to his home. When he arrived at his front door he stood up and again fell flat on his face. He crawled indoors, up the stairs and into his bedroom. When he reached his bed he tried one last time to stand up. This time he managed to pull himself upright, but he quickly fell onto bed and was sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He was awakened the next morning to his wife standing over him. "So, you've been out drinking again!" she shouted. "What makes you say that?" he asked, putting on an oh-so-innocent look. "The pub called. You left your wheelchair there."

Yes, we did, had nearly 200mm over two days. Having a deck site was a real blessing. A few caravaners left early due to the amount of water flowing through the camp area.

Hope you didn't get caught up in that bad storm we saw going through the area with heaps of rain.

We have set up camp at Gumtree Lodge, Howard Qld for a couple of nights to celebrate the New Year. This time we have gone upmarket with a deck site. It is lovely enjoying the breeze off the water and watching the turtles, ducks and water hens. They do forecast storms, however hoping they stay further west from us. Wishing you all the best for 2025.

Merry Christmas and safe travels over the holiday break. Hope you all have a wonderful 2025 exploring our lovely country.
