Mark n Deb

Thanks Darryl and yes mate it is fantastic, you have been very quiet for a while aswell mate what are you up to these days, i heard you sold the van as well :shades:

Thanks for that Sue and yes it was a big move but was for the better. I still have not got used to seeing running water in the creeks and rivers oh and all the green green grass. Rod & Mavis are comming down with the van in Feb/Mar and told us to make sure we have a drive way big enough and we do so we are hoping that we will have them staying for a little while, Mark & Bern will be arriving her new years eve and staying for nearly a week (in the house with us no van) and we are looking forward to that so much, we are activally searching out the best place for meals and the best so far is the Blenheim Inn Hotel in Longford so if anyone is staying around here go for a meal you will not be disapointed and dont be suprised if you can not eat it all.

Hello to all, well we have relocated to Hadspen Tasmania and have only been here 8 weeks now and loving it, when i went down the road this afternoon i saw a Kedron in the van park just down the road and it made me think of the owners we have met before and have not seen for a while. We unfortunatly sold our van before leaving Brisbane and a young couple from Bowen purchased it, we will not have a van for a while but iam sure after a while we will have to have another built. The picture is the sceinery we had when we walk down the road to the South Esk River about 5 to 600 mts away

I was told to search for this file at the last caravan and camping show, its a list of farm gates. We will be down at the same time so if you see a white Land Rover Discovery and QLD plates give us a wave becuase if we see you with the van on we will be sure to give a wave.

Well isnt it the year for travel to the apple isle, we will be heading down leaving Dec 12 and return mid January, we will be leaving the van at home and staying in cabins for the trip, we cant wait. Hope you all have a safe trip.

Gday Darryl long time and no see mate, how true about the ekka and they wonder why the attendance is way down :question: G Dave you can hit below the belt mate LOL great to see you are still having fun. You must be looking forward to returning home and re-entering the work force mate. Dam shame its not long after you return and we head off to Tassi.

I was looking for wheel nuts not long ago and found what i wanted here, I have ordered them through Supercheap, when i was trying to find the nuts i went to all the tyre places & they told me i couldnt get them and would be best to chage the wheels :confused1: . After some searching i found this site Speco wheel nuts, best of luck

Gday Lea, i have been using Bullguard for 2 years now and have found it very user friendly and safe, i have not had any virus with it aswell, i originaaly bought it at Colonial Soft Computer Services now at 65 Gilston St, Keperra, it can also be purchased online Bullguard web site

Gday We are with CIL and have just made a claim, it went pretty smooth but their communication with the repairer is not real good but repairs were made in the end. The last renewal we noticed the value of the van has decreased and is supposed to be agreed so have to chase that up next renewal

Gday guys its great to see you are still having fun, safe travels and catch up again soon :thumbsup:

Welcome to KOG Bob and Annette hope you enjoy it as much as we have

G Rod & Mavis dont you hate it when people do that, :laugh: We still cant go anywhere in our van as its still at the doctors, we are hoping to get it back before the 17th April so we can go to Stanthorpe for a weekender

Gday all, i was wondering if anyone can remember anything from the old forum in regard to fuse melting when fridge running on 12v, we went away for the weekend and before we left i checked the fridge and was not cold i then found the 15amp fuse in boot had melted (not blown) and the fridge was not getting cold on 240v, i replaced the fuse and the fridge started working on 240v ??? and when i switched over th 12v the fuse started the heat up. I ran into Bob (KOG member) at the Chinderah Village caravan Park and he remembered something some time ago about fuse/fridge problems

Also i just got off the phone to TomTom and they have a special on the Australian maps @ $79.95, i rang and asked if they are selling maps that are about to be replaced cheap and when is the next update due, they told me it is a special offer and no more map releases are expected for nearly 18 months. The special lasts untill 17 Feb 09

Gday Gordo & Chris, if you go to my website i have a GPS/NAV page where i have got links to a couple of real good sites that i got all my POI's from. My Webpage

Gday tete & Tracey yes i liken it to an artilary strike, i have seen very similar back when in my younger days when in the Army but never since. Iam stagered at the amount of tree waste comming into the Ferny Transfer Station. We have had 2 mill grinders running 24 hrs a day since Monday avo, when i did he paper work at midnight last night we had had 3400 tonnes of mulch out since Monday and midnight tonight i would say over another 1000 should have gone out. I am hoping we can go back to running a mulcher during the day only from tommorrow or Tuesaday. The amount of household waste comming in over the weekend hasnt been as bad as i thought it would have been but yes it has been a lot more than normal about 100 tonnes a day more than normal, anyway iam back off to work now, c you all latter. Mark

We are glad you guys are safe, that didnt look good from the pics. How did you go with the house all safe, we have broken windows and water damage, On the Monday i was swinging chainsaw all day helping the neighbours with thier trees down after i cleaned all our fallen ones. A hugh Thanks to Mark & Bernadette we managed to save most food in the fridge for lending their generator as our power only came back around 11pm Wed night. I have been also working the night shift at the Fertny Grove Transfer Station for the council trucks working at night. We hope any other members in the area are all safe and well

Ok i found the contatc details 4WD SUSPENSION & BODYLIFTS 0418780611 A/H PH/FAX 07 33512692

John Zordan 4wd@iinet.net.au Give John an email, i cant find his number, he is a Toymota nut you will be in safe hands. Just tell him i sent you his way

Yes guys and our thanks for inviting us along, we had a ball :shades: and look forward to the next one

This company is worth a look when it comes to battery prices, i just purchased a new battery to replace the trojan in our van, it should be here tommorrow and charged up for the Millmerran trip Energymatters

I would say they dont deserve to own a car full stop, but then if it had of been a Jackerroo with a snorkle he would have been just fine, :tongue_ss: Jackeroo can do it or a Land Rover he could have done this Land Rover swimming

This was posted on the LandRover forum by one of the guys out with the owners of this Landcruiser. Drowned Landcruiser

John, yes mate I adjusted the brakes a few months ago before the Noosa North Shore trip and I wasn't very impressed with the brakes then as well, just cant seem to get the right setting, its very frustrating. Rosco, how's it going mate, Chris still keeping you on your toes :clown: . Thanks for that info, this is what got me interested to start with and was going to get the prodigy and I saw the P3 and this got my interest up. For any info to others we purchased the P3 online with ABR Sidewinder on Monday night, this moring (Wed 8:30am) a courier delivered it to the door, I am very impressed with the service and recommend him. http://www.sidewinder.com.au/ Ebay store

We have just purchased a P3 brake controller from ABR Sidewinder, i havent heard any reports on how they perform does anyone here use one already and if so how is it. We use the Voyager now and iam not very impressed with it, i just cant seem to get the brakes rite :confused1: they are either to harsh or not enough. By the time we got home from the Winton trip i could only just feal the trailer brakes but if i used the manual slide the trailer brakes never even came on, the light turned redish orange but the car just kept rolling on didnt even slow. Iam hoping the new P3 will solve this problem.
