Knew there were another couple of options I'd forgotten! (I'm used to the East Coast uni's, particular the regional ones)

ECU or UWA? Good luck! Not sure I can help wth the exploring, but some of the others might jump in.

Because I needed a break, I had a quick look to see what was around: $110,000 for a DIY conversion, that may or may not be on a subframe: https://www.caravancampingsales.com.au/items/details/0/SSE-AD-7261610/?Cr=29 A demountable (which may be the easiest way to go for a habitat if you're time...

An interesting watch here on how the Europeans (Germans) build their motorhomes; Knaus are decent quality (my parents had 2 of their caravans for about 8 years each, in contrast a British (where they're based) caravan lasted 3 years before problems) . Check out the QC at the end, and notice...

Had Barmah hats for over 10 years (2 of) and they were abused - first one was worn every day working as an Outdoor Activity instructor, rain hail or shine. Would be clipped in my canoe on whitewater if I had a helmet on, was worn swimming quite often, just abused. Eventually even the 2nd one got...

And we still have 3 (1 to find a new home) hanging around at the moment; these 2 will go off to new homes (Tally in the foreground is the one who is still looking for a new home) The one in the background is a good camping dog, along with the one who is staying with us; no luxury for these...

Just found this on Autocar (if you can tolerate the Please let us use adverts) and thought it might be of interest for some people here. It's a bit light on the configuration of the body, but gives you some ideas: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/features/unstoppable-4x4s-uk-mountain-rescue

If the same as the skinny's here in Australia, 235/85R16 or 225/95R16 (which is what I think they are on now)

This will be interesting in terms of how it pans out being sold in to the European Market (LHD only, so not the UK or Ireland) https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/official-ford-bronco-4x4-coming-europe-2023

I used to run a Victorinox Swiss tool as that was the limit of what I could fix - ie if it needed that, then I was OK - more than that and I was out my depth. Over the last 10+ years I've been running a Crescent set that goes up to 19mm and 3/4", with both 3/8 and 1/2" drive ratchets (and...

No This is wrong. You can drive a temproarily imported vehicle that is LHD. https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/registration/register/left#:~:text=International%20tourists%20and%20foreign%20defence,on%20defence%20exchange%20in%20Australia You can drive and register a LHD vehicle that are over...

AU$96k for me (not even driveaway, so I've still got rego (~$1k), stamp duty (~$4K) and other fees to pay on top of that), probably over $!00k out the door.... which puts it up against a basic Land Cruiser 300 in price. https://my.ineosgrenadier.com/JPZ4HTHZR4 Which was a bit excessive for a...

Autocar is reporting the launch and orderbook opening on the 31st May for the 130: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/land-rover-defender-130-make-debut-31-may

John Deere is the last one I'd partner with. The reason they have a huge network is because they've locked everyone else out of their systems - and I suspect that they'd want the same model for Ineos. They keep getting dragged into the courts (globally) over the right to repair; as they state in...

A bit more commentary from Autocar of Ineos' sales model in the UK: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/business-dealership%2C-sales-and-marketing/why-tractor-dealers-will-be-able-sell-you-ineos Stand out quote was from one of the ag dealers: “The Grenadier is the boss’s car, while pick-ups are...

The IPO approach I think aligns with how some other manufacturers are scaling up and the spinning out a different sales model for EVs - for example, look at Geely with Volvo and Polestar. Polestar was the performance bit of Volvo once Volvo bought and brought them in house, but it was decided...

We've got 6x 9 week old Kelpie pups at the moment, and they're still playing sardines in the kennel: They're going to be a decent size when they finish growing; the dam (our dog) is 20kg, but the sire is about 25kg and a bit heavier set - this lot all have the dam's colours, but they look like...

The (half-)sibling of the Bronco is getting updated in Australia: https://www.drive.com.au/news/2023-ford-everest-specs-every-model-in-every-detail-pricing-to-follow/ "The current 3.2-litre five-cylinder turbo diesel has been dropped. The new standard engine – previously optional – is the...

So Ineos won't be selling to the fleets over here; 2 outcomes from that: 1) No volume sales 2) Strong(er) residuals Why won't they be selling to fleets? They won't be getting a 5* ANCAP crash rating due to not including a range of driver aids...

Couple of bits beginning to shake through here in Australia, who tend to sit very much on the fence for EV adoption. 600km range (400miles) and 4 minute battery swap, with swap-over places planned every 400km...
