We had an Isuzu 1400 long, tilt tray and a couple of times she went into limp mode because guys turned the truck off when it was doing its DPF dump.

I did a fair bit of research a while back on selective catalytic reduction systems (SCR) where a diesel exhaust fluid is used ( commonly known as Ad blue). What I have found is when used in small vehicles. It isnt too bad as the little tank normally holds enough to last between vehicle sevices. Some very expensive maintenence issues have arisen on heavy vehicles though. Geoff 13 could add to this as he has spent his whole life around heavy vehicles.

I dont think it will go around corners very well.

We would be better off with nuclear submarines but the greenies don't like that. Indonesia have submarines so we are better with having submariners than not having them. IMO the best way to kill a submarine is with another submarine.
-
Never, I was in the RAAF, then a sub contractor and now I am in an industry that doesn't have unions.
-
Unions are really good at preventing slacktards from getting sacked because they make the lazy arses site union representatives.
-
The last time we built our own subs, they turned out to be crap.
-
Submarines are used for covert and overt operations, surveillance and information gathering as well deploying special forces troops in a covert manner. Plus a Navy which doesnt have its own subs protecting their own fleet are sitting ducks to the enemies submarines. Oh, and if you're ever stuck on on the "Lost" island, it is a good way to get off the island.

I just had my 5 year old Toshiba 650 HDD lap top disk replaced with a Solid state disk. A lot cheaper than buying a new lap top.

I'm at work, but if I wasnt I would rather be playing Cricket.

I think the people at that holy site were thinking ' holy shite'.

Interesting, I have been using 10 for a few weeks and it has been working fine. Although I don't use chrome. Having said all this, I dont use my laptop much, I am always using my Ipad.

Diesel prices go purely by supply and demand. When the mining boom was on here is QLD we paid 15 cents plus per litre more for diesel than unleaded. Mines buy and burn a lot of diesel. Now that the boom is over, we pay nearly 20 cents per litre less than unleaded.

My folks have a dual fuel Nissan Patrol. With Gas getting more expensive than it used to be and the engine using more gas per kilometre than petrol. I don't think it is worth it. I would go for diesel.

One of my supervisors at work has a Coromal Magnum expander off road van and he loves it. He takes it to Rainbow beach, it tows really well behind his Prado.
-
Hard to say in case I am wrong, Coromal, Roadstar are good vans. I know Billabong make good vans but I am sure I am missing mentioning other great manufacturers. I don't own a van but things to look out for are things like - are the cuboard hinges full lenght aka piano hinges, or are they normal hinges like held by 6 or 8 screws per hinge A Billabong salesman showed me this. If you google swagman forum, they will point you in the right direction. Just remember like aircraft, everything is built to a price point. As mentioned above ELITE build Imo great vans here in oz. But they cost a ship load.
-
Try and pick a van with a good name. The resale value is worth it. Australians make great vans but the companies vary. If you pick up a van with cruise master suspension , great. This is only my opinion, I have been researching caravans and camper trailers for a couple of years.
-
You sound like my missus. There is no argument that stands up to your post. Its like the difference to hiring an aircraft to buying one.
-
My parents have a Jayco Nev. They are fine as long as the owners realise that you get what you pay for. They went from a Coromal van. I can tell the difference in quality. They own a Nissan Patrol petrol on gas, a great towing vehicle ( but not as good as my TD42T Patrol) . They leave SE QLD and head to the Townsville area for 6 months of the year to escape the QLD weather lol. But each to their own. The Jayco is a foot shorter than their previous Coromal van but heaps lighter. There is nothing wrong with Jayco for the price. If I was buying a van, I would buy an Elite but they are expensive.
-
If you buy a Jayco, just remember that they changed their off road vans name to the outback range . Why do you ask ? Because they will not warrant any claims for vans taken off the bitumen. They fall the bits. Caravanning forums are full of threads on the subject.
-
One thing to remember is that the max towing weight reduces considerably when the vehicle pay load is increased. The advertise max 3500 kg towing weight in most double cab utes is only available when the vehicle is virtually unladen. Something to keep in mind.
-
Yup they are great for kids.
-
The 110 is gutless but the Disco with its V6 Diesel is powerful. If you have plenty if coin, by a V8 diesel cruiser, I carry a load and tow heavy trailers at work with one. It is a great towing vehicle.

Unfortunately he broke his pelvis and it took approx 10 minutes to get him into the vet and have him put to sleep. The vet is only 1.5 kays from home.
