  1. Battery and cartomizer for me. Haven't tried building my own yet
  2. Falling Skies went the way of Revolution for me, but not as quick Found myself less and less tempted to watch each new episode to the point I stopped even clicking on the link - didn't even make it through whatever season I was watching of either Dominion - crap Last ship - maybe good for having on in the background. Depends if they go story or action - the obvious hidden operative/spy at the end of the first episode pretty much ruined any chances of that happening though. Seems to me like they decided to follow on the success of the Battleship movie (crap) and make another game movie - this time on the IOS game Plaque Inc Crossbones - will watch the next episode - am tipping it will be my last. Just finished Fargo - had me engrossed the whole way through, but it's one of those shows that once it's over you come away feeling no different to how you went going in. Tossing up whether to watch the first episode of the new season of Under the Dome - think I remember the first season being good for an episode or 2 then not much else. I know this is meant to be "Off the Radar TV Shows" - need some more hints/pointers to things to enjoy
  3. I blame the extra weight I'm running (from the LPG tank of course)
  4. 440 1wd beats 300 awd Hasn't said what he's replacing it with?
  5. Lol - nah - we've both gone different routes with what we want and how we get there Just chucking out some burlee to let me reel Don in
  6. Yeah - am dropping it of there monday for a look-see If I slip him an extra $20 you reckon he'd be able to nudge it a bit over BenDoCo's tune while it's in the shop?
  7. Original battery - March 2013 I bought the car new (2012 manufactured) Will try turning off everything and see if that makes a difference. Has only just started doing it in the last couple of weeks - was getting worse, but seems to have levelled off now.
  8. Yeah - is a pain - seems hit and miss/random too which makes diagnosing it or working out a pattern a nightmare. Coldest morning it starts and runs fine Warm afternoon it jerks and stutters.
  9. Something not quite happy with the car at the moment. Occasionally (every 3rd or 4th startup) it'll stutter and hesitate (stall if I don't catch it) for the first couple of kms (on gas and petrol) Other times once warm every 5-10 seconds when idling it'll have a huge hiccup, drop revs (almost stall) then go back to normal Pulled codes with the XCal - P0330 - knock sensor bank 2 was the only fault Time for some diagnostics I think :(
  10. WPMO - just realising that it's only Weds and not Thurs No wonder the kid looked at me funny when I said there was only today and tomorrow left of school before the holidays when I sent him off this morning. Will be his turn to be pissed off tonight when I tell him it was my miscalculation of the days and not my acceptance of his request to have Friday off "coz they never do anything important on the last day before holidays"
  11. You've got a missus Az and complaining there's nothing to do when the power's out? Expect an influx of new babies in 9 months time
  12. Fark - all ok? Looks pretty new too. Was that tree protected by council from being removed? Was looking at a block a while ago - was a few large gums on it that we would have been fined (heavily) if we gave the chop - would have been an accident waiting to happen if we'd built there - friggin greenies
  13. Annnddd.....lights are flickering. Phones transferred to my mobile just in case
  14. Or using remote/terminal sessions
  15. Friggin howling down today One of those days where you know the power is going to go out at some stage - usually in the middle of something that's important and unsaved.
  16. In better news (probably old news though) - only found out tonight Trailer Park Boys is getting a 8th and 9th season Happiest I've been since the time Futurama was given another season.
  17. Well I made it through the 3 episodes (that are out) - will probably keep watching but will let it slide if there's other shows to watch coming out of the series changeovers Pilot of The Last Ship may have a few episodes of legs in it - another take on the pandemic takes out the rest of the world thing, but being on the boat may give them some chance for new plots. Not sure if Michael Bay as EP is a plus or a minus though.
  18. Was he involved on the ferris wheel in Melbourne?
  19. Just started watching Crossbones - decent cast will see how the show holds up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDk3l_P1Gx8

    Looking At Options

    Looking into it a bit further - they may be required when getting whatever your version is of a RWC/certifications etc but they don't have the same penalties as we do for not running one - $10k plus fine over here - debateable whether or not a cop would/could cause you an issue over there (post 1998 vehicles I think)
  22. It will fit no problems. May need a scoop on the bonnet to fit the ring for the venturi gas ring etc, but shouldn't be an issue. As per your first question - "What should I do the to engine prior to fitting" My answer is - lube it up and make sure it fits where the sun doesn't shine I don't have any idea of what weight oil you should use for that (no prior experience), but I'm sure that by trial and error you'll find a blend that is just right. If you've done it enough before then you can switch to full synthetic, but most people wait for about the third oil change to make sure the rings are bedded in - am sure by now your ring is well worn so it shouldn't be an issue. Pics though - the forum loves pics Last issue you could face is the diff bushes - no matter what car you put the donk in - make sure u check out the bush
