Posted 22/05/05 11:38 PM Author Share Posted 22/05/05 11:38 PM Hey, thanks CHIPS and sixfan. Would be great to catch up with you sixfan in Hayes Ck when I pass through! Can you buy premium ULP there? Pass along your mobile number or landline sometime and I'll give you a call when my trip to Katherine is on. How's the Telstra mobile reception in your area? My number is 0417-806953. BTW, the Darwin Ford dealer uses 10W30 oil in the services which I thought would be light for the heat in NT, especially with our open limits. What do you use? I also had a "307" factory fix-up done recently on the steering (?). They were not too explicit about exactly what that was. Apparently not life-threatening though!Don't think I will get to Geelong in the near future CHIPS. Last time was about 20 years ago to see a motorcycle dealer named Lyall O'Brien. Probably is not there anymore?I just use the Ford recommened oil but do changes every 5000 k's. One thing to watch is the brake fluid, they only use dot 4 and I've boiled mine I had it changed to dot5 and no more problems. I'll PM you my comtact detail and we can try and get in touch with QTRmile and NT turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day, my work number is 89782371(and I'm almost always there....) Mobiles are stuffed out here so that doesn't work. Conversly you can just stop at Hayes Creek and ask the people at the pub to call "Pete the Geo" on the radio....Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car sits nicely at that speed and the more I drive this car, the more I like it!What really surprised me was when I was sitting on about 180, a bog standard Toyota Camry came up behind me and whizzed past. I noticed that the car had a govt symbol on the door. Ha, a public servant in a real hurry. More guts than me to do that kind of speed in a stock Camry with standard tyres. Would be great to get a few people together one day in the NT. Will catch up another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
