I haven't used it full of "food" (code word for beer) yet. I reckon it wont make any difference just smoother. It still has a dodgy locking pin set up though.

I got a email regarding pricing for the solar screens(see below), reckon I will just get the Cargo Set for now.

I have always had a dilemma with the Foxwing as to where to put the poles. Sometimes I leave them in the camper sometimes tied to the roof. Alot of the times I just forget them and leave them at home.

Well when packing it up one day I looked at how the poles a held in place and wondered if I could get 2 of the clip in things with the rubber strap to hold the poles secure. So rang Oztents spare parts and the deal was done, 2 thingimy whatsits on there way.

All i did was pop rivit them to the cargo barrier and now I'll never leave my poles at home again



Regards Adam

Great idea Adam, Mine are on their way as well
Cheers

Well the latest Mod the be done to the car is due to terminal engine failure @ 100,000km on the way out of the Bungle Bungles. A new long motor and turbo all being paid for by my Toyota Extended Factory New Car Warranty. The best $1800 I have ever spent.

Shiz Man not the best time for a repower I wouldn't think.
What was the cause for the catastrophic failure.

Even with my limited mechanical knowledge, 'terminal engine failure' sounds pretty bad...

Hope it all works out for you ondaboat and you are back adventuring soon!

Will call you in the morning Troy

It's not all that bad. I have thought that I have had a problem for a while now and although I have had it checked out a few times with "cold start snap shots" as one would expect the answer was that "all injectors are in spec". Well at least it happened within the Extended Warranty period. My only cost will be the 76 series hire car for $200 a day for the month so we could keep on our Kimberly's trip.

Sorry to hear that mate, Jeez with a 120 Diesels now, it like playing Russan Roulette with a revolver against your head listening for any unsual engine sounds....

It could have been worse. Could have happend after November when the extended warranty runs out.

Gidday Adam, It was really great to catch up with you at Sawtooth Gorge. I'm really sorry to hear about your engine. Even with the warranty it must be a considerable inconvenience not to mention expense. Where is the car going to be repaired and how long do you think it will take? I hope that all goes well for you.

Regards
Neil

It was great catching up with a fellow PPer on the track. Also saw Brett & Brooke (thswyup) at Mount Elizabeth Station.
The car is being fixed at Kununurra. Were currently in Broome soon to fly up to Horizontal Falls, then the treck back home begins. Will go home on the black top via Kunurra to get thr car then Katherine to Adelaide. Will have to take the first 1000km slow to run in the new long motor, quick oil change then keep going.
So how did the CSR go?

Regards Adam

[sleeky5 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close sleeky5]

Great to hear that it's all being replaced. The CSR was fantastic, if not a bit wet at times. You need to convince your wife to give it a go sometime. It was really an eye opener with some really stunning scenery and lots of lovely sandhills.

The car went really well with just one flat and I had to replace the auxiliary battery at Kunawaritji because it wouldn't hold charge. The sand hills posed no real problems even with the trailer in tow. Unfortunately my brothers Jackaroo didn't fare so well with the aftermarket sub tank falling out on the track, the rear diff cracking and the roof rack collapsing. We managed our way through the problems and it limped home to be retired now. I think I have convinced him to go for Prado next time.

Anyway I hope that all goes well with your repairs.

Regards
Neil
