You are right Dave, This is crazy. All of the other crap they are doing is kind of overshadowing this so it is not getting much attention unfortunately. I am not sure how this impacts you guys over there on the east coast, but here in the west, they have put these parks right on top of some of...

Cant say i have any pictures, but i could get you some pictures of my installed bar. Do you have the instructions that OAA supply? I found them "ok" Spain or Thai build? There is some stuff included that you only need on spain build (pretty sure it is those brackets in your picture)

i had the same with mine.. was a heap of sand in there from previous owner being slack i think.. tried most of the above (except the box trailer, did try the 2 ton boat with the brakes on.. just pulled the boat) ended up with a tree trunk protector + tree + lots of towels wrapped around it +...

We (WA) don't have stickers for anything any more (boat trailer, box trailer) however we still get a sticker for the actual boat registration. I think the only thing that gets stickers over here now are heavy vehicles

we have not had stickers over here in the West for some time... maybe a year or 2? In the beginning it was a pain for a lot of people, but in reality if you cant remember to pay your rego, then who's fault is it really. If you really struggle... get one of these...

Charging the battery will not eliminate it as a problem, even after a charge a dead battery might not start the motor. The only way to eliminate the battery is to either jump start it, or put a known good (new or otherwise) battery into the car.

does it jump start?

Tried in Neutral rather than Park? (with the handbrake on) I assume it is 2 switches, one of which has to be on (I could be wrong.. might only be one switch) Obviously there are other things it could be, starter solenoid, starter motor it self, ground straps.. and I am sure other things. Could...

Have to ask the stupid question... and I mean no offence by this... but is it in Park or Neutral? If it is, check the switches? B

check this out: http://www.projecta.com.au/Images/PDFs/Battery-Terminals/Battery-Terminals_2011.pdf they have a terminal that should be able to replace the factory one, check out the BT950-P1 on page 131. you should be able to buy the correct rating fuses to match the factory ones.

I obviously dont have a petrol, but I am a big fan of Penrite stuff, so I give that a vote :)

I know the one you mean.. it is part of the battery terminal. Personally I would be replacing the battery terminal (and all the fuses) with an after-market one. This is on my to do list (eventually)

According to Century, my D40 needs a 660CCA battery.. The factory one that i still have in my 08 does not specifically show a CCA rating, but safe to say it is equal to or greater than 660. they dont list a D22... *insert pun about D22 inferiority here*

+1 where are the pics?
