Truck was parked up for 3 weeks recently. Aux battery was sitting fine at 12.6v but the main battery was showing a steady 11.8v before I cranked it ( the main is 5 year old from new). The truck still turns over every day no problem. I'm just wondering how it can turn over with so little state...

I want to get the Ctek to maximise the amps available from my pissy 55amp aux battery and also hook up the solar to it but I'm not sure if I keep the Redarc SBi12 voltage sensitive relay or does the ctek replace it completely. Been searching for ages but still not sure. Any info apreciated. Ta

Stupid idiot I know but it seems to happen a lot. Black Vortex Premium nozzle next to black Vortex diesel while the wife's yakking at me through the window. I put 60 litres of petrol into an empty tank before realising. Feck! Luckily I didn't start the engine and RACQ towed me home. Any...

The Jb Hifi tech installed my Pioneer 7" DVD unit and reverse cam last week. He said that to get a permanent supply to the camera he wired it from the back of the cigarette socket. The cam comes on as soon as I hit reverse but the Pioneer unit gives me the option of checking the camera view at...

G'day! Just moved to Berwick, Melbourne from Brissy. Don't need the ute for work anymore. Have been thinking of ways to get some sort of canvas cover over the trays and toolboxes and now a blue styleside tub has come up on ebay. Oh what to do. How hard is it to remove a tray and fit the...
