Hi, I posted a question a short time ago about tyres for my 2020 D Max. Thanks all for your replies. I now have another question. My tyre size on the D max at present is 255-65R17. On getting prices on that size the tyres are a lot dearer. Most Tyre places say that it is best to go for a tyre size of 265-65R17 as t...

When contemplating your meat purchases at Aldi and it is labelled jindarra Station - sounds good and very australian? Well there is no such place -it's just a trading name! Tricky? Google Jindarra Station and read the links about Aldi's horsemeat scandal.

Looking to purchase a 2010 Jugens Lunagazer J2401, and wondering how other Jurgans owners get on for spares & servicing since Jurgens closed permanently in Australia. Also what is your opinion of this van. I dont plan going off road, but want to be able to do the odd gravel road.

G'day all, is there a replacement option for the heron 2.2 I believe that they are not available anymore. I do not want a rooftop or a underbed ducted type, would much prefer to just replace in the original spot it is in.
