There were earlier makers and their plastic discs were approved by the CMCA. The current ones on the market are OK to use- but the drawback is the the length of the boss (the centre piece with the hole) It protrudes too far which makes it difficult to pick up 3 or 4 discs in one hand at the end of each head. Bad...

One morning an elderly couple with a huge van pulled in next to the tank. Started filling their tank until the pump cu...

I'm trying to establish optimum tyre pressures for my caravan so the first thing I did was to identify its tyres: Maxtrek, Sierra S6, LT235/75 R15 10PR 116/113S This seems to decode as: Light Truck - 235 width - 75% height - Radial - 15" rim - ?? - ???

How many people out there, are going to be able to buy an electric car at approx $70k, also 5 years down the track a new battery at $8k?

It's very simple; put the petrol can (or approved plastic container) on the ground next to the petrol pump and fill it. Today I passed through Ararat in Victoria and dropped into the Safeway fuel station; as I walked back to my vehicle I noticed a lady of about 70 years filling a 25L petrol container whic...
