I have one of these set up apart from mounting. Got it working yesterday and after resetting the tanks to zero I can't get it to show liters per minute. It does not come up with the previous default setting after rebooting the 12v power. It shows a spanner and sounds an alarm. The "Chinglish" instruction...

Evening all, I'm looking to install a 12v pump for filling duties in the sink. Currently the van has a manual pump and a separate tap for town hook up. Cold only. About the only thing I use the water for is washing dishes etc, but I can tell you the manual pump is getting old pretty darn quickly. I would like t...

Is anybody towing with Hyundai Tucson Diesel? Have they had additional tranmission cooler fitted and is it necessary? Planning to tow an Avan Cruiseliner. I've searched for specific information and can't seem to see it anywhere.

One for the experts. My van is fitted with Kumo LT 195R / 14c and my spare is LT 185R / 14c. Any drama with the different size if I need to use the spare Thanks Hendo

Howdy all, Just wondering where you run the coax cable through the fire wall of the current model Colorado Crew Cab Ute. I need to bring it in from behind the glove box (passenger) side as the cable is not long enough to trace around to driver side then under dash to passenger side where the actual radio wi...

HI all, today I tackled a water tank swap from 59 to 82L. I stuck with the camec brand which was already there because whilst the 80 was longer, it is the same height and width which meant I could use the same mounting brackets already fitted to the van. I'm guessing the 59 was original and it was a tight fit...

Yesterday we were going to fire up our backyard BBQ but when we turned the gas on at the bottle we noticed a massive gas leak at the regulator. A constant jet of gas was leaking out of a hole in the regulator. At first we thought that it was a puncture hole but then realized that it was supposed to be there. We f...

I am wanting to have the aircon wired via a switch that I can reach from my van recliner. It appears that the aircon is wired directly to the AC power. I think the van AC is a plug and play system with CMS components. Suggestions please. Aussie Paul.

Having recently purchased new hearing aids, I also purchased a, what they call an "EasyTek", it has a "T" coil which loops around my neck. This Easytek communicates with the hearing aids, and has various inputs, one of which is Bluetooth. With the Easytek comes a Bluetooth transmitter which I can use...

Gday... This article would be food for thought to many beginning to decide on a tow vehicle and the van they are considering towing.
