Ok, unless you were on an Internet-free vacation (fat chance); you have heard that eBay managed to lose all its 145 million credentials. Cybercrime works a lot like a business, and they have massive phishing campaigns all set to go for the next major data breach. Just add a logo, change one line of code...

I just replaced the 240V element in our Dometic 2350 3 way fridge and found that it was very difficult to remove and replace. The element seemed to be very tight in the chimney tube and took a great deal of wriggling back and forth, with considerable upward force, to remove it. I expected it to be a snug fit...

I am reluctantly considering changing my tow. im liking the Ranger. My biggest question is... Why do Ford state servicing at 12months or $15,000 kms, when Toyota and Mazda state 6months or 10,000kms? would it be detrimental to have longer servicing periods for a diesel Motor? Thanks, MJ

I was told by Telstra that I'd have to buy a modem at around $150, then there would be monthly costs. I wonder if there's a better way? How are others managing their internet?

Thanks to those who answered my query. I tried to buy an unlocked dongle and was told there's no such thing. There's a fee for unlocking it. I have an old 4g Telstra one, no longer with them, could I use it with the amasym[?] in it? Where do I go from here?
