    My Etag only occasionally fails to beep, but usually I notice the license plate matching fees on the next statement. When this happens I ring Flow and they always just wipe any matching fees off the bill. Last time this happened and the guy saw our tag was failing to read about 1 in every 10 toll points and he said it was "a good one".

    Cant say my tag has ever failed to read in the Defender, it is class 2 i belive.

    i ahve my motorbike on the same acount with no tag, and i am not charged any numberplate matching fee for it either, aparently you can add aditional vehicles to your tagged acount, without tags and not incur the matching fee if you ask about it on the phone. I will be doing the same thing with my Trailer. . . that said i have gone through the airport link, over the gateway and through the Clem7 with a hire trailer on, and with my parents trailer on. . toll always goes to my defender?

    My tag is behind the rear view mirror

    Having lived in PNG since 98 i don't really understand this Etag business. The Passet has none, we use a Toll Rd about once every 3 months, somewhere in the Country, (Qld,NSW,Vic), they take some money and we all seem fairly happy with the arrangement.
    Do you pay less with an E tag? Is it worth it for rare usage.
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Finally got QLD Motorways to admit their tag does not work on my Defender on the Gateway or Logan motorways, but does work on the tunnels etc. I tried two different tags, installed it exactly as per their requirements for each tag ( with photos and a lot of discussion, phone calls etc to make sure it was right etc) and it still did not work.

    I just got an email saying I have a permanent exemption for the "Video Service Fee" ( on the QLD motorways toll roads) Taken me about 18 months to get this sorted - I had a thread about it a while ago.
