makes sense in the circumstances :)
The LRCV is getting closer to completion. Got some more work done on the weekend.
Still a couple of mech jobs and a load of electrical accessories install before Corowa in March.
A month has gone since that post. A lot got done in time for Corowa Swim-In, but some did remain on the to do list. Eg, cabling the winch, wiring extra driving lights, water pump.
I haven't got photos yet, but we are camped with a 240v supply and the new Engel is on. We've showered and gone up to the Maggiolina loft, on top of bedding as its a warm but breezy night, yellowish full moon, with 4G dongle and Galaxy S2 pads.
V nice. Missed getting some Port for a pre-bed drink "due to a whole lot of poor planning". But other than that... brilliant so far. Pics in a day or two.
Drove from Corowa to Adelaide with no clutch
Giving it some luv before the run to Melrose and whilst adjusting the rear wheel bearings found with the rear left one it had a rumble.
Turned out to be badly worn/scored, but luckily the local Bearing Service had the seals and bearings in stock.
Cheers, Mick.
I just bared the wires back from my civi plug and poked then into the Nato plug.
Works a treat.
Cheers, Mick.
Run a spanner over all drive shaft/uni joint bolts and also the drive member bolts on the hubs before you set off.Quote:

Drive hub bolts as well
Not today, but last Monday we travelled home from Melrose and along the way the alternator light was coming on intermittently, sometimes for a minute or two,
and other times for up to an hour. It was at full glow, not dull.
The whole time it was on the voltmeter was still reading up around 14 volts, so the alternator was obviously still putting out charge.
Anyone had this happen, any ideas what the issue is?
I won't pull the alternator out until after ANZAC Day.
Cheers, Mick.
