Thread: First day on the road

well the old disco struggled today with the temps. struggled to keep it down under 105 degrees, at 105 the gauge starts going up and not nice when seeing 108. I know its still in the safe zone but its a worry when towing about 1850kg. Had to turn the aircon off as that seemed to give me about 5 degrees more. Will see if I can find someone in the barrossa to have a look tomorrow.

Sounds like the radiator needs a good clean out. My disco is doing the same thing, going into Natrad for a rodding out when I have the cash.

Slight drop in temperature forecast tomorrow (35), hope it helps. Find a cool wine cellar...

Sorry to hear Rob, yes 43 degrees ambient has got a lot to do with it I'm afraid.

Knock off 10 degrees and unhook the van and it'll be fine

I actually was wondering if you were going to park it up for today, or get an early start and rest during the middle of the day.

Sounds like it might be a good Idea, bugger driving in 43 degree heat. I am hoping it will break soon, i hate hot weather, but looks like its here till the end of the week.
