Air compressors. What are recommendations for air compressors in Aus? Engine driven or 12volt? i run a bushranger max-air for my lockers and general air including airing up....seems to do the job, 12V

see above

as for a land rover place in sydney......i would say greame coopers......

Graeme Cooper - Land Rover Expert - Home

and for the 240vac power.......you need something that will plug into one of these......

A good tip for your electricals is to bring with you a 4-way power extension / power board from the UK. Then change to power plug when you get here and you'll have x4 sockets for all you gear and only need you change 1 plug.

Do it yourself, Easy to do
Customs are very very helpfull with all this and you will not belive how easy it is to do

Thanks for your replies so far.

Have anyone got a photo/diagram of the base of a UHF aerial which they could post up please? Reason being never having seen a UHF aerial want to make sure that the aerial will not foul on light bars etc.

Or possibly point me in direction of a suitable website?

Regards

Brendan

Hi
Its no real differance to a large CB areial

Go into Maplins (if you are still in the Uk) They do them there
Also there are loads of differant types and shapes. So it is not one standard shape or size. Like CB ariels that come in 101 differant sizes and shapes. you can get Bumper mounted , roof mounted, windscrean mounted . So it up to what you want. I would stop worrying and wait till the truck lands and then go and hunt down an ariel
