I love those old fillums & the commentary, the Wilkes lads certainly didn't realise what a winner they were on.
Thanks Paul,( or is it Brian this week?)
Had a good laugh at the comment about the outback being no place for finicky vehicles,or those that demand complicated maintenance.[bigrolf]Quote:

The change seems to have happened as long ago as the 1960s. I have two Series 2a Owner's manuals. First one is dated 1962, and has 124 pages, including a foldout maintenance schedule and a diagram of exactly where all the maintenance points are, and detailed maintenance instructions.
The 1970 version has 44 pages, including a four page 'Service Guide' - which spends four pages explaining in detail why all maintenance should be carried out by the dealer. It also has seven introductory pages (title pages contents etc) before any content, compared to three pages in the earlier one.
Just caught the end of Building The Snowy doco series on SBS Wednesday night.
It's showing the building of original Snowy Scheme and Snowy 2.0, saw a few Series I's.

I understood it was an 8 part Series.
Yes, it was the end of the first part I saw on Wednesday night. I'll catch up online.Quote:
