Probably pioneers of e-mining. Wonder how much lead and assorted metals were in those, used to weigh a fair bit. :P

What brand/ model uhf is it nucopia? I have a Uniden UH7760NB myself, might be able to help with troubleshooting if its a uniden... Only a few luxury and safety items differ between the gxl and vx, passenger airbag, trim, climate control etc. Most of which is obsolete stuff, like the cd stacker...

Lol even better a fellow prado owner!! I have a green and silver 97 vx grande. Good to hear the uhf is up and running. Is there an ariel stub mounted somewhere? Could be worth checking that the cable isnt frayed or loose.

I feel your pain nucopia, as im sure does anyone whos done their own vehicle mods! Great start with the repair manual, at least now you can get in and identify the original wires by colour (there's a colour chart on the schematics) and pull the extra wiring out. Best to start at the battery...

Tathradj you should enter that in the Find of the month comp! What a find too! Goodluck with the sample crushing, sounds like the quartz may give you some grief but from experience decomposed granite isnt all that bad, ive come across samples so soft you can soak them for a day and crush them...

Gday Seldomsean, interesting collection of riverstone youve got there! I come across similar stones up here in Nth Qld, mostly they are just tumbled rusty quartz but every so often theres a similar one to your larger creamy piece. Usually ten to fifty cent size pieces with a dull sort of luster...

Gday Goldchaser, welcome to cairns. Good to see a new member taking up prospecting, yes we were meeting on a monthly basis up until the end of last year when everything went awry as has been explained. Ive been thinking myself that we need to schedule another catchup but as yet I havnt been...

Sorry to hear youve been unwell rick, good though that theres no other issues with the old thumper. Take it easy, listen to the quacks even though its not always easy they know how to get you well the quickest. Maybe your forced time off will yeild some new plans for your next trip to the...

Why not simply pickup a second power steering pump from the wreckers and mount it in the engine bay? Unless your really pushed for space that would prevent any possible damage to your vehicles steering. It would require you to replace the drive belt with a slightly larger one to accommodate the...

You can actually ignore unmarked police cars legally if you suspect theyre fakes. Just keep driving and call the nearest police station, tell them you think youre being pursued by people posing a police, give them the vehicles rego and drive direct to the front door of the station. Police in...

Probably looks that way because he just got a target and now he has to unstrap it to dig! As for low, attach underneath your horse and invent a headphone extension cord.

I use a single cylinder pump from repco, cost about $100 a couple of years ago. Will reflate all four of the muddies on my 4x4 from 19psi - deep mud pressure no worries. Gets mighty hot but hasnt ever hit the thermal cutout. Even used it once to reflate multiple trucks, I think 3 consecutively...

Is it single or double sided? Could be part of a box or cabinet that had silver inlays? Stumped on this one, maybe an old timer was a budding hypnotist?

:lol: :lol: :lol: love the one guy trying to punch an entire snowdrift. Had to flinch at the guy that landed on the pool, only ice I like is in my drink!

Gday limpalot, ive got a 35lt waeco myself which has been great. Cools and freezes quick without drawing heaps of power, light enough to lift easily even when full. Easy to clean as well. Got mine a couple of years ago for just under 500. Longest straight time running has been 8 days with no...

Gday len, well done on the fact finding mission so far. A thought occurred when reading your petition draft, since a petition is a good show of support for a particular issue it should get attention from your MP. Would it also be worth raising the matter with the state premier as well? Since...

Probably getting gift cards and hopefully a camelback so I can stop lugging water bottles everywhere with me.

Gday bowerbird, there's quartz all over the place up here unfortunately finding some nice specimens isnt easy. Send me a pm when you get to 10 posts and ill send you a few areas you could try. Although I think the rain may make things tough. TGW

Hi Bacchus, yes you can still get the 134a refrigerant, its widely used in cheaper commercial fridges. From memory its the older R404a which is not available in australia anymore. The upside down trick may work, what you need to do is flip the fridge ove for 24hra while its switched off. This...

Donating to charity, theres a quote from Steve Hughes here that I like "giving money to to charities doesnt make you morally superior it just makes you gulllable and conformist". Needless to say I dont donate to charities unless I can see where that moneys going and theres precious few of those...
