Use a scissors jack - easy to get into restricted places, easy to operate - especially the one I have now -...

I've got five of the 48V 100Ah SHOTO batteries on two systems - three on one system and two on the other system.
I've had them for ±18 months and they've performed fine.
Paid ±R20 000 each...

Reconditioned?

This compliments my observations as well.

I had a 2007 Ft D4d from new.
Always, ±1 500km after an oil change the oil was decidedly black.
I owned the vehicle for 14 years and never added any...

? Interesting comments.
Please elaborate.

This indicates that the cable cores are 0.75mm2.
0.75mm2 has a rating of ±6 amps.
Should be able to power a device of ±72W @ 12V or ±1320W @ 220V.

So, just like battery booster cables, how do you tell the difference?
Is there a rating embossed on the cable sheath?

Yup - thanks.

Not relevant I know, but phew - memories!
My first 4x4 was a Land Rover Series 2A that I bought from Standard Bank in 1972. It was fitted as an CIT vehicle.

Correct - the dam was not sprayed.

We have two Nikon Monarch's - they are both excellent.
We've had the 8x42 for 10 years and the 10x42 for 8 years.

Both are used (almost) daily and are often on field trips.
The only problem that...

Good way to go.
Canon SX70 is ~R10k - great images with amazing zoom.

That's the exact answer.
Don't underestimate a small generator to provide big savings at relatively low cost.
I've been doing that for some time - it really works.

Thanks for the information - appreciated.

Urgent advice please.

I'm looking for a pet-friendly stopover between Colesberg and Beaufort West.
For us, Colesberg is just not far enough for a day's travel, and Beaufort West is just too far....

My Fortuner wheels are the same as my Sprite Tourer wheels.
Check your combo.

......... got a winch?

I'm 100% Blue - have for many years - simply do not have hassles.
Being part Dutch helps ;D

Mmmmm .... be very careful what you publish.
Where do you live? Where do you keep those?

Unfortunately the old postal route is no more.

Whilst birding I lugged an SLR camera with a long, heavy lens until I realised there had to be a better way.
I then bought the Canon SX70.

Very handsome looks and feels super luxurious.

Agreed with the nudge bar as well.

On a smooth unpaved surface:
