    It wasn't lack of power it was my 5yr old helper... next time I'll get her to work the pedals and I'll say what's working and what's not. My wife fixed it in 2 seconds.

    nothing worse when all the wires pull out of the trailer plug i were wheeling my trailer back the other day and stepped on the plug so i had to hook it up again makes it easier when the plug has numbers on it but when it doesnt it can be a pain i had to use a mirror to see if the lights were working cause the misses was at work lol

    Here's the trailer wiring guide I have in my glove box, it's based on a 7 pin round but I assume they're mostly the same???

    1 Left Indicator Yellow
    2 Auxiliary or reversing signal Black
    3 Earth White
    4 Right Indicator Green
    5 Electric Brakes Blue
    6 Stop Light Red
    7 Tail Light, Number plate & clearance Brown

    Cheers hope that can save someone some time.

    hey that's tough but i have to ask why did you have the blower,hedgetrimmer and chainsaw in the beer fridge
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    To keep them cool, why else?

    Sorry to hear about the theft Kevtan, get a dog, a grumpy stumpy tailed cattle dog should do the trick and not too expensive to feed.

    Bodgey irrigation systems make me grumpy!
    Turn the system on and there's a leaking pipe. Repair the leak, turn it back on, and there is another leak 2 metres further down the pipe. This has happened 3 times on this job and the leaks are underneath some weedmat below some overgrown shrubby Roses and other plants. All the sprinklers in the garden are bodgey micro sprays that I don't carry so have to make a special trip to my supplier just to get some. I also found two leaks in the pipes for the lawn sprinklers which were buried about 2cm under the turf. Nice!

    Good thread this one, nothing like getting it off your chest.

    The fkn' cost of living makes me grumpy! I've also got a fkn' slow leak in one of my tyres and can't find a fkn' hole, and when I went to take it off the fkn' standard tool doesn't fit into my mags (lucky I haven't had a flat in last two years would of been stuck, there's a positive.) When I got it off I still can't find a hole so it's going to be off to someone who will charge me for it. Not to mention it's due for a service and needs a rear wheel alignment. When does it ever stop? Feel better now.
