Many thanks to STDdiver Frank, I had a dry electrical joint in the ignition system, and I needed to buy some wire n bits I had no idea where to get them in Corowa, Frank came along on Wednesday evening after seeing the tell tale bright green strap that held the spare wheel in place, he asked how did the L/R handle it I mentioned that I had this gremlin, "no problems" says he (Frank) see me in the morning and we will hot wire it, I knew what I needed but Frank had a little bit of sophistication to the job with a fancy clip that broke the circuit, 112-655 made it home with no bother other than the driver getting burnt (sun/wind burnt) on Sunday, we were driving through the area where the dust storms were, I arrived home this morning around 1050hrs, many thanks to Frank for his services, rain is forecast here for the next few days but after the weather settles down I will find the cause and fix it, cheers Dennis
