Maybe someone can help - my agnostic, dyslexic, insomniac mate rang me at 3 o'clock this morning and asked - Is there a DOG ?

All sides of politics are going down the renewables track, I have no quarrel with this if we have the ability to mix it with coal/hydro/nuclear power because as we are learning quickly when the wind don't blow and the sun don't shine we are in the Shit.

I walked into the house the other day and my dyslexic mate was just finishing putting boot polish on his member.

I too do not have a problem moving towards renewable energy, but it doesn't many brains to know that when the wind is not blowing, the sun not shining power can not be produced.
We need base load power, and renewable's atm can not give this.

You dont remove an annual net output of 12,000 GWh (43,000 TJ) (Hazlewood) and have nothing to replace it with and not expect disaster.

For the crew driving a 17-18 200 series
How often does it do a DPF burn?
As a mate has one that got a scotts rods exhaust system and
Re-mapping done and hasn't seen any lights advising of a burn occurring!
Thanks in advance

I reckon mine does it daily at the moment. At least every 70km's I Reckon.

Do landrovers do this - I regularly see every while a small puff of black smoke come out the back of these Shitheaps when they are holding up traffic on cruise control... often wondered what it could be.

Random questions for the sparkies

Can you put dimmer switches on LED house lights

Find the power consumption great but the brilliant white light a little harsh

For reference. I did 450km to the goldcoast and back yesterday and it did it 4 time and was ready to go again when I stopped in the driveway at home. Not sure whether plodding down the highway at 100km/h reduces DP.

I have just been going through this. Clipspal universal dimmer should dim them ok.

bruce93 · « **Reply #216 on:** August 13, 2018, 07:47:33 PM »

Any Universal dimmer should work.

Depends if they're dimmable LED lights.

Fizzie · « **Reply #218 on:** August 14, 2018, 07:12:49 AM »

On the subject of dimmable LEDs...

When you've got them dimmed, are you actually saving any power, or are they still using the same amount

Question for the truckies out there ...

People a couple of doors down usually have their son drop in one weekend a month, driving his prime mover, which he parks out in the gutter! (without trailer attached, I hasten to add!

)

He's there this weekend, & this morning, I noticed his trailers parked in an industrial area a few k away from home.

Question - are trailers "locked" in any way

I don't mean the doors, I mean is there anything stopping somebody with another prime mover just backing up to them, hooking them up & driving away

Gazza00 · « **Reply #223 on:** September 02, 2018, 03:10:03 PM »

There are Tralier King Pin locks available to keep the honest thief's away

Fizzie · « **Reply #224 on:** September 02, 2018, 03:13:32 PM »

Thanks Gaz, but just to clarify, these are B-Double trailers we're talking about!
