You can get a very good phone for under $500-00, she wants more than that, let her pay the difference, stop being the stooge in the middle.
My current phone is a redmi 4a paid $120-00 3 years ago does everything I need/want, camera could be better, big deal

Mine is the $239 oppo
Paired up with an Aldi $25/month Sim card.  More data than I could ever use. Uses most of the Telstra network (except the more remote towers.

Does anyone remember when coppers(NSW, pther ststes may of as well), would hand out small gift vouchers from local businesses to reward Good Driving?
Around Ballina, Lismore & Byron in tbe early 80's this also sponsored by 2LM(local radio station).
Then again, it was a time when there were a heap of unmarked cars. White VH/K Commodores criusing the roads.

Yeah, would seem to be a G up, but it happened.
Reward for doing the right thing ranged from, A Family dinner at a restaurant, movie tickets, free wheel alignment & balance. 
These days we have H/way patrols cruising the highways like Great Whites.
If you can't pickem, suck Shit, they stick out like a cold sore on a whore's lip.

I need to find a 1/4" 4mm long hex socket to fit my torque wrench, I can't seem to find one anywhere, any ideas?

[VKPrado]

Have you tried any of the bicycle online stores as they seem to have the smaller sized tools for bike repairs?

I need to find a 1/4" 4mm long hex socket to fit my torque wrench, I can't seem to find one anywhere, any ideas?

Use a std 1/4" drive socket and cut a hex key to suit?

[VKPrado]

Amazon seem to have them.

A good excuse to buy more....

Next random question...

I have a new air inflator, it takes a 3/8” NPT male threaded fitting. I only have 1/4" fittings so I need to find a Nitto fitting for it, all I can find is 3/8 BSP thread.

Will this work?

This is the inflator

[VKPrado]

In short no a BSP can not fit into a NPT thread. 

With the 3/8" size you refer to there is 1 thread difference apart from the thread angles being also different.

Somewhere like Pirtek (hydraulic place) might be of assistance to even make up an adapter to go from NPT to BSP.

Am i the only one thats ended up with more Coles reusable bags that they charge you for than Coles

Nope, there's about 1,000,000 of em jammed behind the seat and in a storage hatch, in the back of the Troopy. I keep forgetting to take one into the store with me. A mixture of Coles and Aldi bags though. Actually, I think they stopped you re-using the bags in the early days of The Plague didn't they?

Now I just wheel the trolley out and pack them as I unload them into the Troopy.

I'm no expert, but personally I'd mow it so the growth energy goes into the roots, plug it so your top-dress and moisture can get down to the roots, and then top dress with an enriched top dressing (usually a sand blended with 20% chook poo).

How come a complete air suspension kit with bags, mounts, fittings, hardware and accessories cost's $800..................

And just the 2 bags as replacements for the same kit, without all the mounting bits............ costs $600
