Nice to see you back, are you ok, mate ?
Hey, just curious, what speeds are allowed in OZ when towing..?Here we're restricted to 70 km/h out of town and 80 on motorways.
TasmaniaThere’s more of a blanket rule in Tasmania. The maximum speed limit when towing a trailer or caravan in Tasmania is 90km per hour, regardless of trailer weight. Note that the maximum allowable speed limit on motorways and highways in Tasmania is 100km per hour.
I'm back. firstly my laptop stopped working around Roma. Might have been the waves of bitumen we experienced for around 600 kms. Terrible roads that caused the drawbar on our homebuilt van to fracture.So nice fella with no warning welded it up at Tambo. Then a few hundred kms to Cloncurry near Mt Isa and it broke, not badly enough that we couldn't limp into town. Professional welders fixed it permanently. /It just wont break now!!Hence no pics here this time.The i30 diesel has been getting 8.5-9.2 L/100km. Cruising at 95-100kph. In comparison our friends from the Sunshine coast get 13-16 L/100kms with their 3 litre Toyota coaster 2001 vintage which is also good.The starting issue previously mentioned where it is difficult to start when hot and in hot weather seems to have stopped, not entirely but mostly. I find that if I change keys it helps, and if I start it but let go of the key immediately it turns over it will start ok. don't know why.With the NT speed limit of 130 kph I've had a run along some highways at around that or a little more () and the car is stable as with its new Yokohama tyres. They are a little louder than the Michelins I had on her but I got 4 for one offer.Well that's all. In Darwin as we speak for a week. Diesel $116 here at Barkly Homestead it was $1.65
