I am guessing that by you replying, you made it back with the EB OK, hope there weren't any dramas on the way. That's a bit scary to read about the ute too, bet you're glad nothing happened either up or down from Newie today!!!
Cheers RD

Scary s**t to find!
Its amazing the amount of times you find something that could be a major f**k waiting to happen and you always find it after you have been travelling at 100km plus for a period of time!
