Here is a recent upgrade we did for a customer who already had a dual battery system fitted to their Ford Ranger.
We installed the following
• Voltech 200 watt solar panel
• 100ah Remco LiFePO4 Lithium battery
• Cel-Fi GO phone booster and GME Knock-down mount.

-The Voltech 200w solar panel are a really neat unit as they are very close to being square so fit wonderfully on a canopy roof and have plenty of output to keep your beers icy cold ❄🍻.
For this install we also added an Anderson connector and quick release mounts so the customer can easily remove the panel and either use it for a remote system on his caravan or park the vehicle in the shade and have the solar panel in the sun getting all them rays 🌞

-The current system was equipped with an Intervolt DCC Pro DC-DC charger which we were able to program to suit the lithium charge profile.

Heavy Equipment Air conditioning.

This Franna mobile crane was a hotbox with no Aircon. 🥵
We tested the system and found the refrigerant levels were low and traced it to a leaking compressor.
Upon removal of the compressor it was also found that an idler bearing had collapsed and radiator hose had all but rubbed through.

AC compressor replaced and full system serviced. Radiator hose replaced and reinstalled and idler bearings all replaced.
Tested system full system with air conditioning now icy cold! ❄

Tailored Auto. For all you Auto Electrical and Mechanical repairs done at once

Call us today to get you Aircon sorted before this wet season gets even stickier!

ENGINEGUARD.

Did you know the temperature gauge in your vehicle is ineffective if the water level drops below the temperature sensor level?

Let me explain as simply as possible.
The factory temperature gauge in vehicles works by a sensor sitting in the coolant of your engine, now if for some reason your vehicle develops a coolant leak say from a stick, animal, rock etc entering your radiator or breaking a hose, the water level drops below the sensor and it now has nothing but air to measure the temperature of rendering it useless.
Now picture you're driving down the highway with not a clue in the world that your vehicle is about to cost you more than your annual holiday to the beach in towing and repairs...

This is where we can help. "Engineguard" is an overheating engine alarm which unlike your standard temp gauge it senses the temperature of the surface of a material such as cylinder or engine block, meaning it will work no matter how much coolant you have left in the engine.

Prices start from $259 installed with several different model options available.
Cheap insurance really compared to the alternative of forfeiting that amazing cocktail in the sand you've dreamt of all year..

There's also options for low oil pressure warning, low voltage warning and we can even hook up a shut-down system for standalone generators or unmanned equipment should there be a fault occur.

Is your 70 series Landcruiser airconditioning struggling to get cold? Or do you find the fan on speed 4 with limited airflow. No doubt the evaporator looks like this or much worse.

Due to not having a factory cabin filter, it's a very common problem with all 70 series to get blocked evaporators as well as leaking refrigerant.

Book in today for an AC inspection and service and we can even install an aftermarket cabin filter to reduce the amount of dust getting in to the evaporator before it's to late.
This one however was to late and needed replacement due to leaking and a thermistor fault.

Give us a call or send a message through.

This Jayco Motorhome fridge would not run on 12v.
Turns out the fuse and relay holder had practically caught fire due to an ill fitting relay terminal.
Rewired the fuse/relay box.

Brand new Jayco caravan which originally had 1x 100ah Lithium but no form of charging whilst driving, seems like a waste of power to us.
We went ahead and installed the following
•2x Remco 130ah Lithium
•Redarc BCDC1250D
•50amp Anderson plug to replace 12 pin
Upgraded all wiring throughout as the original is way underrated to even support what comes standard.
With solar on the roof being controlled through the Projecta PM MPPT system.

Now the customer is ready to go off grid for as long as they like.

Give us a call today to organise a custom power system for your caravan, car, boat, 4wd truck or anything else in between.

Did you know we do Automotive Air conditioning repairs.
Like this Ford Ranger which was not getting cold, turns out the pressure line from the condenser had broken off from all the adventuring and vibrations this customer was enjoying.
All replaced and back to having 2° vent temps ❄

Give us a call today for your AC servicing or to see if we can get it back up and running like new again.
