Have you been in touch with them over this to see what they are or aren't doing to help you and can you update your post on Outerlimits as I think others should know where you are at. Hope it all gets sorted soon as the product certainly has potential and you shouldn't be left high and dry.

Yes I was calling every week or so up until the time I put my application in. At that stage I was told they were busy dealing with the air-con side of the business so I left it with him saying 'please don't forget about me, its starting to drag out too much now'.
As for OLs, I wasn't prepared to say anything there just yet as I thought that Haultech was involved somehow with ownership of the site and I didn't want to make things worse for myself just yet. Maybe thats what is needed but knowing my luck I would get pissed off and say something just as it all came good, and burning bridges when they are the only source of parts and knowledge isn't a wise move. 

I understand. Maybe it's time to give them a follow up call to see where things are at. Problem is for you that as it gets closer to Xmas most businesses get pretty busy with everybody wanting their stuff done before the holidays and you may not be a priority. Hope it gets sorted soon.

One other thing, one of the 4 solenoids on the main control unit had a leak so I sent it back to be fixed or replaced - that was 8 weeks ago...

Time for your monthly check-up.  How's it going?  It's, like, the sweet part of summer down there right now, isn't it?  Any progress?

It is summer in OZ, however in Melbourne is has only just got back to feeling like it again.  It has been so cold that we had an open fire going on Christmas day with snow in the not too distant hill's, I think it was the coldest Christmas on record!  But we certainly can't complain, we are in a major drought and have some of the worst bushfires the state has ever seen.

Anyway that is enough of a rant about the crazy weather, any news for us?

Sweet part of summer? Its too friggen hot! 

OK, so far I'm no closer to getting anything installed but I've finally decided to try and stir them into action and it looks like something will be happening soon. It might be just a case of getting a refund or maybe it will finally get done. I'll have to wait until monday now to find out where they want to go with it. I believe they might have another unit for me, but its the bureaucratic stuff that remains to be seen.
As for anyone here who was interested for themselves, basically I would say forget it.
If they ever get around to selling and supporting it properly I'll let you know but don't hold your breath.

We're up to a balmy -6C today.  The beer in my garage froze a couple days ago.  I haven't been able to wash the salt of the truck for weeks, let alone get any work done on it.

That's a bummer.  I work for a company that engineers/manufactures automotive wheel balancers and aligners.  I might have to head to the other end of the building and run this scheme by a couple of EE/ME types and see what they think, component- and programming-wise.

Wow, I've never experienced minus any degrees. It was over 40c for three day last weekend though. At least the beaches are nice.

This pic was taken in winter :

I have no idea how to respond to that. 


Is that a bullmastiff?

I have no idea how to respond to that. 

...how about we hate you...

...in a jealous of your nice climate sort of way...

Yep, hes a bullmastiff. And he hates jumping in the back of the GV, can be embarrasing helping him get in.



Don't forget there's skiing and all the other wonderful things you can do in colder climates (can't think of any just yet) 

Don't forget there's skiing and all the other wonderful things you can do in colder climates (can't think of any just yet) 

1. Maybe not burning yourself getting into your car
2. Avoiding being slow roasted once you make it inside
3. Avoiding nasty water restrictions coz we've been in a drought for 7 years or something (Southern part of Aust. anyway, the there has been flooding up north recently!!)

Then again I just took a trip down the great ocean road and got rain every day!

None of which really applies to traction control but we are just talking about the weather 

Heck with the traction control, that seems to be a dead issue at the moment.  Mods can split this out if easily enough.

I'm a smooth-coat border collie guy myself (Australian lineage, actually, and my whole reason for having the Tracker...I should post some pics of her setup in the back....water...food....tether....it's her mobile doghouse, she spends more time there than at home), but one of my best buddies has a champion bullmastiff.  Dead ringer for yours, but he's up from his trim 135 to about 140 at this point.  Helluva dog.

I like the way border collies herd things, ducks, kids, anything. Its hilarious.
And they probably don't sh*t the size of rhinos which would be nice.
My boy came from the offspring of  US and UK champions. The breeder wanted us to show him but I'm not into that whole scene, its a little freaky to me.

As for T/C, the software is the hardest thing to engineer. The guys would have spent countless hours on design and testing. I think it would be useful just to at least have some manual control over the brakes to get out of a tight spot. Just yesterday I got stuck with the wheels crossed up in the sand and the chassis wasn't even touching anything.
I had previously wanted just to get some kind of twin handbrake made up, because of the rear drum brakes the handbrake is strong and the two cables enter the cabin before they link behind the lever. If you could pull the cables seperately at least you would have some kind of rear 'locker' to avoid the situation I was in yesterday. If I had the fabrication skills and equipment I would have tried that as a cheap 'n easy option.

She does like things to be in their place, which she considers her job to determine.  No actual herding training with mine, but she does do Flyball occasionally, which in some respects is even weirder than showing..

Oh, and she sh*ts on command.  Coolest and most convenient pet trick EVER.  No waiting around in the cold or rain.  Vet wanted a sample last week when she was in for shots. "No problem, Doc.  Be right back."

I'm doing that very thing.  Kept the console (which is right here beside me as I type, waiting to have a 2nd slot cut into it) and brake lever from the XL-7.  As soon as I get a weekend over 40 degrees or so, it gets done.
