    I was a proud owner of a BA Egas until someone from not from here ran a red light because in their neck of the woods red mean go. Only problem I had was on hot days you couldn’t fill the gas tank , so I used to go through the s car wash first and then fill up. It’s was like a birthday and Christmas at the same time.

      I had a BF straight gas ute and finding fuel was a big issue for me too, plus the price of fuel made the egas benefit redundant... i remember when gas was 20 cents per litre!

    scan the page that shows the light bulb indicator on the dash means the lights are on, make a bunch of copies and next time you get pulled over give it out as "educational materail" to the idiot Cops!

      FYI, the shit-box started playing up again! This time when you turn the lights on the brake lights come on and stay on, when you turn the lights off, the brake lights respond to the pedal, BUT the dash indicator comes on. Cruise works with lights off, but not with the lights on.... So I reckon the indicator does work for both circumstances...
      I reckon I have a short in the tail light loom. More video coming soon...

      @@mattjacomos2795 I reckon that sounds like a brake switch problem. Replace the brake switch first (underneath the brake pedal leaver). Should be cheap enough.

      Do you have a tow bar. Check for green death. When water gets into the trailer harness it does magical things.

      I replaced the switch, no dice. Cleaned the bulb holders and it came good again!

    Yes the dash light is theee to say lights are on, never believe a dumb cop, they know nothing about cars, the other place you can have a problem is the between the plug and lights wiring, they melt together, so pull the cover behind tail light in boot and check the plug behind the grommet.

      Thanks for the clarification and the info dude! I actually found the bulb socket was the issue, once I cleaned it out they magically worked again, $160 later...
