I'd be interested to know if a similar sky is falling tune was said when electronic engine management was relatively new back in the day?!
I don't plan on staying in the trade for too much longer so it is no worry to me, but if I have no choice there is always the option of working on kenworth, apart from the engine and bluetooth stereo the trucks are a throw back to the 1970s

BTW would these assist you for the ag gear?

Thanks for the links mate.

They look interesting, way beyond my knowledge, I know zero about the computer side of things. I'll pass them on to some mechanics in the area though.

We were caught out with the fta. You want to sell us your cattle, this is how you're going to buy your equipment from us. Of course we have no idea what's being negotiated on our behalf...government secrets. Lol.

I think there are too many people owning cars to be totally locked out, but politicians need to know we are not happy.
That's why I suggest all enthusiasts just pick up the phone and call their local pollie to let them know it's unacceptable.

The ACCC is onto it as well but every bit of pressure helps.
