***** THE MOST CONFUSING DAY IN CAMBELLTOWN IS FATHERS DAY*****

HAHAHAHAHAHAAH ROFLMAO X INFINITY!

:D most people are nice in that area -2 lol hahahahahah I have to stop. I'm gong to get into trouble again LOL :laughing-smiley-014:

i lived in the liverpool area for 25 yrs...Cambelltown is a bit of a lottery, reaaly good in some places...total shithole in others....find out from locals where to be and not to be before making that move....but i would be moving a little closer toward sydney as Cambelltown is a bit of a travel..

Seriously cambelltown is ok just so far away from the city and life and fun and i think there is something wrong with the water too people are different there. LOL ..........OK 'll stop

Q: What does a girl from Campbelltown use for protection during sex?

A: A bus shelter

C-town isn't bad. You get bad apples in almost every area. Just chose what part of the C-town area wisely

ok thanks all you guys for the mixed info i am looking to rent at first so will search the area i did pick campbell town as i thought it was central to most places i dont want to live up market as me(age 39) and the wife (age 40)are not that way we are down to earth people love going for a good run out in the car going down the pub havin a few friend over for a barby we've never been on the dole just honest hard working people in need of a good social life at the end of the week.

so where to research

I live in Narellan, haven't had any trouble with cars getting stolen or house broken into, haven't heard of any either. Lived here since i was a boy. Narellan is 5min south west of C'town. As people have said you get your bad spots and good spots, just don't go near Airds or Claymore!!!

I moved to Leumeah from Liverpool (UK) i have been back a few times and i can honestly say i would pick Leumeah over Liverpool anyday.

Ok it seems as if the "cons" are well taken care of,

so now for the "pros".

Cost of living is quite acceptable.

There are no telegraph poles, all major electrical systems are underground.

Streets are wide and surfaces in very good condition.

Cost of a modest 3 bedroom house is under $400K.

Getting to and from the surrounding suburbs is quick and simple.

Travel time to Sydney is about 30 minutes on the M5, off peak.

Getting to the Hills districts is 20 minutes on the M7.

Council rates are cheap and the sanitation services are efficient.

Demographics are varied, with plenty of self employed businesses.

The ratio of good sorts is very high, must be something in the water.

No airport traffic.

Less polution, council has a policy about retainment of trees.

WSID and EC are close via the M7, as to is Wakefield park (well relatively speaking).

Et cetera, et cetera. :)

Airds? LOL!!!!!

I did some research on that a while ago, 2/3 bedroom townhouse in Airds for 75k. You seriously get what you pay for in Airds :)

Btw im not having a go at anyone, but yeah, Airds wouldnt be your first choice of location

thanks again guys your info is great, i'm a maintenance electrician by trade so will i be looking for work in sydney or is there industry all over nsw this might have an influence in the area i choose to live

actually i can get you a job. i work in an engineering department of a large hotel group, and we are hiring if you have general experience with plumbing/carpentry as well or are eager to learn. we will train you in these areas anyway, its just quicker if you already know SOMETHEING :dry:

pm if interested

If you are going to be renting initially, then i'd suggest the inner west. Unless rents have gone up significantly in the last couple of years it was the about the best cross between affordability/proximity to the city i found when i was younger. I found public transport to be really good in that area too, as you are at a bit of a fork in the road as far as trains go with 3 different lines running through the area so you are generally fairly close. Buses run everywhere. My last place had a bus stop out the front which went to newtown and glebe, and a train station 400m up the road if i wanted to go to the city. Cab ride was about 25 bucks to get me home at 2am :thanks: You are also generally travelling against the traffic in the morning which makes a huge difference.

But if you have friends over here then it's worth being at least reasonably close to them initially. Nothing worse than living close to the city but travelling out to the west every second weekend to go to the pub with your mates, but you can't drink because you have to drive home....

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
