All, we spotted the attached little fella getting hassled by the local maggie hood yesterday. So.. to the resue – coaxed him down with a plateful of seed and eventually got close enough to cover him with my diving prawn net.

And the.. he monstered the seed for 3 hours – poor little sod was starving – I guess he wouldn’t have lasted another night.

Problem – we’ve borrowed a small, but too small, cage from the vet which is fine for the mo, but we’re off to the deserts in under 2 weeks. We’ve got neighbours who’ll look after him while we’re away, and we’re trying to find his owners, but the vet’s cage is too small for a longish stint if we don’t have a result over the next week.

Has anyone close to Perth got a reas. size cage we could borrow pls?

Air Intake Water and engines do not mix very well, and when they do it almost always results in bent pistons, valves and crankshaft commonly called “hydro-locking”. If you think this sounds expensive you're right. The positioning of the air intake is critical to how well a vehicle can handle a crossing. For example certain Toyota models have their air intake directly behind the headlight, which is great to allow cold air into the engine but unfortunately is equally as great in directing water into the engine (An easy fix for this is to remove the plastic tubing from the air cleaner to the headlight when crossing water). NEVER attempt a water crossing where the water depth is above the air intake height. If you intend doing regular water crossings, its a good idea to fit a snorkel as it raises the air intake to your roof line. It doesn't mean you can use your 4x4 as a submarine!
