G'day from Tassie

Hi all

Just joined, down in Tassie on the west coast with my 2009 Defender 110 and keen to get her dirty. Oh, by the way, she's called Dora (thanks to my 5 year old).

Looking to talk about tyre pressures , strange buzzing sounds on arming the alarm and a clunk in the drivetrain.....

Cheers

Welcome! You're not the Defender a few doors down from the Strahan Motel are you? I noticed that last year when I was there for a few days.

As for tyre pressures if you run the standard General Grabbers then, unloaded, mid 30's psi is a good all round pressure on road and these tyres wear incredibly well too. Can't help with the rest, though the alarm sounds like a possible short.

Welcome aboard.

Strahan was going to be my question too. Spent a few days there, a couple of years ago. Loved the place.
