Gold!!!!

LOL I have to say though it was an aswome 4 kms however I still love the car for my purposes it's the most practical thing for my purposes I have had a great time sitting in it this weekend lol

also a new hilux went past and driver had a laugh!!

After much debating over wether I take a defender over a hilux you could imagine what I was thinking in a busy roundabout 4 kms from pick up.

Funnily enough I still love it despite the fact it's a big paperweight

As it turns out a broken fuel filter housing causing no fuel to get to the motor some how it had been busted its not the cars fault it looks as though something fell into the cover and snapped one of the 4 hose connections off. This is the part near the chassis rail on the drivers side.

So lr assist are helpful hopefully be on the road next week. Car drove great for the 4 kms I did in it, felt better than a 08 twin cab I drove with the gear changes.

What a coincidence getting a tow from another 130!!!!

I can't beleive that this happened though! No chasing foxes this weekend!!

I will pass on your thanks to Stuart when I see him.
They aren't members(That I know of, but I have offered it).

No boys, I can beat that - how's 250 metres ..... ?!!!

As I drove my new 110 out of the dealers yard on Thursday I went to switch on the fan - no response. An no 12V power out of the cig lighter - everything else OK.

I pulled over and checked all the fuses - no issues, so I pulled into their service centre round the next street - literally 10 mins after leaving the dealers yard.

Happily in this case it was simple - when the Autron tech fitted the cruise control, he accidentally knocked off the power connectors for both items. Back on and fixed immediately.

Lucky it was just a simple fix - but sheesh, that must be THE record surely !

Nope he got 4 km's, you only got 250m (I think yours would be about the average distance).....
