We are now in Sydney waiting to board our flight to Honolulu :) be back in a couple of weeks.

Just clocked 37,000km and had a service yesterday. not a sign of an oil leak, no issues other than drive line clunk which everone tells me is normal. I did have the yellow warning light on the dash come on intermittably several times. However I have not seen it since my Innaminka trip about 4,000kms ago. The stealer could not find a fault reading at the time.
I still cannot get over the pulling power of these things. The temptation is too great. I LOVE flying up a hill around all sorts, just to see the look on their faces when they see an "old" Landrover fly past...
Oh, and I can put my unit in the car wash bay, hit it all over with the high pressure nozzle and not a drop inside!!:cool:
I took mine for a quick 1 hour spin yesterday and the engine does pull up bush tracks easily,I drove up a loose shale covered track and the TC came on twice but without a problem she walked right up.The one thing more than anything else I've noticed is that it seems to not mind staying at 1000-1200rpm in 1st low and simply crawling over things,the Tdi needs a bit of rev's and speed but the TDCi likes it slow,1st low is low,it's no good going down as it locks the wheels but 2nd works like a treat.

I agree 1st is really low. I find it excellent on really steep slippery inclines.Quote:

Don't forget if you can, visit us on your return;)
Mrs hh:angel:
Will do Mrs H. Not sure of the plans yet and whether we will by-pass Brisbane or not.
Leading from the front as usual,roll on. Heading for the bog tomorrow with our tdi and Puma to take home turf. Not quite the same I admit, but one of these days ......(or so I keep telling myself)
