    After 3 months shipping the 90 over from the UK I finally got to drive her today, and promptly broke down drivebelt tensioner siezed and snapped the belt, obviously she didn't like being stuck in a box for over 2 months

    That's not the reunion you were hoping for! Hope it gets sorted without drama. BTW, is your location the Perth in WA or the one in Scotland? You've confused me with the "sunny" reference . (Today anyway. I've been out cuttig trees on my firebreak boundary in my S2a and get as wet inside as outside )

    Sucks!

    Weeks after my 90 was imported from the UK it blew a head gasket and cracked its head, so I know how it feels! Perhaps they get sea sick?

    With a bit of luck its just a minor speed bump and you'll be back out there in no time. I wont tell you how long mines been off the road for..

    Best of luck.

    Bugger, never mine she will come good. That's just a bit of pay back for boxing her up. Get out in some of WA's beautiful scenery and all will be forgiven.

    Yep took all of 20 minutes to fix her after getting the belt and tensioner from Rovacraft, so she's back on the road again and I've got a week off next week to fit a winch and bumper and what ever else I buy at the show this weekend thinking awning, dual battery setup etc!
