Thread: Two Chicks and a Defender

can anyone confirm if this is the over flow pipe. Just started leaking when the fuel nozzle clicked off.

That's the Fast Fill breather hose. It allows vapours out of the fuel tank up to the point at which it is supposed to be full. Then it makes the nozzle trigger shut off. After that the fuel level should always drop below that hose unless you park as an extreme sideways angle. I see a barbed joiner in there, and that type of hose is very prone to perishing. Unless the vehicle is going off road I wouldn't fuss too much, fix it when you get the vehicle in your hands. Failing that, cut out the barbed joiner and replace with a longer section of steel/copper tubing without barbs, and a couple of clamps.

No, there are only 4 chicks in Bright including your sister inlaw. We had to get one chick from Porepunkah nearby!

Some pics of the days travel

Rabbit proof fence at Merredin WA




Stumps for the day at Southern Cross




After spending most of the day shopping in Perth for some camping gear and food and god knows what they went back to my mates place where he cut out the split and rejoined the overflow pipe. Reports from the wife is that the car is traveling well and everyone is having a good time. Apparently there is curtains for the windows which has a press stud arrangement and they have used this to keep the sun from shining into the back window. I have no idea what they mean and didn't realise it had any thing like this. It seems to be a hit though. The stereo and subwoofer has been another hit. Tomorrow they are going to Kalgoorlie and will end up probably around Caiguna would be my guess.

Yep, theyre Bright girls all right, I'm guessing the one from Porepunkah took the pic

I bet they are copping a few double takes from other Landy drivers .
