Here's the full kit. We left Victoria yesterday. Currently made it to Pt Germain. Defender's got about 1200km's now and I'm getting around 13L/100km.

How does it perform towing?

I'm impressed with the oomph in mine...very torquey and free spinning. A mate with a Td5 Disco unchipped drove mine today and was well impressed.

Like a dream. We've been keeping the speed down to around 95-100kph and for the first 1200km's we didn't go much above 80kph. Today I past a road train, up hill, 6th gear, 110kph, with out a struggle. I don't think my chipped and intercooler upgrade Td5 D2 would have been as good.

I'll post the fuel figures when I get home but we seem to be averaging 13 to 14 L/100km.

Stop rubbing it in :p My county reaches a max of 70kph uphill, let alone with a camper! Are they rover diffs? How does it go through the rough with the camper? The kimberley campers look pretty impressive. Ahhh the life.

G'day Derek, Glad all has worked out for you. We've been in Gapuwiyak for a week now and will look forward to catching up late next week if you're available. Then there will be 2 silver Defenders in Gove ...for a short time anyhow. Cheers, Erich
