Thread: Look what I got yesterday!

Very nice, i'm assuming this was the plan you had in mind, trade the Disco in for a new fender and pick up the camper as well

They are good fuel figures for a new car, being she is still a bit tight, they will probably improve slightly as you get more Ks on it.

So, well done, the early dramas are but a distant memory now and all turned out well in the end.

Good luck with the new beast and camper, we will most likely see you on the Cape trip.

Baz.

Well we made it home this afternoon. Left Katherine at 0630 and got in a bit after 1700.

Only trouble was the anderson plug on the trailer came off somewhere in the last 35km. I know it was all connected soundly when I stopped to put the 3rd jerry of fuel in as I checked everything and that was 35km from home. So now the trailer lead needs to be repaired with a new plug and some new sheathing Still better than the problems we had going south!

We had the fuel light (and the chime) come on twice on the way in. I could have made the second one with 35km to go, but stopped anyway. I still have to refuel tomorrow when the BP opens but if the fuel light comes on at 9L then I've used approximately 105L for 747km or in round terms 14L/100km. Not bad seeing how I spent a lot of the trip in 5th and not 6th.



The Defender's now got 4533km on the clock after 10 days. Tomorrow is bath time for both the trailer and the car. During next week I'll change the diff, engine and transfer case oils. The engine only started to use oil in the last 2 days and even then it only dropped about 1/10" on the dipstick, the oil also started to discolour in the last 2 days.

glad you made it home

i opened this up and thought for a second looking at your picture that it was smoke coming from the defender

No just a crappy shot looking into the sun. Didn't have time to do anything else as we were both keen to drive the last kilometre to our front door

Hi Derek. Sorry we didn't reply but we've been out at Balma all this long weekend and didn't get back to Gapuwiyak till 9.30 Monday evening. I'll give you a call tonight (Tuesday) if that's OK. Will be in Gove this Thursday arriving before lunch. Cheers. Erich
