Is anyone planning a major international expedition in their Defender?
...I'm working towards the idea of doing a world trip in a couple of years time! All thoughts welcome.
I've seen lots of websites by those who've done it...most are from Europe. It would be great to know if anyone else from oz is planning something?
There you go: Quick-Fitting-Brass hose fitting, gas hose fitting, Brass gas hose tail, gas hose nut, brass hose nipple, gas hose male nut, brass nut, brass gas...
We use them for many years now.

2020 is the dream, 2021 is more likely.
Shipping container into Hamburg and follow our noses.
Cheers Mick, will do... I'm working towards a world trip, with the aim of shipping my Defender OS in around two years time (funds and projects pending!). Looking at driving to Perth, then shipping to Cape Town... Cape to Cairo... Europe.. then east.
It looks like taking the 98 110 300Tdi...with a bit of TLC will be the go in terms of bush repair-ability and lower Carnet costs!
How are your plans coming together for the big lap? ...I reckon I'd focus entirely on driveline robustness and cooling systems if I were you. Less is more in terms of bolt-on accessories IMO. Don't forget to keep room for two spares, lots of water and no weight on roof.
Thanks. We're nearing the end of our house renovations, so later this year I hope to have the money available to be able to finish off preparing for the trip.
The routes from Australia to Europe that seem most popular include:
1. South Africa and head north through Egypt
2. Bangladesh and across India, Pakistan and Iran to EUrope
3. Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos into China and then across
4. Russia and head west
Apparently 1 can be dangerous in some places in eastern Africa, 2 is dangerous in Pakistan from Quetta to Iran, but there are escorted convoys, 3 has the problem of Chinese rules requiring guides to travel with you (may also be required in Thailand and Laos), 4 is pretty wild in places, but Mongolia gets big write ups.
I'd love to try them all, but doubt if The Navigator would be up for it.
What do you think?
