I now have a defender so I can tow, and when I am back at armidale I am within striking distance of QLD.
Let the games begin.
damn it just realised I am a poor uni student you win this round... and i guess the rest.
Good to see such a good vehicle go to a good home though, I know the previous owner was happy about that, as am I

Very unevenful (which is a good thing). Left Newcastle on Sunday arvo, got as far as Tamworth and camped the night there. We got back on the road about 7 and had lunch at the border. Nan (driving my Fraud) was playing tailed charlie until then, but went ahead (at 100 kph :D) while I cruised home arriving around 8 that night.

Nice easy drive, particularly with Power Steer & parabolics :)

Banjo has done some great work.

Glad it was an uneventfull trip.. Yeah its different driving a series with full power steering . & the parabolics make a difference . Even more so when theres a load on them..

I also ment to tell you theres an isolator switch in the back on the passengers side to turn off the second battery..Also the whole dash & center box are covered in a marine grade UV protected vinal so shouldn't fade , I just use armerall to clean it..


Where is Ban Ban springs ??

Jason, great (first) trip :). I found the isolator and figured as much, given it is right near the 2nd battery.

Ban Ban springs is about 130kms from my place and I just stopped there for a coffee and leg stretch. It seemed like a good place to get a pic and daylight was about to disappear anyway. I spent about 13 hours in the chair on Monday and was very surprised how dam comfortable it is :)

The only thing I can think off ATM is that the tyres are a bit noisy (because of their open design), but that is an easy fix.

Ronnie and I are going to take it to Blackbutt to attend the club (SLOw) annual dinner in a couple of weeks. It will certainly get some use.

There is a new thread on S3 central locking, so I am watching that with interest as I would like the convenience of that as well. Might even look at cruise :p

The switch is on the side of the starting battery. as to not loose any currant when the second one is off.. Yeah those tyres do hum a bit.
Yeah the central locking is easy enough to do we where going to put it on the green one just never got around to it .. Only need a bracket to hold the regulator Then the rod just goes onto the bit that locks the door so you need to drill a hole for the rod as it has a Z shape on it so it doesn't come out.. Im putting it on Harry . Ive already done all the looking into it & maesurements & what I nee for the brackets..But id like to use defender doors if I can get some. Ive also looked right into aircon &found some small under dash units that are used in hotrods that will fit easy.

After market cruise control will work fine & all the sensors are easy to fit to the handbrake drum.. Looked at that aswell.

Cool, A Series with power steer, central locking, A/C and cruise. I like the idea.

Any links or leads on the small A/C units :D
