NRMA Approved LR repairers.

[damo]

Now, I know someone is going to ask why I need to find a NRMA appoved Landrover repairer in Sydney so, before you ask, I wasn't driving, not even in the vehicle!

That should give an idea of how much I can safely say.

Anyway, does anyone know of a good Landrover approved NRMA repairer?

Hi Damo,
I hope the damage isn't too bad :(.

Give Caldwells at Condell Park a call, just around the corner from you ;). They're an authorised LR repairer but I'm not too sure on the NRMA side of things.

Hi Scott,
Do you know this privately, or am I missing some available forum info?:confused:

Best Wishes,

Damn Scotty, they're onto us!

Thanks for that, i'll give them a call. Nice and close too.

How's the Schwimwaggen? New heart in yet?

Best Wishes,Yes, I do know where Damo lives - are you after some cheap Disco or RR parts?:p
Or are you after someone who can repair D3 lower tailgates?:wasntme:
:p:D:p


How's the Schwimwaggen? New heart in yet?Yep - she was back on the road the next weekend :). I started the snorkel last weekend & will fit it this weekend ;).

[damo]

Did you get the original motor going or do the long awaited transplant?

I felt pretty helpless watching you, but I know there's nothing worse than having a ton of people trying to help at once.

[Scouse]

Did you get the original motor going or do the long awaited transplant?The original motor is dead. #8 conrod broke & tried going up into #7. The conrod split #7 liner :(.
I didn't do the long awaited Tdi transplant, I just used the motor out of my spare RR (3.9 high comp) :).

Caldwells were one of the ones recommended to me by the NRMA assessment centre when I needed some work on the defender. Ended up going to someone more local who did a good job (But defenders 'are' like a meccano set)

Hi Scott,
I can't keep secrets with you around, can I.:p

I would love to hear of someone who can repair D3 lower tailgates. (Damn snatchum strap):mad:

Best Wishes,

PS: Do you know if the skin is replaceable, or will I have to buy a whole lower tailgate?:o

[Scouse]

He he, I guessed it might have been a strap when I heard you'd been on Stockton Beach :(.

Can't you say it's hail damage & get it done under insurance? :BigThumb:

[Bushie]

So long as it doesn't have this sort of damage :twisted:

Anybody guess what did it?? :wasntme:

Yep, a 1/2 inch drive socket handle.

[damo]

The real question here is "how the F....ar out did you manage that?:eek:"

[Scouse]

I've seen that photo before somewhere. A recovery down the Royal National Park way from memory.

[damo]

I got it! The handle was used to join two snatch straps however, the recovery was, shall we say "difficult?'

Actually off Garie Beach - I did post a series a while back (taken by a mate)

Correct - Nothing to do with me though, a Kluger and a 100 series (IIRC) Kluger was brand new, borrowed by a salesman, and spend the night below the high tide line :o

I wonder if the salesman still has the job...... If I remember the days when when my old man owned a car yard, he probably does:D

So, the Klager was snatched out, the sandcruiser stopped short, Klager didn't, and the straps parted on the first attempt?

Sound about right?

[Bushwanderer]

Can't you say it's hail damage & get it done under insurance? :BigThumb:

Unfortunately, if I tell a lie it shows on my face.:o

On the plus side, it looks like the hail damage can be "dentless" repaired. Unfortunately, this doesn't help the carpark damage. :mad: (Don't you louuuve people who "hit & run".)

Can't you say it's hail damage & get it done under insurance? :BigThumb:

I got some hail damage to the P38A in those last storms at Penrith. Not a lot, just a couple on the upper tailgate aluminium skin.

I rang AAMI - yes, they'd fix it but the car would no longer be insured as it was now hail damaged.

I got it fixed myself.

[damo]

Ok, finally got the time to call Caldwells, (thank you very much Scotty) and they are a North Rocks Mental Association (NRMA!:D) approved reapairer.

Just in case any one else wanted to know......

Ron, I only check girls for hail damage!:p

[LRHybrid100]

you may see a certain blue D110 in there at the moment......

OK what did you do :D:D:D

[Scouse]

OK what did you do :D:D:DThe tailgate is only the half of the story ;).

It's OK Peter, my lips are sealed (for a price).
