Thread: It's over.

Sorry to hear that and if it doesn't start one day, it becomes a chicken coop?

Didn't you recently spend a bit of $ and quite a bit of time on this one?

Yes Gav, I did.


All is not in vain though- It will be excellent here cruising the paddocks loaded with the usual 'stuff' and helping me to get bogged (already has excelled at this, and the tractor also got bogged trying to extract it, then the neighbours 40t samsung bucket broke lifting chains pulling them out )

Most of the big $ spend is recoverable and will not have been in vain. Some of it might be transferrable to another vehicle... but I'm not going to gut this one just yet. It has some life left.

cheers, Joe

Nah, already have enough of those - It's more likely that the possums and snakes will attempt to utilise it as shelter - so windows up when parked.

A lot of things have happened in a short space of time, so it's difficult to explain. The bottom line is a number of failures and some impending ones are going to see this one retire gracefully while it has a chance and take up duty as paddock transport. That is to say, so long as it starts and runs, it has a place in the shed. Right now, that's a safe spot. It's not a complete basketcase.

Some interesting events on the horizon-

Contemplating what the replacement vehicle will be - it could be a Pajero, maybe a PooTroll.. who knows.

What it won't be is a Disco, Defender or a 75/6/8/9. I've seen nearly every single one locally in the last few months and what's on the tablelands / FNQ is at best "thoroughly well beyond used" and their owners still have their heads where the sun's not shining and price according to their lofty dream ideologies.

Watch this space. It may disappoint... (probably will haha). I promise to let you all down gently.

G Wagon surely

It sounds like you are ready for "peak range rover"




I urge you to get one .... I give you 6months to get the old classic back out and fix it up so you have something simple to own and drive

I thought I was through with them as well but have since bought a 2008 3.6 tdv8 sport.
EVERY THING WORKS ON IT🤔.
