Roadworthy Woes

Make sure you get a proper GKN branded rear coupling. There are some dodgy aftermarket ones out there.
Pretty sure I've still one that I bought as a spare and is surplus since I sold the car. I work at Altona North so easy to get it to you. PM me if you're interested.

I'd check with the RWC mechanic first if he'll accept complete removal of the rear muffler. I'm not 100% on the rules there but easy to make a phone call to check rather than have hassles during the re-check.

Just got back from Exhaust World in North Melbourne. They fitted a replacement rear muffler for me (came with the disco) for $50.

Thought it was pretty good price.

Also put in an order for some parts from Roverlord.

And will be ordering the remainder (panhard rod bushes & damper bushes) through Roverparts.

Another question, anyone know a good place to get the transfer case mounts? Having a bit of trouble finding them

I should've checked the thread before putting the order through haha. No matter. Thanks anyway mate.

Roverparts in Ballarat are good to deal with and usually ship express post so you have it next day. They take orders over the phone.

Give Graeme at BritCar in Nth Melbourne a call. He is a fantastic bloke, extremely helpful and won't rip you off.

Rear windows: The problem will probably be a dry solder joint on the circuitboard. Have a search on here for instructions. It is a 5-minute job if you own a soldering iron.

Do yourself a favour and buy SuperPro bushes. Better and longer lasting than OEM, and a LOT easier to fit.

As said above the rear window could be a dry joint in the Window ECU or the child lock located in the centre of the switches might on. I have a couple of ECU's if required.

Stick with rubber bushes, poly are only easy to fit once you press the old ones out.

Can't believe they knocked rear windows I'm an lvt and been doing Rwc for years and all windows don't need to work anymore. Only at least one must work, if you have a big stack your electrics don't work anyway.

True - poly ones would be an absolute bugger to fit if you didn't press the old ones out :D

Not really sure what you're trying to say there.....
