Well, after the longest head gasket job in known history, I got the thing going, just in time to see if it will break down at Wombat. Oh, and renewed my RACV Total Care!

Oh no Land rover can find a nasty way to do it. A blind split stud pushed through the plastic and brace then bent over. Other than that the fitment was all good. Next is the air box. Some custom work here because of the gas system and my plan to fit a second battery.

My time with this Land Rover has taught me that the design was exemplary. The implementation of that design and follow through, is a bit wanting.
Jeremy Clarkson said it best in the Top Gear Bolivian Special. I now truly know what he meant.
Still, I love this car. It's got character. Even if it is a character I want to drive out into the outback and set on fire half the time.
