    Went wheeling in the Triton yesterday with the young fella doing a shakedown of his D2a. His vehicle ran very well. The air suspension made the ride nice. The trails north of Bellthorpe had very little use before we came and we saw no other vehicles for about 2 hours of 4wding. The Trito does everything easily but I do love seeing a D2 in its element. Next time I will take the D2 and have an LR convoy. Now I have reconnoitred the area I will yell out next time we go for a run. Cheers

    I'll go off now, and check my oil drain pan for a fill plug washer
    Quick update...

    I found the washer, it had rolled under the tire when I went to refill after dropping it and didn't notice

    Once again, you are spot on with your advice, it was the radius arms, this was after fitting the sill fuel tank, it picks up on the radius bolts, a quick loosening, WD40 and nipping back up, all is good in the Landy world

    Next on the list are some AliExpress printed cup holders, they look pretty good and for $35 a pair are good value

    Happy New Year everyone

    Cheers

    Quarter panel off on a D2 would result in insurance write-off

    It’s a decent / expensive job.

    Picture provided seems to indicate a front guard, not a rear quarter. Unless it's a 2 door.

    My plan for fixing is bashing it out with a hammer then spac filler and paint

    which could also provide a tell tale as to why the hole got there in the first place....

    and poor mother gets the blame

    ooooh my error! I thought it was the front guard too.

    Thats the PS rear guard behind the back wheel. That guard off isn't a 30sec job at all. Thats popping spot welds and a far more detailed show.

    I thought it was the rear quarter, behind the wheel.
    Wherever it is, to hit the side of the car with a trailer takes more talent than a directing mum could muster.
    Ultimately, the person behind the wheel is responsible. GOAL, get out and look.
