... you don't want much do you I could just overlay a pic of a bob-tailed rangie with all the fruit on it or would that be too obvious

Poo poo Derek! Who wants a rangie?...they are common as!

hi dm_td5

no such luck as yet with the blonde driver toorak tractor for your td5.

Been looking at this car at a dealer in melb to replace a defender td5. A few reasons for this but largely having trouble justiflying keeping the fender as well as 2 series ones. disco can do the job of family runabout as well.... or so i'm told

Car drives well but curious with your signature "broken, fixed and traded". Any info you can share on the car, accessories, problems.

can't promise a life of bitumen for it but would other landies to live with.

thanks

G'day Dane.

I'm sure Derek will pop in and explain... but this will give you a start:

thanks Mark

Look forward to Derek's comments. The link is fairly self explanatory though.

I did ask the dealer about the shiny transmission and new front shaft ... be interesting to see the response. Bothers me more that this seems to be a relatively common occurence. No dramas on my td5 fender at all in 150,000 k's.

Cheers,

Dane

I've seen the hottie driving around a few times since, most recent was this saturday. A D2a in monte carlo blue with a coded sahara bar is a pretty generic concept, I'd daresay a few are around.

Which yard is Derek's vehicle in?

Considering that the automatic gearbox alone is probably the most expensive component on the entire vehicle to replace, I'd have thought a prospective buyer would be very happy to know that the transmission is new.

So what did the dealer say about the new transmission and shaft?
