Thread: 2 ROCKS - what to do?

Use vehicles offroad...

Poor electrics actually...

Sit back, find a better mechanic...... Spend the correct amount on the vehicle, not Bandaid fixes and it'll run true.

Hi Tombie
Yes but then there's the seals on the rear windows and Alpine windows to do, and the aircon blend motor that fries my leg every summer (the passenger side is fine ) plus the above. I guess it's sucked up about 4k in remedial work, in the last 12 months, not taking into account the positives like the lift, tyres and normal servicing etc, so I'm starting to wonder just where it will end and when the fun might begin...

I will be in WA in late July, I will give you $1000 for it and take away all that stress, I'm sure I can back load it.
On a serious note, all things mechanical cost money.

Hi JB - that's kind of what I've been thinking, I've already spent a load that I'd be handing over to someone else to just build on by fixing the things I can't at the moment. I do expect things to go wrong, it's a machine, but with 200 thou on the clock, and these ongoing issues I just seem to be chasing fault after fault and not getting to use it. And I sure don't trust it to go away anywhere right now...Y'know I'd have to say that my Wrangler is as preposterously reliable as my ancient NE Pajero was.

Angus,
I never said it was pretty but it's got some nice extras I wouldn't need to fork out for. Not least of which Quadra Drive II with the factory locking diffs front & rear...I know it's done a lot less k's than the D2, but I couldn't believe how quiet it was and I'd love to be able to drop that Merc CRD into the Landy with 160kW as stock (wonder if AMG make a chip?)...Well I did the sums and it won't be for me but some lucky sod will be getting into a very nicely set up Grand that just needs a lift, snorkel, cargo barrier and the usual odds and sods to stir up Niss-yota boys and girls on the track....

And I guess if I change enough things on the Disco, maybe there won't be anything left to go wrong...
Cheers
Mike
