Thank you for your reply. When in doubt, ask those in the know! I'm sure this is covered in other posts but do you have any specific companies in the UK you regularly order from?

Same old crap,you will wait for parts in the Pilbara regardless of make,people who think otherwise are living in La La land. Pat

I use linrover for most of my stuff. they express post and are good to deal with. and being a australian small operation i like to think im helping the locals

Linn Rover let me down and never fixed it - I wouldn't recommend them. I use Roverparts and CLR, but otherwise I've given up on Australian suppliers. You can get stuff from the UK to Broome easily, since I'm down the road and I get things from England in a week or two.

You friend hasn't got a clue and that's very funny, the idea that you wouldn't take a Landie up here. (Tell him we said so! ) What often happens is it's hard to get parts for Toyotas because they sell out so fast. But in reality there are so many different makes around that nobody can stock everything. Up north, almost everything is ordered in.

Get your car into top condition, take the obvious things like filters and belts and whatever, drive sensibly and you'll be fine. There are quite a few different Landies in Broome.

Got it in one.

Tip No 1. Don't run obscure brand odd size tyres, carry a compressor and don't be afraid to adjust tyre pressures to suit the terrain.
Tip No 2. Don't listen to people that tell you to drive fast over corrugations, or if you do carry spare shockers, shocker mounts, springs, rubbers etc.

I too live in the Pilbara and its true you cant buy parts locally
That said I dont think you can get parts for anything locally
The last parts I ordered from All 4x4 in Newcastle arrived in 2 days
Not sure what sort of parts you need I have lots of stuff for Defenders if you get caught.

That's a shame that they let you down. Can I ask how they let you down and what do they need to do to fix things?

like i said they have been good to me.
