I know mate, I made a mistake when I sold the 1995 Defe to get a sedan.
Now I have the 1986 RRC manual and if I have to go to auto (heralth reasons) will be a Disco Tdi300 or a RRC auto.
dreaming with a F100 old ute but they are asking gold for the good ones

I hope it works out for you. I need to know if my suggestions may have helped, otherwise I'll keep them to myself. Bob

Well, we now have a firm start date - as a result of another marathon session on the phone.

Repairs should start on 2nd March, that is, next Monday. Estimate is "at least two weeks".

Well, dropped the car at the panelbeaters this morning 0900, and it was going up on the hoist as I left with a lift to Hertz to pick up a rented Patrol.

Interesting comparison on the trip back home. First thing I noticed was the blinkers are on the other side. Yes, I signalled at the first roundabout with the wipers!

The Patrol is a bit quieter than the 110, and definitely a lot smoother engine. But it rides (much) worse than the 110, has just as many rattles, and has worse steering and handling. And within ten kilometres, my back was aching.

I think it rides worse than my 2a, now that it has station wagon springs. I nearly got out to have a look and see if it really does have springs.

Interesting comment re the back ache John.
When I was working I had the option of a Landcruiser or a Patrol and opted for the Patrol as after about 20kms in the Cruiser my back was aching but didn't have a problem with the Patrol.

I hope the repair goes well for you.
