The fact that the salesman said they had looked after the vehicle since new was part of the decision to buy.

Hi Mahn
I think you missed the problem.
New bushes have been fitted to the watts linkage in the last 12 months,the linkage has been re-installed upside down and one of the linkages has been rubbing on the diff housing.
The local mechanic,a top bloke I will add,did my service.He is a bloody good mechanic,from the old school and also charges like the old school.

Andy
indeed I did :oops:
So much for speed reading :roll: https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
If it is any consolation the LR place broke their special tool extracting mine so they made a heavy duty one
Ive gone thru my reciepts,none mention replacing bushes,although the last service(whilst under warrantty) states "all bushes checked and tensioned where needed" No mention of replacements.
I think it would be a "bang your head against the wall to prove they PLUCKED UP"
There is no doubt its been re-bushed,they still look new.
Hopefully its an easy "backyarders" repair that I can fix.
At least she only cost me the same as an early model cruiser 8) 8) 8) 8)

Who's this mechanic, Are you going to tell?Quote:

PM me if you like, if my carbs don't work when I put them back on I might need one! prob go to the well known NOR LR shop/garage if I do though.

And really what would you want with an old cruiser ???
It would cost you just as much to keep getting it recovered from bogs & breakdowns https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Hi Steve
Rocky is the mechanic,Willams mechanical services.The problem is he is basically the only mechanic in town so he is pretty hard to get a booking with,I booked black betty in 3 weeks ago.

Hi Guys
watts link fixed,an easy job.I straightened and reinforced the bent linkage,all good.
BlackBettys "bum waddle" when going over speedhumps has gone,the linkage hiting the diff housing was the cause I would say.
I did take photos,but the flash was off,although they look OK on the view finder,when up-loaded to the computer they are too dark to see :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
