It would have been closer to send it to Sydney, WHERE I LIVE!
Not to mention how much cheaper it would have been too!!

Is there something at Birdsville that kills Land Rovers ?Quote:

Patched the hole, removed the front prop, drove back to Glenayle Station in 2WD then got towed to Kalgoorlie had a new centre fitted. Luckily no more probs as I continued back across Oz, across the Simpson, through BIRDSVILLE and out the other side :p then had a new housing fitted in Sydney by you guys a few weeks back.

Yes that's right, it's a D2, MY04.
Still deciding on how to strengthen the diffs, ARB lockers with Maxi axles is where my head is at the moment! But I'm still toying with the Maxi lockers after discussions with Bush65 last weekend I know this topic's been spoken about at length on this forum, so it now comes down to money.
