Perth to Paris

I serviced a 130 defender camper a while ago in Perth that I helped build in the UK, it was drived from the uk to Perth and the only fault that occured was a hub seal. It was a 300tdi so no electrics to worry about.

How long do we wait before we banish the gent who suggested LR's are not the be all and end all of 4WD's. :)

There will be multiple vehicles and they all intend on buying the same thing, shipping to Asia from NT.

Tell him to check out these sites. They are mostly Land Rover 'expeditions' and mostly via Africa, but similar issues will arise which ever direction he takes.

Most common vehicle is a 110 with a TDi300, but a few 130's as well.

There dozens and dozens of sites like this.

Funnily enough, when I was in Sydney last week there was 'cruiser at the OL shop at Rockdale.

The owner bought new, got OL to kit it out and drove it to London, before having it shipped back to Aussie.

Amazing what people do!
