I did not have a lot of luck catching up with any Landrover people except did manage to contact RichardK in Perth, and, of course, had a superb reception in Wilmington from Wayne (Ellard) and David - can't recommend them too highly.
I would have liked to have spent a lot more time, but there were quite severe time constraints all round. But the trip went well, although apart from a few side excursions and some roadworks, it was all on bitumen.
As I said in an earlier post - not bad for a 21 year old car with close to 500,000km on the clock. Says something for Landrover reliability and durability? Apart from the tyre problems, all I did was put fuel in and check levels each day - and clean the windscreen several times each day!
The only "preparation" was to give her a service, replace all shockers, fit a long overdue new steering box, and one new tyre, and put an extra five pounds in all the tyres.
