Thread: Disco 2 TD5 question

Dealers are only in major citys.
Parts you can get and there is a wealth ofknowledge on here for that.
The Landy can do it. Just make sure it's in good nick and you have the basic spares.
Look at the cccc threads for ideas.
they are in the trips section.

Hello George,

Thanks for your quick reaction.

It's in a good condition.
There are BF Goodrich AT tyres on it, with the size 245/75/16.
Is that a problem?

thanks allready

The tyres will be fine. A little slippery potentially in some places, but you will be ok.

On recommendation I will make though, is if you want to tour Cape York and the deserts then I would fit a snorkel. This will keep the water out of your engine in the many deepwater crossings at the Cape, and some of the dust out in the outback.

I am not 100% sure of this but I think one of the forum members works for a Land Rover Dealer in Alice Springs. Depending on what route you take you might go through Alice Springs so could be worth popping in to see him.

If you post your route in a thread I am sure people would be happy to point out where their preferred Land Rover mechanics are near your route, in case of trouble. Most people on this forum seem to avoid dealers.

Also what sort of time frame are you looking at? You never know there might be someone else on the forum going at the same time who could buddy up with you. The cape has two seasons (wet and dry) and the driving is much more difficult in the wet (Nov to April I think).

Thanks Slunnie for your answer,

Sorry i didn't write it down, but i allready have a snorkel on my car.

Do you know anything else?

And does anyone know's a good internet adress from a shop near Adelaide, because i still want to fit some stuff one my car.
