Thread: Cape York

Its not me but I also heard that they camped for 4 days while LR came and got the truck , took it back to Cairns (I assume) and returned it to them up here.

There was also a Landcruiser with a broken cv...I don't think they were as lucky.

The OTT has claimed over 30 vehicles so far.

We are at Loyalty Beach after walking to the tip yesterday and haven't seen one Landrover of any description since Cooktown!

Our D3 has performed flawlessly and handled the corrugations with ease!

Hi Graeme and Trish

You have done well, not only pictures, but a excellent read as well.

Good to see that the Land Rover is performing well.

Cheers Arthur

Apparently last of the D3's & still under warranty.
Allegedly Landrover Assist are flying mechanics out of Cairns with parts to fix it in situ.

Reasonably reliable source - but will follow up.

Good to see LRA coming to the paryt up there.

Not sure if the owner is a AULRO member and do not want to steal a good story... I spoke to the owners a number of times. Last time was at Seisa. Broken CV at Archer River road house while situating the camper trailer near the river in sand. LR picked up the D3 and drove it to Cairns, repaired it, then delivered it back while they stayed at Archer River. All under warranty and living expenses also paid for by LR. Fantastic service I would say.
