Thread: L322 td6 GM transmission oil & filter

Defender Mike,


Looks like you are driving back to Perth after purchasing in Sydney. I asked the same question of DDJJKK but he has not replied to my post, but be careful of the registration since you are not from NSW.


The car is not registered when you take delivery, unless it is properly transferred, which I think can only happen in WA. I bought a second hand D4 at Trivet in Parramatta and drove back to Perth, thinking it would be registered in NSW until I got the rego transferred, just like if you buy a car in WA. However, that is not the case and I was told when I went to get it licensed at Welshpool after I got back that I was driving an unregistered car, even though it still had the NSW plates. It also has to go across the pits for an inspection before they will register it.


You have to get a permit from WA, which only allows you to drive the car to the registration centre and only through Victoria and SA on the way, not NSW. It also only applies for 24 hours. If you are not aware of this, find out before you go or make sure that the dealer properly transfers the rego before you leave, otherwise, you will drive an unregistered car across Australia like I did.

Hi Bob
We have moved to Sydney for a while to be closer to our new grandson. We got a nice place up at Pittwater overlooking the water. They were filming home & away close by today (never watched it). I drove the 1958 series 1 from Qld to Perth and left it registered in Qld till I drove it back. Never had any dramas drove it around for 18 months on a qld plates. The biggest drama I had in WA was registering my 8 m long single axel glider trailer that came fom SA. 4 trips over the pits engineers reports the whole shebang.

You are OK if you have an address in NSW. If not, you can't transfer the rego in NSW, which is where the problem arises.


Good luck with the new car. Sounds great.

Thanks Gazza
Spoke with Rhys yes he knows his stuff was working on one when I called. Booked in for a service and check . He was saying they use the carbon plates out of the supercharged commode and there is a new upgraded torque converter. Best of all he's only 40 mins away and I can wait while he does it.
