Thread: Brisbane to Perth (TD6) 2006

Nice vehicle,we were looking at one but decided to get a Territory instead.
The auto isnt up to the torque of the BMW straight 6,its advisable to change the trannie oil ASAP and change it every 12 months to help slow the damage.(clutch material sheds and destroys vital components over a period of time)
Its the same gearbox used in the VE Commodore,they too suffer issues when used for towing.
There are plenty of threads on the L322 gearbox and mods to help fix the issue,worth searching for and reading if you wernt aware.
Other than that,a brilliant vehicle,the gearbox issue is what put me off buying one.
Waiting for the TDV8 versions to come down a bit then wouldnt mind getting one for the good lady.

I saw the ad, it's a nice looking low mileage well looked after td6 update. One of the last Td6 RR. I was also looking about that time. Yours and one below came up just after I bought. Update models were scarce as. After I buy, two come on market in Qld. Still, very happy with my purchase. The RR is fantastic for long drives.

DDJJKK, how did you get it registered?

A. Transfer RRV and Private Plates into my name in QLD against the property there.
Has to be done in person.
Have to have a property in QLD to garage it against.
Have to pay QLD stamp duty.

When I bought my Series 1 in Gympie I drove it across to Perth with no plates. Just a sticker on the window with receipt to show it was registered in Qld. I was never pulled over in fact most the cops waved to me. They don't see many original condition old Landys driving around. Anyway the Qld plates were sent to my house in Freo. I told them I was returning to Qld in 12 months so they even sent the renewal notice to WA. Surprised me I just thought that they were so short of dough in Qld that they would take the money.
