    Three years ago the Oodnadatta Track was great. Could have done it in a Falcodoor at 100kph. Last year it was rocky and corrugated - about 40 to 50 kph all the way. But if you’re going from Hermansberg (sp?) to Kings Canyon take a hovercraft. Lotsa corrugations, rocks and ruts.
    Cheers,

    Hi Mark, Traveled Oodndatta Track this time last year and it was an easy 90-100kph in the D2. Also traveled the road from HB to KC and agree it was bloody awful which was a suprise as previous time it was in good shape. Cheers, Charles.

    Thanks for the responses so far - it helps to hear from people with L322 experience.

    To summarise, I have a pretty good understanding of the L322 td6 strengths and weaknesses and have iidtool etc. Trans has been properly rebuilt and previous owner replaced all 4 airbag assemblies with genuine parts in early 2018 - Reason I bought the vehicle was condition and no expense spared service history.

    A big part of me is keen to take the RR but the risk averse part says take the D2....

    Cheers, Charles

    You haven't mentioned tyres. Are they up to the roads?

    Rangie for sure. Just make sure you don't attempt the corrigations at the 'death speed' around 20-25 kmh, where you get a lovely smooth ride until the shocks blow. Here's a cautionary tale:
