Yes. I was quite surprised at the weighbridge. This is my first foray into diesel ownership.Quote:

It's already running 7.50 16's. I don't want to change the tyres. I might investigate the possibility of changing the diffs but I don't want to move the stress somewhere else in the drive train.

As I'm a noob at this, I won't publish my observations here. Besides, at least one other forum member was there on Friday who is far more experienced than I. I won't name them, but they do have my eternal gratitude for the assistance they gave me.
One interesting observation of the GS models: one had a 24v generator in the engine bay. Fitted but no loom connected. Weird.
I def learned the importance of inspections, the condition of the vehicles varies considerably.
bumped into Dave while I was down there.........he will give your a god run down.Quote:

Lot 1 than Lot 5 than Lot 4....if I was buying based on a quick look, Lot 4 could be good value if it stays low....Dave has taken about a million pics of each car, started them and engaged PTO's if they had one fitted.
plenty of punters having a look
So the general condition overall is a bit rough? Will be interested to see how this reflects on final prices as they seem to be sitting fairly low at this point. Apart from a couple and the senior commander at about 9000 now

Could be true although I haven't heard anything.
I here tell there may be a major release of MB into the system around then.
There were quite a few parked up at Palmer but not sure if they shipped to Minto.
Murphy's law says now I have mine they'll dump plenty in WA.
I did wonder if you had played Murphys laws for the rest of us :)
