    Looks like its all underway at Casa Del Vern and I am amazed at the level of friendship extended by the community as a whole.

    This could have been a very expensive nightmare without the amazing generosity of the AULRO community and especially those involved in helping out which turns out to be a huge number of people from many states and territories extending facilities, advice, beer, accommodation, vehicles and who knows what else.

    Sort of like a big green oily hand of Land Rovery friendship!

    Appreciate the offer Mick - I have the one that came out of her myself - but was advised by a few very knowledgable people not to put it back in, and to try and source one from a D1 instead. Defender one is too light, fins not very effective, not much good at the whole cooling side of things, and after looking at it close up, I'd tend to agree.

    Don't knock the nature strip - it seemed very appealing at the time compared to the red Rooster car park The help you gave me was well appreciated.

    Have to thank Steve and his TIG welding skills for that one, rather than me. I'm not the worst with a MIG welder, but nowhere near good enough not to melt big holes in something that thin.

    I think that the D1 condenser is a lot better than the thing they put into the defender. Mine is a locally installed condenser, that together with the terrible placement of the evaporator in the passengers foot well make the whole thing very average.
    Pretty much exactly what JC said on the phone to me, and recommended that I find a D1 condenser and put it in its place.

    I wouldn't go that far - I'm more from the "I'm not very smart, but I can lift heavy things" camp, where everything can be achieved if you can find a bigger hammer. But we're getting there.

    Have to get some braided lines made up today, so off to get shafted by either Enzed or Pirtek right now....
