    Yes I did get it fixed thanks TJ - well I hope it is; several decades from now when the car is running, I might find an oil leak but I hope not

    Cheers Charlie

    My Discovery got stolen last night .

    However, we got it back this morning. They took $1000 worth of camping and recovery gear and an Alpine stereo. They were too stupid to figure out how to hot wire it, pulled a heap of wires out from behind the dash and had pushed it down the road. At least we still have the 200tdi. They left behind our turfer winch and a full 20L water jerry can behind, must have been too heavy for them to carry.

    Proper bastards!

    Might I suggest that you visit the pawn shops in Bunbury as soon as possible where you will quite possibly find some of your gear?

    Cheers Charlie

    PS Good news about the engine

    I've sandblasted, rebuilt and painted the back axle, fitted it and the parabolic springs to the chassis. I'm currently rebuilding the front axle. Louisa's painting was progressing well before the rain set in.
    I also sourced a VDO electronic speedometer that will fit straight in the SIII dash. Whenever I change tyres or diff ratio's all I'll have to do is drive a kilometre to recalibrate it.

    No, it comes with instructions on how to wire it up to a hall effect or induction sensor. I'm planning to make a bracket to hold an inductive sensor near the handbrake drum while welding a tab to the drum. I confirmed it fits perfectly in the instrument cluster today.
