Old mate Murphy and his Law

[Ean Austral]

Gday All,

getting a failed rear wheel bearing done on the D3 on Monday by Justin Cooper but due to the short notice , time arrival of the parts into Tassie on Monday ,and us booked to depart on the ferry on tuesday we can only do the 1 side .

with my close relationship with old Mate Murphy I am looking at prolly doing the other rear before driving back home to Darwin.

Can anyone recommend a place that could do a rear wheel bearing in either west of Melb or Adelaide area ? Plan was to drive the G.O.R to SA then cut up to Pt Augusta . I know of TRS in Lonsdale but anyone else got any suggestions.

Thanks and Cheers Ean

If you are driving the GOR, there is a Land Rover dealership in Millicent, SA (not far past Mount Gambier).

I found them very helpful once when we were returning from Tassie to Kalgoorlie, and I have only ever heard good reports about them.

Ean, depending which way your taking off exactly out of Melbourne, there’s a dealership not far from the boat 🚤 , or, if you have the time/opportunity etc, there are a couple of independents in and around Melb too.

gday Chops,

i have the camper in tow so was looking at prolly setting up in a van park somewhere and dropping the car off , hence my thoughts of outside Melb or on my way to SA then home .

happy to look at all option tho.

Theres a nice place about 10 minutes from me and a couple of independents 15 minutes the other way.

Im greensborough way. And if you need it can arrange for you to have my spare D1 before I start stripping it down.

thanks for the kind offer Dave . I will google and see where you are . Can you tell me the names of the indies so I can forward book if that's the way we go . Not sure how many would have a rear wheel bearing for a D3 sitting on the shelf .

Cheers Ean

Dave must be close to me which means close to LRA as well.

There's a "Big4" caravan park at 265 Elizabeth St Coburg, just 9 kms North of the city, my mum & dad used to go there when in town - it's pretty nice, you can call them on 03 9353 8222.
Could give you a base while getting work done....

cheers
