Chit job actually, even had to shovel it.

The ad said: Environmental sampler required with own 4wd. So I had a go. Used to drive over 300k a day in the old Fender, from Hornsby to Mt Victoria to Smithfield. Craziest day was going up Bells Line, mid-winter. The road was ice and there was a nasty side-wind. I was going along one of those bits on the top where it's 3 lanes and the wind blew me across from left shoulder to right on ice.

just dug this thread up to point out that wheel nut tension is pretty damn high for a Defender, and if using HD wheels, it should be between 163-177Nm (120-130lb/ft). (TSB date 30/7/97)
