Thread: how often do you look

I like to do mine every Saturday morning its like a ritual then during the week just keep an eye ear and feelers out for anything that might not be working as well as it should and i like to jump under every 5000K to check all the rubbers etc, or before and after a trip off road

Before any big trip...
Before a run to Adelaide
Daily During a trip
Upon return from trip

otherwise only when 1 of the following occurs...

1) Noise I havent heard before
2) Washer bottle needs topping Up
3) I'm giving her a service.

My Landies have been the MOST reliable vehicles I've ever owned (no BS)

our falcon gets service by a mechanic.......don't reckon i have ever opped the bonnet

Before I start the Defender and at the moment during start up and shut down.


I think I need a see through bonnet

Weekly, unless I'm out bush or travelling, then its either daily or before I set off after stopping.

When travelling no mater what car I always check under the bonnet at least twice a day.
