Thread: Vehicle inspection in Kurri Kurri - need help!

I'm looking at buying a Defender from Kurri Kurri, but being in Brisbane this makes things a little hard. I know bugger all about mechanics, especially no Defenders (yet!). Hence, I was wondering if anyone who knows what they're looking at would be able to come along and check it out with me.

I'm also thinking about getting it to a mechanic for a fair dinkum inspection, but can only get it to a local mechanic in Kurri Kurri and I have no idea if they're any good. Before I bother doing this, I'd love a Landy person to see if it's worth bothering.

So, it might be a big ask, but thought I'd put out a request here. I'll gladly compensate you for your time - whatever we both think is reasonable. I like to think of myself as not a d**head, so hopefully it wouldn't be a too unpleasant trip!

So - anyone from the area willing to help a bloke out?!

PS - mods please move this if there's a more appropriate forum.
