130km out of Nhulunbuy heading to Adelaide for a holiday and the clutch collapsed.

Once had a kombi clutch collapse on the side of the road at Hexham. Pulled out the clutch right there, withsemis, and cars wizzing past, Hitched into a Newcastle dealer, bought a new Clutch, and hitched back and put it in. Just have pulled out a Disco 1 R380 gear box. Will never do one of those on the side of the road. totally different to a Kombi.

Jason, As far as the mention of moving. It was on TV some time back that one town was givinghomes for a dollar, or something like that, on condition you moved to that town.

They were trying to prevent it from becoming a Ghost town.

Have heard of other incredably cheap towns as well.

Would be better than paying rent I think.

So keep your chin up, Johnf.

The Defender gearbox would have been interesting out in the middle of Arnhem Land.

I guess it is the one we saw when we were there. 'Lucy' the ferret how cool is that

make sure she keeps an eye on it

Hay I have seen people with leads on ferrets and walking them like a dog

Mrs hh

and there was a poster around Rainbow bay of someone who was looking for a lost ferret which had got off its lead, so do tell Fred to be careful.
