What price would you be chasing for the roll cage?

If I were in your position I would stick with the stock rover running gear vs changing over to Nissan. Only for the fact that you can upgrade the Rover gear a piece at a time or as it breaks vs a big outlay to switch to Nissan gear. From memory I don't think the 24 spline axles are all that much str...

It can also be the A frame Ball joint starting to flog out a bit.

What sort of money is a 24 spline diff and axles likely to go for these days? Ive already broken a trans (on the road) so the 10 spline bits might not last long Depends if you're just changing over to standard rover gear or looking at upgrading to lockers and chromoly axles. Also if it's front or r...

They also made a Salisbury for the front of Land Rovers, though these weren't that common. I know of a few people that have used a grinder to cut/grind off about 25mm from the bottom of the Salisbury housing. You have to use an aftermarket diff cover, but these are quite cheap.

Looks like an epic trip! It's amazing the distances, wide open spaces and isolation in Australia. There are not many places like that in the world. I think that the 30k this trip cost is well worth the money spent. I've done a few smaller trips in Aus so can't wait to see your photos.

Wondering if you have any more info on what's happening/where Friday? Had planned on coming along on Saturday, but forgot that I'm going to the races.

Just had a hunt around on the laptop and found the guys details. The address is 856 Jones Rd, Rolleston, Ph 027 201 8362

There is a guy out Hornby way that has a yard full of them, can't remember the address or ph number, but will ask my old man today.

Spent most of the day pulling the radiator and intercooler out and giving them a good clean. While I as at it I flushed the cooling system and did an oil change. Now to take it for a run.

Just brought a Discovery with a 200tdi. The previous owner had installed a Boost gauge and EGT gauge. The boost gauge works fine, but the EGT gauge is not and apparently it has never worked. On start up it rotates 270 degrees on the dial which is apparently to calibrate, and then sits back down on 2...

I'm guessing this is the Disco I brought last weekend. It's an awesome truck and stoked with it Can't wait to get out and put it through it's paces.

Looks to be be well looked after and with a complete service history it seems like it is fairly priced (though I'd still try and knock them down a bit). IMO though, I wouldn't be looking at an auto or at least take it for a drive and see how it goes/you feel about it before you buy. Friends of mine ...

Still for sale, looking for offers around the $1200ono mark

Anybody here been up Worsleys Rd recently? Just wondering what condition the track is in? Thinking bout heading up there this afternoon to give my new ride a bit of a work out. If I go will be by myself, what are the chances of other vehicles being up there if I were to get into any strife?

Sorry thought I had that up, I'm in Christchurch

Good Condition Warn Highmount Winch, I brought it second hand in Australia, and never used it. I've had it connected up to a battery when I was fitting/fabbing it up to fit a truck I had in Aussie and it worked fine. It has no cable on it as I had it removed for shipping to try make it a bit lighter...

I would LOVE to buy this, but don't think that my funds would stretch anywhere near that far Very similar to plans I've had floating around in my head for a while now

How many kms etc? Anything mentioned on previous WoF that may need attention in the future? Any known issues?

Yep defineatly check spark. Ive had leads just suddenly decide to die on me in the past, had been out wheeling the day before, went to go to work the next day drove down the road and truck cut out. Leads had decided to quit

I have recently moved to Canterbury from Australia. In Aus I had a couple of Disco's and a 91 200 Tdi Defender Tray back. I'm driving a company supplied 2003 110 Defender with a 300 Tdi powering it. It's just clicked over 220k and the boss, who has owned since about 90k, can't remember the last time...

I'd be looking at getting a air con pump and running it as an air compressor.

Here is the wife's Disco the day after we purchased it http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/mab3y/4x4%20Photos/IMG_7788.jpg And my Comp Truck as it's sitting at the moment, http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/mab3y/4x4%20Photos/rearview.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/mab3y/4x4%20Photos...

Thanks for the info. I had a look at the NZTA site and found a few things a little confusing, so I will give them a call during the week and talk to them about it.

Hi guys, I'm currently living in Melbourne and am planing to move back to Christchurch towards the end of the year. I'm currently driving a 92 200TDI Defender Trayback with a tipper. I haven't had the truck too long and have just had a Road Worthy Certificate (similar to WOF) done and it past quite ...

G'day all, I'm currently living in Melbourne, but will be moving back to Christchurch with my wife and son towards the end of the year. Currently have twin locked Disco that the wife drives, which we use for camping etc. I'm driving a Defender with plans to modify to a capable play truck and have a ...
