I know where your are coming from Oldplodder, but geez it can be so frustrating waiting for stuff. I'm kitting out my Disco 3 and
Kimberley Kamper ready for our 'round Oz trip. Here's a bit of a list to give you an idea about delays..
Everything the dealer had to supply for the Disco - roof rack, 'roo bar, headlight and bonnet protectors, mudflaps etc -on time
Kaymar rear bar, wheel carrier and jerry can carrier - 8 weeks
Black Widow Drawers - 8 weeks
Longer Range Automotive fuel tank = 14 weeks (gave up on that one and had one custom built)
3 stage, 15A battery charger - 4 weeks
Shurflo 100psi 12V water pump 20 weeks and counting
And my 2005 Mitsubishi Pajero that I am desperately trying to sell needs replacement breathers for the fuel tank - 4 weeks
In fact I have never been able to walk into my local Mitsi dealer and get something on
the spot - not even fan belts!!!
The video camera we are taking - camera available immediately
Bigger battery for camera, tripod, wide angle lens, battery charger, memory stick, carry case: 7 - 10 days (I hope).
If I had a buck for every time I've heard "Don't have one in stock mate, but we can get one in...."
I could go on and on, but I'm winding myself up just thinking about it and it's only half past six in the morning. I don't want to completely stuff my day up.
