Always happens the day you leave

Better now in the driveway than in the middle of nowhere, have a safe trip

Hi Guy's

Yes I agree at least its happened now and not later!!!!! it was great to catch up, our girls often talk about your girls and the great time they had, took me 2 days to get them back into the home schooling - they were so tired!!!!. We are still in Shepp, however we have booked the Spirit of Tassie and will leave 3/5/09 can't wait, we decided to book a cabin and will travel at night.

We are organising polyairs for the Cruiser to make life a little easier $472 fitted.

Hope to catch up with you guys again sometime.

Cheers
Caroline

Hi Josh,
Your not the only one. On the Strez the Turbo dump valve broke open towed the van all the way back to Toowoomba max speed 80km. Back of Broken Hill somewhere the Radiator had a heart attack. Two days before our Tassy trip the fuel Injectors failed. Our last trip along the Great ocean road the dash lights came on. We made it to the Auto Electrics at Murray Bridge 12.30 Christmas Eve. They organised for a new one to meet us at a servo on Port Rush Road. Had to fuel up while motor running. Kept preying all the way to Gawler River don't stall don't stall. The uncles, cousins, dad and John managed to fix that Christmas morning. Before getting to Murray bridge the air con stopped so that was my first question when the new alternator was fitted. Thank god it just didn't have enough go go juice. We have broken two fan belts as well. We always service it at 5000ks use genuine gear. Its now looking sad with the motor 320 on the clock out getting a rebuild. All these things were over the last two years. Not one of them required a tow truck just bush mechanics. I keep saying have them problems with a newer vehicle and and see what happens.Shell nearly be a new car. Weve travelled most of the 4x4 parks in Se Qld, raced in rallies.
Mind you patents will run out if our trip to the tip in July gets stuffed up.
