Stopped on the Sandy Blight track

Thats a real bugger, Bob. Were you able to plant the vehicle out of site, or not
possible?. I would be concerned at leaving it easily found, may not be much to come back to. Is it possible to tow it with another vehicle, at least to somewhere more secure ? I hope it sorts out for you. cheers...oldbaz.

hi bob
wasnt it possible to take out the damaged trut assembly and put in a length of block type wood to hold up the suspension and drive it out that way
did anyone really try to devise a remedy its a case of thinking outside the normal circle of thoughts
but it seems you have already left it and moved on so this advice is not much help now
cheers barry

I have just (1 month back) had to limp into Kintore with a patched up trailer. The OIC at the police (Pete) and the shire works supervisor (Steve) were terrific when we discussed options for getting to Alice. Obviously the Disco has to get into Kintore (closest point?), sorry I don't know what recovery facilities are there as I didn't need to get into that. A backload to Alice would be possibly 1 / week. I don't have any contact numbers for them on me, but they shouldn't be too hard (maybe on the Treks part of this site?) Hope this helps.

Give them a call, hope it all works out for you!

If it was just the strut then it should still be able to be driven albiet on the bump stops. What sort of Disco are we talking about D1, D2, D3 or D4??

Outback Recovery is sorting the retrieval, thanks. Being only a mere female and the current messenger, all I know is that this '03 Disco has done a helluva lot of hard outback kms and has been virtually trouble free.
Just hope it's still intact when the truck arrives!

Thanks for the help guys. Used OB Recovery. An eighteen month old Bilstein shocker completely failed and managed to get itself sideways through the spring and impinge on the tyre. Car was not even towable. Thanks Bilstein.
