They have done a good job, especially considering the condition it was in.The guy said if he had known the amount of work involved he would not have taken it on. Now I can start to sort out a few other jobs like the whine coming from the back axle somewhere and tidy up the inside. I might change the wheels. Those Modular wheels haven't lasted, the paint is coming off them. I'm looking out for something better.
Did you sort out the vibration? Mine still has it at 65-70 and I can't work out what it is.
I'm still on the fence about whether to take my defender or the CX-5 on this trip. The vibration on mine isn't that bad, but is a constant worry. It has had new bearings and swivels and discs and it still hasn't sorted it. So I guess mine is either half shafts, diffs or gearbox.
I've had this vibration problem for a while, even before I went on the Morocco trip. Crossing the Sahara didn't break it.
Cheers. So we are a convoy of 3 so far.
All of the channels will be empty so we might as well stick to 21. We call always change if we do experience radio traffic.
Err................Mitsubishi Delica. Unfortunately, Landrover don't make a 4wd van suitable for a camper conversion so it was a choice between the Delica or the hugely expensive VW synchro.
No..we'll be in the Defender....its got its hardtop on at the mo but we are thinking we may put its soft top back on...it will be summer after all & as organiser you will have arranged the guaranteed sunshine!! ;-)
Watching............
