Hey, it's a Landy..... it'll be fine and I'm sure that it was nothing more than pilot error. rotflmo

All it'll need is pulling out by a Wagoneer, a bit of a clean up, a new battery and it'll fire up again! Wink

Landies are the same but in both cases, it's nothing more than scent marking their territories. Eeker

Like someone once said, " The only interesting rifles were accurate ones." Pretty much like Toyotas. A further plus is that they don't spend months on blocks waiting for spares. Big Grin Big Grin Cool

Eish but you really know how to hurt a man! jumping

Hey, at least the parts fitted when they finally arrived.

A friend of mine just waited 3 months for an entire axle assembly to arrive from the States for one of his classic cars (I think, a Camero) and when it arrived, it was the wrong one! Eeker

God only knows what he's gonna do with it or how he's gonna get the right one! Frowner

Keeping BP going are you. They got lots to pay for, so oil spreaders are good for business. Helps on the dirt roads too, keeps the dust down. Big Grin Cool

Scriptus, Don, Cross L.....

You are all just jealous about Land Rover Defenders.... hell man at least with a car that leaks oil myself and Steve know when it is out of oil, the minute it stops leaking is the time to put more oil in......

that being said, i would never buy a cruizer to convert it to a double cab - if you buy a land cruizer then keep it at a single cab, otherwise buy a land rover defender 130

on the topic of that river, man not even a rubber duck would cross that stream let alone a land rover defender.

Aubrey, glad to see that you survived the attentions of the Hook.

Now, jealous of a 'Rover?? Just think of driving up a very steep hill, with a fairly deep, rock lined stream at the bottom, behind you, with ten German tourists on board and the friggen drive shaft snaps. And the friggen hand brake locks up the drive shaft?? These days when I see a Land Rover, my knees vibrate, I have an urge to puke and my tinnitus increases to the extent and volume to that of a Jumbo on the point of rolling down the runway.

Now if you and Steve drive your vehicles until they run out of oil, that could just explain why they spend time on blocks.

Why is a double cab necessary. Folk come to Africa to experience Africa, hot or cold [sometimes a tad freezing], shine or rain. Give them the experience without the expense

Why on Earth would a person in control of a 'Rover do something like that then?? [i.e. cross the stream] bewildered Roll Eyes homer jumping jumping Cool

He certainly wasn't the sharpest tool in the box! jumping

Joking aside for a minute, if what they said on Carte Blanche the other day was true they just let a wall of water loose without considering the consequences. Roll Eyes

Isn't that just so typical? "CAUSE AND EFFECT" are unknown to the majority. Eeker Cool

Makes you wonder what on earth they were thinking. They were asked to do a series of staggered releases AND told what a disaster they would create if they didn't do that AND what would happen if both dams opened their sluices at the same time...... and they choose the option that causes the most disaster..... AND then blame each other for it! bewildered

Thinking-that requires thought processes from an active brain. Roll Eyes Cool
