reads90 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Well we are in Darwin and after a quick service on the 90. I found that after 15,000 miles with the trailer on (which weighs 1.5 ton). The rear front radius arm bushes are worn. Not surprising really. So off for the search for new ones. Well in Darwin Not a bloody hope. The dealership is in a Mitishbushy dealer and don't have any spare parts . Don't even think they will have an oil filter . mmm well i would laugh but it was not funny. All the other places just laugh at you when you mention parts for a Land Rover In the end of searching i found a set. They were from the Australian Army. Who have a big base up here and of course use 110, and mixtures of. Thank god land rover are lazy and use the same parts across there ranges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Used to live in Darwin myself (Rapid Creek). Was working for the NT Police for about a year. If you need LR Parts a company called (I think) Rangie Spares in Adelaide are much better than the local dealers. I ordered a new wing mirror for my Discovery and, after a 3 week wait, I cancelled it and orderd it from Rangie Spares and it arrived the next day! If you are there for any amount of time contact the Top End 4WD club. One of the members knows the guy who used to be the workshop foreman at the LR Dealer. He is a really good mechanic and doesn't charge the earth. If you get a chance pay a visit to Douglas Daily. We used to got there quite a few times. It's a great campsite and they do food.

Astro_Al Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Isn't there a fix involving kangaroo's intestines or something??? I don't think much of your outback-improvisation! You off to Kakadu? I like it there. Should be dry enough to get to most places by now. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
