Road Stone

I've just completed 4800klms round trip with two kids under 10. If somebody can work out a way of not getting bored then let me know. We didn't even get out of Queensland here in Oz. To get anywhere west of Brisbane you have to cross the "Wheat Belt". There's just nothing to see for 100's of K's. Everybody waves at each other, even the Road Train drivers! Below: The view ahead....and ahead....and ahead!

Well done Steve, However that ramp looks like a Ferris Bewller's Day Off moment waiting to happen Cheers, Jerry

Steve, Don't worry, my engineers report was also $600, which I raised an eyebrow at. No AQIS charge though. Cheers, Jerry

That does look quite stunning. Would look very good here in Queensland in the middle lane of the Pacific Highway!! Cheers, Jerry

That,s very interesting and thanks. Once driven I'll report back yet again. One thought, as the slave cylinder is an old BL part, can I use my Haines Land Rover manual to do the adjustment? Or am I way out of line! Cheers, Jerry

G'day Folks, As promised a reply. I have a very new looking braided pipe. Have not driven it yet but it maybe me that has a issue with changing gear. Anyway,I need to take it for a long drive so will see how it goes. Cheers, Jerry

Wow, that makes it very clear, and it does look like a pretty crap piece of pipe. I hope it is there on my car as it sounds like an easy fix if that is the cause. Thanks and I'll report back when I am back in Oz. Cheers, Jerry

Okay thanks for that. Am in country in a couple of weeks thus will have a look. I'm no mechanic to be honest but can do basic work.I'll report back what I find. Cheers, Jerry http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q73/roa...ne/302947-4.jpg Have found this pic of the car and clutch etc. Is that the red hose on the right? Cheers, Jerry

Hello All, I don't drive my car much as I'm overseas so much but a couple of weeks ago I noticed the gera change was getting tough once the car was warmed up Looking on this site it is often mention that the "red hose" needs replacing as it is a common issue. Can someone please tell me where to look for this so I can see if it is the problem? Car is a 1988 turbo Many thanks, Jerry

That is a good deal. Did they test it or just swapped it over? In three years time can you go back and get anotherone? Cheers, Jerry

They all look good!!! Are there any seats in the yellow car?

They look brilliant. Hats off to you for being brave enough to do it. I wouldn't know where to start! Cheers, Jerry

Justin, Will be interesting to see what you think of my "old girl" as I do not know too much about them. Heading to Uganda today back around the 12th or 16th Jan, depending on the Job to be done. Will call you then. Cheers, Jerry

Justin, Good to talk to yo too, sounds to me like you know a lot about them! We'll meet up when I get back. Look forward to it. Cheers, Jerry

Hi Justin, I'm just 15 mins down the road from you at Bahrs Scrub. I'll call and maybe we can meet? Cheers, Jerry
