i was with Western QBE , but met a broker at a party who said he woiuld do some homework ........came back 3 days later [ i thought he was full of piss n wind] and gave me SHANNONS quotes they were cheaper than my QBE rates , the only thing they did was come out an photo my rig and ask for all mods ...

This guy hasa them on there all the time , from the questions he answered of mine he makes them .
The last aution it went for over $230

Yep after 12 years of Rover's getting cheezed off with electrical crap , oil leaks poor build quality constant breaking down fuel injection drama blah blah and spending a squillion on them i sold up and hunted around for 2 months , found a 2000 GU 4.2TD with 39k on the clock .
After having series 3 ...

Because I can't afford $2400 - $3900 for a long while unless a rich aunty dies
Springs and shocks should cost me around $1200 , i have limited funds at moment and the post box full of bills

Thanx heaps guys , will contact Dobinsons and see if they have a dealer over here or freight costs .
I had Kings in my previous 3 4bys and was never 100% happy with them .

Thanx heaps for the reply ! I will have a look around at poundages then on the linier .I like the Tuff Dogg but the wire is huge and they say they are "stiff" so will have a look into Kings and Lovells , I think thats about all we have over here .

A Patrol won't drive well or handle well without "progressive rated springs in the rear " .

Hi to all , looking to install front and rear Detroits next Thurs ....
my questions are
1. did you notice adverse affects in steering once in 4x4 , moving in rutts and rocks?
2. has anyone had drama's with cv's once the Detroits were fitted up ?

thanx in advance

Thanx viper , he went up to Balcatta today and forked out the $$$$ and then some more ! He brought front and rear Detriot lockers and a twin tounge air comp , but hey he works away in the mines he has the cash - read jealous as hell - .
His GU goes in Friday morning for its transfermation

Hi to all ,
I have changed ranks from Rover to a 2000 GU 4.2TD ST and have never been happier !
I fitted up Kings 50mm over linier fronts and progressive rears with long travel Koni shocks and find this a good set up for the touring that i will be doing , but a mate is on his way up to Opp Lock ...

If you have put in a "new " radiator and thermostat and thermo fans , you may have an air lock put your Rangee on a hoist with the front wheels only and lift up and remove the radiator plug and run engine till operating temp and see if bubbles come out .
Another poss may be a head gasket so check ...
