My Landrover threw a fetlock this morning :cray:
This is the first time I have driven my car in a couple of weeks and there was some nasty noises and vibration coming from underneath the car as I drove it into town today, Mrs Trout has been using the car while I was away as she has had an op on her foot and cant use the clutch in her car ( Mine is auto) She told me it had been doing this for a while now :dash1:.
I took it into the Landrover Shop in town and I have to have the transfer case rebuilt and my fancy fan decided to kark it as well.
The bill is Just over $2200.
At least Mrs Trout's foot is better now, Which is just as well because she will never get the keys to my Landrover again any time soon :nea:

Sorry to hear that Jim, but $2200 is not too bad when compared to
some of the transfer cases I have sold for Landcruisers.

Yes I agree , For the work being done I think it is very reasonable .

Me Too :good:
We are going to wait a month or so and make sure everything is Rinky Di with her foot then we are off to Coral Bay and other destinations north to escape some of winter for a few weeks.
I even bought a special step for her to make getting in and out of the Van  easier

I have just got back from town, I had to get some postal supplies.
When I got to the Post office there were Police everywhere, the place had just been robbed.
The girls were pretty shook up but as far as I know none were hurt.
We don't get much of this malarkey going on here and it was a bit of a shock to find out that it happened only 10 min before I got there.

Someone must have found out about all those coins they handle for you.
Seriously though, it's no joke, those staff members could be traumatised for a long time.

I picked up my Disco today on Quote and 2 days early.
They did a great job on the car and also renewed the exhaust gaskets and studs for free.
Our 2006 Toyota Hilux is a nice Ute but after driving that for the last few days it was lovely to get behind the wheel of my Landrover again :yahoo:

Yeah,local PO on the Central Coast(NSW) got robbed back in the 1980's,guy i played Golf with had a sawnoff shotgun stuck in his face.Fella had it in a sports bag,he was ID from tattoos and Police went around and arrested him that afternoon.
Friend was on sick leave for some time and then offered a settlement of $20,000(IIRC) by the PO which he accepted just to put and end to everything.
It didn't work,20 years later he wakes up in the middle of the night with a shotgun in his face,ruined his life.
I realize now what some of our Soldiers with PTSD are going thru.
