changed all the oils ... need not have bothered as they were all fine ... just a bit of "magnetic mud" on the front diff magnetic plug, not bad for the amount of water crossings this thing had done in the last several months.
You can follow me but its gunna hurt !

Went for a test drive on the weekend but the Alternator stopped charging and the batteries went flat.
dragged out the multi meter but the battery is missing so its a bit hard to test things out :roll:
even the pirhana volt gauge was showing 17 volts when it was really about 11.
had to drive home from Caboolture with no lights, blinkers etc ... ok when all the traffic is going the same way on the freeways but when i turned off at Ormeau i would have two way traffic so fitted a set of rechargeable LED headlights to get me home :mrgreen:
will do some testing tomorrow to see if theres a fusible link somewhere in the electrics.

Little Red performed great over the 12500 Km trip over everything thrown at it ...
fuel varied between 13L/100Km on the highway to 22L/100Km on the soft dirt of the Strzelecki.
I broke a Headlight and Mirror
Broke a weld on the mudguard bracket and headboard
pulled a swaybar bush through the swaybar eye
got 1 puncture
thats it !!
Its now been to the North, South, East, West, Centre, Highest and Lowest points of mainland Australia in less than 12 months ...
Pretty damn good for a $1300.00 Klunker
