Spread the laod133 viewsEncouraged that the load on the jack still doesn\'t cause any sink in, even in soft sand, with most of the weight of the car on it due to the side slope.

Series LR at Oil Sands Plant in Northern Canada circa 1968742 viewsThis is an end of shift picture taken about 1968 at the Great Canadian Oil Sands (GCOS) plant while under construction in the Ft McMurray area of Northern Canada.
I was surprised to see the yellow coloured Series single cab hardtop pickup parked in about the centre of the picture. I would say it is one of the few on site as most vehicles were Chevrolet's, (as are the other three trucks elsewhere in the view). The yellow painted vehicles including the Land Rover are most likely Bechtel owned - not leased - yes, that long ago now.

D3 in Kakadu National Park, on the track into Graveside Gorge51 viewsKakadu National Park is in a World Heritage area, with the entrance about 3 hours out of Darwin. It took another hour to get to the un-marked track into Graveside Gorge, which then took three hours to travel the 41km in. Not a tough track, but a series of big wash-outs with very deep and soft sand in the creek beds made driving fun. The most amazing thing, was that we had the whole place to ourselves. No marked tracks, so bushwalking involved blazing a trail using GPS and topo maps to find the way.

The start of a 2 day adventure108 viewsOverall, car performed really well in all desert conditions, but doesn't do so well on side slopes or full on straight and soft dune climbs. Find an easier approach with plenty of power on and she'll climb the sandy equivalent of Everest!
|
|
Over the sands96 viewsInitially tried the car with all up weight - full auxiliary (115L)and main (85L) fuel tanks, dual spare wheels, and roof rack. Car had a marked tendency to tail end slide when on side slopes, especially in soft - really soft sand.

Brits and their tea!106 viewsWhenever there's a problem to solve - put the kettle on. After running out of fuel, 18km from the nearest balcktop and fuel station, 3 of the team's cars waited for the return of the other two with fuel. What does one do at times like these? Have a nice tidy up inside, dust off the sand and put the kettle on for a cuppa tea.

LR3 Brake Wear Sensor Wiring1489 viewsThis 1 page wiring diagram pdf shows that both the front and rear brake pad wear sensors are part of a closed series circuit to ground.
In operation, when all is good, the series circuit is grounded and the amber brake wear warning indicator on the instrument panel is not illuminated.
When the pads on one wheel, either the left front, or right rear, become too worn, the respective sensor is "cut" which results in an open circuit condition. This causes the dash brake wear indicator to illuminate.
The circuit is like the old style Christmas light strings where one burned out bulb caused the whole string to go out.
A quick field fix to get the dash light to extinguish in lieu of replacing the sensor and pads etc is to disconnect the brake pad wear sensor and short across the two open conductors of the vehicle side connector plug. This of course means you now have a normal vehicle, one of the thousands that do not feature brake pad wear information systems.

Australia Compared185 viewsJust so that others get some idea of the magnitude of the Canning Stock Route (see RichardK's gallery). It is 2000 kilometres on unsealed roads. On top of that is the journey on the sealed roads from and to home. Japan is only a couple of thousand kilometres from top to bottom.

Almost there118 viewsAlmost at the top and still scrambling to keep momentum to reach the top of this awkward dune. The tussock grass mounds can be seen in the foreground and on the plain below and almost always made it difficult to maintain all 4 wheels in contact with the ground at the same time as keeping sufficient momentum to reach the top. Challenging all the way!
|
|
DiscoDancers Desert crossing84 viewsThe team consisted of two LR3 V8s, a Disco II V8, and two Nissan Patrol Safaris. 168 km of dune crossings over 2 days with a camp overnight mid-way. Awesome!
|
|
Flat out!77 viewsThis ascent was really soft and required full out power of the V8 to get up. At one stage the car was sliding sideways towards the camera nose directly up the slope with 4 sizeable rooster tails of flying sand. Not what the books tell you, but momentum has to be gained and maintained from the bottom all the way up.
|
|
The team photo103 viewsTaken at the finish point - just 60 km from the nearest blacktop road! A Challenge indeed, especially as at this point fuel in 3 cars was close to the red line with 20 litres of reserve between all 5 cars!
|
|
Dune Descent91 viewsNo picture seems to do sand dunes justice in terms of their scale and beauty. This was a 100 metre dune (according to the GPS track profile anyway)in the driest, softest sand that behaved like a liquid as you descend the slope. Low 1st, DSC and HDC off and feathering the throttle was the technique used and the descent happens under full control.
|
|
Pause for thought109 viewsAlways worth a look at the terrain ahead to establish the best route to use to make the ascent. Frequently the direct route is the worst, but the tussock grass and mounds on the plains below the dunes almost always prevented sufficient momentum to be gained for an easy ascent. Raw power and gritted teeth were often required to make the top on the 1st attempt.

ZF LifeguardFluid6 transmission oil.1386 viewsThis is an interesting pdf in that under the ZF 6HP26 six speed section, it provides the various automobile manufacturer part numbers for their version of the appropriate tranny oil, all of which seems to be the LifeguardFluid6 oil, ZF part number S671 090 255. Note the fine print and do not confuse it with the LifeguardFluid6 Plus oil for vehicles with the Torsen AWD setup such as the Audi Quattro, VW 4Motion vehicles and I think the BMW FF Range Rovers of an earlier time.
Also of interest at the bottom of the pdf is the recommendation for replacing the transmission oil "between 80,000 km and 120,000 km or 8 years, depending on the load." I also do not see any reference to "sealed for life" but almost as optimistic, "maintenance free" but with the proviso "intended for normal operating conditions". This would most typically be the Sandringham Castle Grounds in the UK rather than Cape York, QLD.
