Hi Guys
Newbies here & we are hoping we can draw on your knowledge of LR's v G4's
We are planning an overland trip from London to Sydney leaving spring 2012. We currently have an 06 RR L322 Vogue which we planned to kit out with all equipment but we have been having thoughts if it would be better to look at another LR such as a Defender 110, or a G4 RRS, D3. We have seen a couple of RRS G4's for sale & I guess our first question is do we have the right the vehicle to start with before we start tormenting ourselves :)
The journey is still in the planning stages but we are hoping to go through Europe, down to Turkey, then, not sure how yet but into China. Then from China into SE Asia & then ship the car from singapore to Oz. Travel through Oz & then somehow force ourselves to make the return journey home (not worked out the route for this). If you were planning this type of trip would you stick with the L322 & kit it out or change it for a G4. Topics that have made us question our current car is if it breaks down, what is the likelihood of being able to get it fixed en-route? Being able to obtain parts? How likely is it that we will experience an electrical problem & it isn't fixable once we are outside the EU.
Secondly, has anyone on here attempted a trip like this? We have searched the web & we can find people who have or are doing the trip in defenders, toyota's etc but not in a RR. Does anyone have any advice they can offer :)
Thanks everyone
