Part of me wants to fit the new ones, but the rest of me says leave them until I can get the rest and then replace them when I retire it from everyday use.

I reckon a BAS remap would make it a ripper of a town car, so that's also part of the plan :cool: BV55 YZE, Fleet No 19 - Thailand 2006 Now registered as YZE 481 in Melbourne, Oztralia.

The car only got here a little over 2 years ago and really, up until this trip we hadn't been anywhere in it ! MTR's aren't available here anymore and neither is the Duratrac replacement, I'll have to import the 19" tyre from the US if that's what I decide to get for it. The alternative is getting hold of a set of 18" rims, which opens up a vast array of tyre options here in Oz. The stickers are now looking very tired, the sun here is basically making them crispy on the edges. The WARN stickers are now incredibly 'worn', in fact they're pretty much bleached white. I'd picked up a new pair from Dave at the last Land Rover show I went to (Billing I think) but haven't put them on yet and tried to get the Goodyear ones about a year ago, but I don't think anyone could find them at the time. I'm surprised the stickers have lasted 2 years here to be honest, manys the time I can barely touch the panels they're so hot. I'm considering ordering a new Defender 90 next year so I can retire Tango from everyday use. I'm just trying to get Land a Rover Australia to confirm when last orders will be for the end of line cars here, but that's like trying to get blood out of a stone, they're bloody hopeless. LRA have a pretty poor reputation for customer service so I'm not holding my breath !! BV55 YZE, Fleet No 19 - Thailand 2006 Now registered as YZE 481 in Melbourne, Oztralia.
