2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Zermatt Silver

3 months travelling around Australia

Well after 3 months holidays - which wasn't long enough - I have taken almost 5000 shots and have loaded a scant few on my flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmdigital/col...880431025/

We drove around Australia, including taking the ferry over to Tasmania. We had temperatures from below -10C to above 46C, snow, hail, rain, storms, backing heat, etc, etc. At the end of it the Puma had done another 25000km mostly towing a 1.5t off-road camping trailer. I can recommend it to anyone as something to do. 110 2.4TDCi
110 300Tdi

I was going to do an oil and filter change then drive a couple of weeks and do another (also that will give me time to order in another filter). Is there another approach I could take? 110 2.4TDCi

I use an engine flush to make sure any crap has been washed through. 2.4 90 XS

Great photos. That's some rig you're towing! One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS
