Day 92: Brisbane

We collected our new landcruiser today. It is bliss to drive. Poor old Henry, we picked him up from the mechanics and it turns out that he is definitely only firing on three cylinders.

All the cylinders were replaced in Townsville at B & J Auto and had a three months warranty, but as we were in England for the three months immediately following the engine rebuild we haven't got a leg to stand on, or four cylinders to fire on, come to think of it.

Henry will be going into storage in Brisbane for a year, he deserves a rest and so do we. Our trip wont be the same without him but we just couldn't continue to pour money into him.

This week is going to be a busy week for us and a very boring week to blog so I will save you all from the pain of having to read about how many 4wd shops we have visited and how much sorting out we are doing.

Unless of course you really want to hear about it...
