Just put this up online. If it hadn't happened to us, I would've called it a good yarn:-)

One option is fitting Cooper Discoverer AT3 275/55 20's. They would give almost as good a cushion as swapping to 19"s with 255/55 19 MTR"s - and materially better than Cooper Zeon LTZ 255/45 ...

I think there would only be a TINY market for any kind of shock absorber cooling system for Range Rovers, in Australia or anywhere else, since 99.9% of Rangies are NEVER taken off the blacktop. Even L ...

Wouldn't a simpler solution be an overheating alarm for the suspension, that alerts the driver on the dashboard display? It would hardly be a technical stretch, given the amount of tech and computer w ...

I wonder what sort of temperatures would be involved (must be quite hot for seals to fail)

It sure was hot. The oil was literally smoking as it dribbled out.

That video I posted last night should give you an idea of the shock and its positioning/dimensions, don't have any stills. I would think some kind of heat sink wrapped around it might be a start to he ...

Crossing the Pentecost River at El Questro Station prior to things going pear-shaped on the Mitchell Falls Rd.

Yeah, we've camped at Mt Hart too, when I took the RRS up there three years ago. Nice place, particularly that old homestead. Cracker of an outdoor bar. Just have to get through about 20 creek crossin ...

Wayne. One of the 'old salts' at Drysdale River Station. Bit of an outback character. "Just got back from fixin' a f*&%'n busted truck about 60 miles down the track mate. Bastard of a thing. ...

Well I wish I'd known that before we headed north. I was told several times by my local dealer that 20s were the smallest you could fit. Could have made all the difference. I aired down as much as I d ...

Oh, I would have killed for 19s. But they won't fit over the brakes on a 2012 Rangie.

Here it is before everything went pear-shaped. We took the Rangie down a very sandy, rocky track alongside the Pentecost River, at Home Valley Station, to see if we could pick up a barramundi or two o ...

The sad sight of my Rangie being loaded onto the tilt-tray truck to be taken to Broome (700km down the atrocious Gibb River Rd) and then 2,500km to Perth for repairs. LRA are footing the bills. Kudos ...
