The Jackaroo overhaul

Well the Jackaroo has returned from the Holden Dealers after having all the belts replaced, the water pump replaced and the clutch and brake fluids changed.
I could not believe the difference in the way the car drives, its like a different car.
The ride is far smoother and the engine just purrs........
The brakes and the gear change is so silky smooth , its like a new car !!!!
The mechanics at Holden have done a great job and we both feel very confident in taking the Jackaroo around the country.
Time will tell but its always been a reliable car so far so fingers crossed it takes us where we want to go.

 We have been told that the front hubs need new wheel bearing and seals so that another job for me on the weekend..........another dirty weekend under the car.........excellent.

Stookie ;)

  1. Are you taking any common servicing/repair, likely to break, parts with you for roadside repairs and so you don't have to wait days for a repairer to freight in a part?

    1. We have had the electrical and charging system done and now all the belts and water pump. Brakes are done and it's just had a new clutch.
      We will be taking a few bits but it won't be too hard to get parts as we won't be too remote until we find our mojo. I've got a bush welder and I be getting some spare leaf springs and bearings for just in case.
