Have the NT single vehicle rollover stats changed at all? Used to be good to just settle into a speed that was comfortable and get where you were going safely. Is the first bit of the highway in from Camooweal still a bit up and down?

I dont know about the actual numbers but the single vehicle rollover is pretty much a weekly event.

Well the first drive went well. about 100km round trip. A couple of fuel system air leaks fixed, ran heaps better on the wasy back.

Gotta love my rego slip...

A bit different to our rego paper's, but you have all the important details there.

Tarp on and speedo working now. Turns out the retaining clip on the gearbox drive gear failed and or came loose allowing the gear to move on the shaft and not mesh with the cable drive gear.

Mine has the blue cable drive gear but because I have a 2.7 ( ish ) diff the speedo is reading about 60km/h at about 100km/h. Does anyone know if I change the cable drive gear to the auto one ( Is it yellow ) will it be more accurate? I want an easy fix because I intend going back to a 3.08 diff when I can.
Thanks,
Cameron.

Can't you get different colored gears to suit the different diff ratios? I think there'a a whole range.

Don't know, will google it tonight. If they make the ratio then it makes sense that they;d make the gears to suit.

Try this. There seems to be driven and drive gears of varying colours.
