Thanks all.....

I've sort of been recording all my trips like this over the past 20+ yrs. An old Fella that we did the CSR with many. many years ago put me onto it, saying it helps in planning any future trips, knowing what sort of economy u can expect, etc....

WOW man that just has jumped to the top of the list

extremely well detailed

thanks heaps mate

Great write up Rob and what a trip! Your detail on your 2013 Alice trip report has been a great source of info for planning my (and Matt Hannas) trip to Alice and surrounds in 2015. Thank you. Hope to keep a detailed account of that trip too.

Hey Rob-macca
did you find out what happened to the alternator?
did they replace it? or fix it?

if they replaced it did they let you keep the old one?

Yes, I got on to Toyota Extra Care and told them that the Clutch Pulley failed when I was up in Nth Qld and that I couldn't get to a Toyota Dealer & therefore I had little choice but fit a aftermarket ALT. They requested a copy of my receipt, etc and within a couple of hours, I had a email saying that YES, they will supply & Fit a NEW Toyota ALT to my car, they would not reimburse me for the aftermarket ALT..... For me. this was a GREAT outcome as it will leave me a good SPARE ALT and also have a factory ALT so my Extra Care is not compromised....

Good outcome I reckon.... Just got a few more rattles that I also need to get looked at
