Now undergoing surgery at the Wrights to ascertain the exact failure. After 42 years of outback travel I guess our turn had come for a full "failure to proceed" which couldn't be repaired on the side of the road.

Any way he was toad from Far north Qld to his house for no cost plus got a car rental it is only NRMA that dose it but cover done Australia wide . Garry used it a few time in one year until was told that he was no longer able to use it until his anniversary something for Oka owners to think about ...... Just make sure that you get the one that covers up to 10 ton
Cheers
Hope all goes well with you and Sandra

Have got it all out on the floor at the Wrights shed and as I suspected it was definately the torque converter that sprung a leak. It is now awaiting surgery at the torque converter place as to whether to repair or replace.

I've yet to speak to the TC bloke in Sydney as he is on hols until next week.
The TC has a minute pinhole at the point where the weld started and finished.

Thanks again to the Wrights for having us stay in the shed, very wet place Adelaide in the winter!
