Prior to heading into Mexico we stocked up on a few spare parts for the Wee Rover’s diesel motor; oil filters, fuel filters, etc.. One of the items was a set of seals for the used turbo on the motor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After travelling from Oregon, down the length of Baja, and traversing the mountains of mainland Mexico, the seals on the old turbo began to leak a bit of oil. Every so often we would leave a small white cloud, or a small puddle of oil (even by Land Rover standards!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we arrived outside of Oaxaca to \u201cOverlanders Oasis\u201d, our latest camp spot, and we find a true overlander’s oasis. Calvin, the owner, noticed the few drops of oil, and he asked about it. After a quick talk, Calvin, states, ‘my turbo guy can install those seals if you want’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we pulled the turbo, and a neighbor, Antonio, was gracious enough to offer us a ride to drop off and pick up the turbo. The next morning the new seals had been installed, and the turbo was ready to go back in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the old parts are ready for recycle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
