Nope. Just the nature of the 3.0 and 8 speed.
I’d still fit it, even if you leave it on low settings.

Todays tranche :
- Drop oil
- Drop coolant
- Replace oil filter
- Replace entire fuel filter assembly
- Replace EGR coolant supply line
- Remove coolant bottle
- Remove FBH
I'd do the HPFP twice before I attempted that bloody EGR supply line again. The drivers side was fairly easy. The passenger side took hours. Probably would have been faster to take the top control arm and turbo pipework off.
The fuel filter was a challenge to remove, but I modified the new one by removing a corner of the bracket before I put it back and it was dead easy to re-install.
I'll clean and service the FBH tonight and see what tomorrow brings.
My hands are telling me I've not spun a spanner in earnest for a couple of years.
I couldn’t get my fuel filter assembly out working under the car on the ground. In the end I replaced the sensor on it in situ and this resolved my ongoing “water in fuel” error. That was a couple of years ago.
The trick was to “significantly compress” the old one (bend the base up to clear the crossmember). Given it was coming out I wasn’t particularly gentle with it. By squeezing the top and bottom I bought enough space to wiggle it out. I was just about to drop the crossmember and thought I’d have one more go and it wiggled free.
Mine didn’t have the sensor at all.
Tombie, all the talk about the steering wheel and you didn't even clean it before its debut?!! Shame on you
[QUOTE=Naps;3064774]After the last couple of camping road trips to Lightning Ridge and most recently a few weeks travelling around Tassie... poor 3G/4G reception in fringe areas (especially down Tassie West Coast) was a pain. Particular in providing internet for maps, wikicamp and appeasing SWMBO. So I installed a Cel-Fi GO 3G/4G Booster in readiness for an extended road trip up the East Coast to the Cape and back down through central Q'Land, NSW and into SA. Pretty straight forward with a roof mounted 6/8Db Blackhawk antenna.Rhino Rack adjustable antenna mount.
Have seen several times on the AOR Owners Forum where a number of people have had failures with the Blackhawk (Truckers) aerial. I suggest you consider replacing it, or carrying a spare, from GME or RFI for when it fall to pieces as they do apparently. One guy had several replaced under warranty and gave up in the end and bought something else.
cheers,
