If only I had a hoist as that would be a nice lockdown job.

I wanna do it just for the sake of having a look. But I don't want to tempt fate. Maybe I'll visit all 4x4

I had an interesting little fault leaving from work yesterday, started up, radio was playing, nav screen was displaying correctly then I lost audio and the display however the radio display or CD display still worked and operation of volume via the steering wheel controls. I could also still change stations, or change CD tracks or push the button to select a different CD. Just no NAV display and nil audio.

Pulled over, ran codes on the IID and nothing pertaining to it so drive home.

At home I pull the dash fuses 57 & 43. 57 was a PITFA to get at and I dropped it down into the black hole never to be seen again, luckily I had a spare 10A fuse.
Both fuses were serviceable.

Started up and it worked again!! I had audio and NAV display again. I can only assume it needed a reset or one of the fuses needed to be re-inserted to make good contact.

After 14 years one has to expect some corrosion to have developed on contacts.

That sounds like the entertainment relay.

possibly, I did not get that far into chasing it down as it came good again. If it goes again then yes quite possibly failing relay.

After anticipating rolling past 250k for a year I missed the major milestone.

Congratulations Teddy Veesux, job well done.

Looking forward to the next 250k.

Next jobs I have parts piling up for;
Oil cooler change
Thermostat change
Coolant bottle change
3rd gearbox oil change
Suspension air struts
Front and rear valve block service ( middle and compressor recently done)
Timing, fuel and accessory belt change
Sway bar bushes and link rods front and rear

Because I’m not sleeping in the back any more, I thought I would whip up a bit of rear storage.B8E98FDA-A7CB-4CED-B71D-DC0130C70767.jpg32F3E5EC-0B55-4D67-A65D-F9B507673369.jpg7CAC8F1B-E387-47C6-B249-DFF5123C29A8.jpg

Also, stole this idea from drifta drawers.

Still impressed with how cold the a/c is now that I got it leak tested and topped up during it's service, cold enough to make my hand ache the other day with the vent directed at it.
