Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Picked it up yesterday after getting the inlet manifolds replaced. Drivers side one cracked and got both replaced at the same time. Glad i did as the mechanic said the other one looked on the way out as well. A hit to the wallet but driving home I kept thinking to myself, " This car is SO nice to drive"

Interesting. Their website only lists the Defender. Got any more info?

So up to this point I have been using the “bushbarrier” Magnet protection. It certainly does work amazingly well for even the hardest of bush scratches. However I have noticed after about two years of using them, it is marring my paint a bit. Also with the bush barriers you are not supposed to leave them on for more than a couple of days, in fact bushbarriers themselves suggest taking them off and cleaning them every day. Which is ridiculous. I have left them on sometimes for up to 2 weeks on big trips, when you go to remove them it does feel like they are sticking to my paint. So what I have done is buy the bush wraps in a five meter roll, and use my bushbarriers as a template. We’re not talking laser cut precision lines here, but more than acceptable.

Looks good, did you use Cape or Advance? I presume this is not intended to be applied for each trip instead it should last 2-5 years given the price. Any concerns about pressure washing the car and the film coming off?

This is the 10 year “advance” apparently it is fine to pressure wash, however I will just be a little more careful.

Gurus,

Did recent work to turbo pipe work necessitating remove of upper control arm and deflation of corners. On rebuild used GAP tool to reset all faults and reactivate EAS and do a calibration of all corners.

Now have persistent faults reoccurring for Normal Height Only message. I’m doubtful the recently serviced (2years) compressor has miraculously died at same time. Do the other faults hide the clue of what’s going on or do I need to rebuild compressor again??

Have double checked LHF ride height sensor connected and undamaged.

Your not the only one getting pressure increases too slow after suspension work
