Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Bought fluid to flush the power steering system over the weekend.

Hopefully it is the quick fix for the occasional sense of heavy steering.

Borrow one if you don’t want to spend up.

Also good for:
- screw in tent pegs
- tyre changing (with appropriate adapter and socket)

Got one thanks. I use it for the screw pegs when camping and heaps around the house

This is a known gremlin symptom of steering uni joint seizing. Not expensive.

Thanks, will also look into this too.

I am starting with the flush because the decrease of power steering is inconsistent.

Cheers

Seems we're all pretty flush at the moment - my transmission was done Thursday.

It got some TLC on the leather front. Cleaned, and then given UV shield and conditioner. Not bad at 205k...

Got home after 2100km solo round trip this week.

2186KM at a 4 tank average of 9.2L/100. Last leg of 600ks was 8.97L/100 at an average speed of 100.8kph.

Makes a bit of a difference not towing the tin tent.

Just got home after a 20,000km flawless half lap. Towing 2T trailer. Flinders Oodnadatta, Coober Pedy, Red Centre, Top End, Gulf, FNQ, Bloomfield, Elims, K’gari. All awesome. 15 l/100 measured. Love this car. Pilbara and Kimberley next year.
