Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

No worries

I was more concerned with extra height ontop of unladen roofrack. Home garage door height is tight. Extending holders sideways solved this issue…the only thing I will add is measure the bars / drilling spaces..the roof rack line is not straight, so depending how you want things to line up it will make a difference. Measure twice, cut (drill) once!!

Had the LCAs changed yesterday @ 130000K (Thnx Darren - Aztech4x4) and it steers slightly better and has made a very noticeable difference in the pulsing from the brakes as well. Looks like I won't have to change the rotors now so I can spend more time "working as directed" by the Cook....

Whole new arm or just bush? Hydro or solid ?

OME new arms. Car feels good especially when braking and tomorrow I'll be in some rougher stuff which will show if the knocking from the front we got last time out has gone.

Dropped the transmission pan to get the valve body code so i can order the separator plate and zip kit, new solenoids on their way.

Isn’t the sticker on the outside enough info?

Make sure you replace those 4 rubber joiners to valve body as they cause many related issues once they lose their seal between tranny and valve body

No, there can be multiple types depending on the valve body fitted. Done all the seals already but will check them when i take the valve body off again.

Seems like my Optima dual battery is failing. Engel starts stops/runs in very short bursts until I charge the battery or am on the road, but it doesn't hold the charge. About 6 years old now so I suppose it's done well. Any recommendations as to who north of Perth is good at testing and replacement?
Going away in a week or so and I do like a cold beer when relaxing.
