Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Oops - a bit late!

Haha thanks Graeme. Yeah front left had snapped! Rock crawl and some winching got me good enough to get towed out

Interested to see where and how it failed if you get the chance

I'll post a picture on the other thread when I get it out. New one should hopefully be here Tuesday-ish

It is nice to have a clear view - you don’t notice how pitted the screen becomes until it’s new again.

... and you can't believe them when they say they carry all of the required clips to replace any that get broken when working on the A Pillar... O'Briens simply bog it up with Sikaflex to get things to stick back down (at least that has been my experience). At least they ensured that the heated front windscreen was wired up and working.

Extended mode and applying grunt at tight steering lock is CV hell.

'Windscreen changed at O’Brien’s. typical issues - filthy marks on interior cream A pillars.'
This is exactly what happened to my D4 when they replaced the windscreen a couple of years back. Disgusting couldn't care less attitude nearly as bad as the other mob who did it previously who ripped the side covers off with no thought at all of the damage they were doing. Bloody morons the lot of them.
AlanH.

PS. Anyway, I've just sold the D4 for far more than I would have got if I'd traded it in so thank goodness I can afford to wait for a private buyer rather than accept the disgusting valuations of car yard creeps.

I got double what the stealers wanted to pay when I sold the D4 privately in June 2022.
