What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Texted everyone I knew telling them my cv was back together. While I was tightening stuff up something changed and the inner axel has fallen out [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

Why would you anger the spirits like that? What a silly thing to do.

We're back on the road. Anyone know why I might have lost steering fluid though? Have topped up and will go for a bigger test drive later tonighthttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...50bdd07484.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a6aa52adc7.jpg

Any leaks from the steering rack or elsewhere? Its a sealed system, so the only way to lose fluid is from a leak either at the rack end, or at the resevoir. Easy enough to flush out with a suction pump, then with the front wheels off the ground, engine running, turn full lock L to R to get the rest out with the suction pump, fill with new fluid, turning full lock to get all the air out. Check level when back on 4 wheels.

4900km at 17.3L/100km (Petrol V8 6 people towing 2T camper)

Attachment 188506

Cracked windscreen and very minor air leak in suspension (“Suspension Fault” warning after 20-300km depending on suspension height) were the only problems.

Sounds like windscreens O’Brien are to be avoided or I should remive/replace the pillar trim myself?

Parking on its roof like that probably cracked the windscreen….

O’Briens are ok to replace windscreen…I think it depends which branch / depot you go to…and what questions you ask, how many LR they do…

Insist on a genuine fitting kit be used…

Leaking at the left steering rack end. I'm a bit over being on the ground. Will call a mechanic this morning... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b53ccaa631.jpg

Not a coincidence I doubt that it’s the same side as the cv repair. The flow on effects of moving, shoving, pulling and the likes when changing the CV shaft I presume. Bugger buddy

Is it always a new rack?
