Grab the latest Bodsys Brake Bible : https://media.disco3.co.uk/gallery/a...le_V1.4sml.pdf and have at it.

I used to do this every 10k service. Based on my lack of use/wear I now do it every second.

Not sure if its relevant, but I have version 1.6a dated August 2011

I found the downloads page on the disco3.co.uk site, but V1.6a won't download, just gives a 404 error.

I'll give it a go from the V1.5 that Brad linked.

My D4 performed flawlessly.
We'll have to go back next year.

It looked very scratchy going towards Toolinna. Have just ticked through 2000km on this trip and heavy rain forced us out of the Esperance area. Last 400km stretch from Albany today. No bongs have been released from the dashboard.

Incredible mix of beaches, tracks and trails and ever changing vegetation. It was 5 days before we hit bitumen again and not see another group until Cape Arid.

Buy the book Challenge in Isolation by John Bridges for background on Balladonia to Israelite Bay region.

We were incredibly lucky as the tracks and clay pans show signs of being immense bog holes but we went through after a long dry spell and now it’s wet again. It would be easy to get trapped out there.

With fully fresh suspension the Disco was an absolute beast wherever we pointed it.

I think we go the best day of the year at Point Culver and Bilbunya literally no swell and offshore breeze.

With one car having Starlink mini we went from a single telegraph line at Culver Pt in 1877 to full internet in 2025.













What a difference a day makes

I wish the D3 had a more efficient way of telling me a brake light has failed rather than a full blown Transmission F fault and list of error codes causing a mini depression. The fault goes away on restart but only today a friend driving behind me told me light was out. I recall it happened several years ago also.

I thought it was only the 04-06 cars that did that,ive had blown globes and only realised when i saw a reflection while reversing or someone telling me and no faults or messages.

That was full Christmas tree on the dash but somehow the initial blown bulb trigger like a brake switch fault which was what my first thought was. The puters don’t like it but later cars mask it better or stop it cascading into dropping suspension or the like.

The fact like 99% of upmarket vehicles there is no bulb blown indicator shows how tricky all the interconnecting systems are.

IIRC there was a software update for the ABS ecu to stop a blown globe from being broadcast as an ABS fault.
