Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Completed the fitting of the 40L water tank in the back of the D3. all plumbed up, and ready to roll.

Looks good, if you run a smaller more flexible hose up the top you can use them as “Camel back” style drinking whilst on the move.

A friend did this when he was touring a lot.

Hi Aussie Jeepster, looks excellent, nicely sorted. A suggestion is to swap out the worm drive clamps for spring clamps. The hose will creep (relax under the pressure of the clamp) over time and since worm drive clamps don't self tighten leaking will be the likely result. Probably just a small one but in the back of the car it's a bit of a pain.

Removed and replaced my transfer case. Didn't get rid of all the drive line play but did a little bit. Was good to get the shafts greased before they posed an issue.. added a bit to a thread about transfer cases..

As a comparison,i did my driving shift of approx 6 hours through Dalby and Moonie to St George,in the Puma.

No issues,but something i don't want to do again in a hurry.....

Seems they recon i am getting too soft in my old age...

Or too use to the D4.

We did it the week before in the 90

Started to get some throttle symptoms again which had gone away. Manageable by feathering the brake pedal a bit. I had a loose theory that it came back with it getting slightly colder in Sydney.

Antway, I installed a new brake light switch from Repco (fuelmiser csl187) since it was in stock. Had ordered an OEM but missing somewhere. Works fine though purple not blue.

Striped one of the dash fixings though. Need to check that out.
