Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Last week, the day before we were due to be driving from Sydney up to Ballina, the rear brake pads started squealing a bit more than I’d like and on investigation they were a bit low so I decided to replace them. I was busy at work and nearest (and of course most expensive) option was to pick up genuine pads.
All very routine until I tried to connect the new wear sensor. Just would not slip in nicely for me and is a bit hard to see where it sits behind the airbag. Finally I used a fine tip to scrape some dirt out of it, followed by contact cleaner and a blow with compressed air and it slipped in cleanly. Wasted a bit of time on that little foible.

What light mount are you using or did you make your own? I’ve heard that the ‘of the shelf’ version needs reinforcing

Looks sweet with the dark windows and wheels

I have the Prospeed mounts and they don’t need any extra support, very solid. My lights are not that heavy but I think larger ones would still be fine.

Thanks. Where would you mount a uhf antenna and sand flag? Trying to decide if I actually need a bullbar or not

You can mount a UHF antenna to the roof rail or rack.

Sand flag could also be mounted in the same manner with suitable attachment - for this one I would recommend cross rails as the flag is subject to quite a bit of force.

I have the aerial mounted on bonnet and sand flag on roof rack. Details in my thread (link below) but also in quite a few specific threads over the years.
