Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

What I failed to notice was the left and right sides of the wheel go to different modules, so the adaptive buttons aren't seen by the audio head unit. Oh well, next time I pull the airbag out I'll swap the original cruise button module back in.

In the mean time I can pretend they are rocket launch buttons to help "calm the rage" when cut off by some nutter on the freeway.

Hey Brad, if you have worked all that out, im sure you can work out how to turn them into rocket launchers. Don't give up.. Blow those bastards to hell.

Put the rockets in the fog lights. I never use mine

They are a very good tyre and well suited to the D4 19" wheels. I'm most impressed with them, both on and off road. For serious stuff I use Kuhmo MT51 on 18" Compomotives.

Really? I swapped my worn Hankook AT tyres for the pirellis, and I hate them. Much more noise, unsettled in the wet, and wearing faster…

How are the suspension joints and alignment?

During my compressor rebuild I thought I'd pull off every bolt and cover and clean everything that was there, when I pulled the outlet valve bolt out I noticed the wear on the valve that lined up perfectly with the holes in the compressor. Obviously I didn't get it back in the same orientation. It seemed to take a little longer to build up then normal. But probably because I had the covers off an was actually listening to it. Yesterday I pulled it out again and"dressed" up the outlet valve to remove any high spots from stopping it sealing. Improved the compressor times straight away. I've ordered a new outlet valve now.

I guess the moral of the story is. If your just doing a drier service and piston ring. And everything was fine. Don't touch anything else. I never learn.

Bit more lockdown love for the D4, she's now clean inside and out for a change.

Im also fully converted to Bowden's own from Meguiar's.. Just doing my bit for Australia. Plus there clay block is sensational

Looks fantastic Josh. Fan of the Bowden's Own also...even for just the funny stuff they write on the products.

Hard to rationalise your experience being the exact opposite to mine!
