WHY?
WHY?
Looking good m8Enjoyed the sunshine and a beer or two while I resprayed my replacement wing mirror. Thanks @clocky280 for the mirror View attachment 5147View attachment 5148View attachment 5149
It's ok I stuck double sided tape on the bricks,so no damage to paintwork. I have fitted a rail on the roof for the Drive away awning and didn't want to screw it on so used a very good adhesive Sikaflex 252 and used the bricks as weights to hold firm until hardened. Sikaflex can be removed if need be any time. I'm going to fit another rail on drivers side also, then got option to which side I want to fit the awning. I've now removed the bricks and it looks good, I'm very happy with the result.WHY?
Good price for the cats @Chris T. I should have waited lolHad cats decored today, took about an hour and cost me just £45
Only job left to tick off is undersealing, which will be next week.

Richard, couldn't you swap the sensor and coil packs from your white one and see if that solves the issue, be cheaper than paying for a reader.Took the silver Elgrand for a nice cruise to Bad Bentheim (Germany) and on the way I noticed the same hesitation I felt the other week! Feels like a miss fire and then all of a sudden everythings fine although I am pretty sure I can also feel a very slight surge around 120kmh. On the way back it did it again but this time it came up with the Engine Management System warning light and message and now the EMS light is on the dashboard constantly!
Does anyone know what this might be? I was thinking could it be one of the ignition coil packs breaking down or possibly a cam sensor? Also I now notice when starting the vehicle it doesn't fire instantly
Think I am gunna have to order the Carsoft i903 Reader to read the code! Grrrrrrr

Love the beer and wing mirror not a combination I have seen before,!Enjoyed the sunshine and a beer or two while I resprayed my replacement wing mirror. Thanks @clocky280 for the mirror View attachment 5147View attachment 5148View attachment 5149
I would firstly try and scan for a code Richard before going any further albeit I suspect it could be a coil pack possibly breaking down intermittently. Sadly though or unless you can get them tested by an auto spark you'll end up buying a full set of 6 and or a cam sensor.Took the silver Elgrand for a nice cruise to Bad Bentheim (Germany) and on the way I noticed the same hesitation I felt the other week!

I would not be without my cruise control which I also had fitted and bought from a guy who sells the kits out your part of the world.Got the cruise fitted today , wow it sure makes for relaxed driving now i dont have to concentrate on holding ella to 100kmh .
Plus , even tho the 80k drive home from the auto elec is basically all up hill fuel economy has improved from 8.4 to 8.8 thats 24.85mpg and with 2 audlts an a staffy onboard too , very happy as 98 octane is now AU$1.68 per litre here.
The new woody leather wheel is on now and it looks GR8 , just waiting for the matching gear knob to arrive here anyday now. Pics when it does.
A set of polished SS door handle covers arrived too but i dont like them , they sit up proud on the edges they dont fold around like i expected so i didnt fit them . ebay here they come !
FunFun
Richard , if you want to read codes, i got the NDSII app from google playstore ($9) for my galaxy , it will read and reset codes plus it will reset the TB too so no peddle dancing. It also give info on timing ,airflow , injectors ,temp etc, looks cool too .
hope this helps
Well today have finally prep’d one rider alloy and it looks the bollox. All chrome removed with wire wheel brush and sanded down with wet/dry.
I then preceded to strip the remaining 3 alloys of chrome and washed down. Prob another 4hours on each wheel before paint time.
@Richard Fox this is a mamouth task and would not recommended it. I can now see why they charge so much to chrome a wheel.
