Thanks for the reply Yendor. Appreciate your taking the time. I seem to have sorted it. I'd already checked the brake fluid level, pads and handbrake switch. I think it was all to do with the...

Thanks Telstra,

Looks like a bit of fiddling is due :) Your specs are more what I'd be expecting...

I've got a Needle valve under the bonnet and I think a Dawes valve adjustment in the cabin....

OK I did it....

Or something like that anyways !

Cheers guys.
Still a fantastic forum..Wealth...

Yup... This is the go... :) I have the same model and I love the auto :) Looking at about $3k for an auto and converter reco if you pull it out and refit it yourself. Good time to replace the rear...

Motorbike for kids/wife ?

Sounds like a fair swap to me :)

I can count to potato..

1 year down. First service done in Jan. Almost 18k on the clock and not a single problem :)
Went with the highlander as well. 2l turbo diesel leaves my GQ for dust...
No plans to take it off...

For those requiring feedback I never got round to doing it :(
Not leaking enough to worry about.. One day....

Mine's definitely female coz it falls into the 'high maintainence' catagory :)

Seems to be doing...

OK I'll add my 2 cents worth too...

Have to admit I joined to access the manuals as well. I did download one and I'm sure its somewhere on my PC. Kinda lost it somehow..

Heya Dogman,

Lambroast is a name that came about through a drunken conversation on a camp/ski trip years ago about the riding characteristics of a mates wakeboard. One of those 'you had to be...

Hiya all,

Thanks for the kind words. Feel all warm an fuzzy inside now ! I'm on a couple of other forums (with other interests) and I can safely say this forum has been the most welcoming by far....

Tony thanks for a fantastic series of posts.
I've had my GQ for 3 yrs now and have done bugger all preventative maintainence on it. It started out as a workhorse, but now its a weekend plaything....

Similar problem with mine. Would change from first to second, but not use third or fourth. Ended up pulling out the tranny and getting it rebuilt. When we did pull it out, opened the box for a...
