    Hi Andy, just saw your post. If tray still not out, I'd give Patrol-a-part a phone call and ask them. Probably have to wait till after Christmas now though.

    Thanks Hodge and EddieOlsen, might have to look into this too. Maybe long-term it is the better, safer, answer,

    Hi all, thanks for the replies.
    I like the idea of drug money, but I seem to keep having crop failures (just as well two slipped through, ha ha).
    Hodge, good idea.
    Anyway I think for now I'll just...
  4. Stick with auto front hubs or replace with manual?

    Hi all,
    My 2000 GU 4.2td 5spd manual, has, or course, auto locking hubs. It seems to me that some like them, most don't. I think I'm falling into the "don't like" brigade.

    Hi mate from under down under.

    Hi all,

    Hi John,
    when I wrote NA I meant naturally aspirated, i.e. not turbo induction. If there is a NA model produced somewhere, I wasn't aware of it.
    Hope that clears any confusion. First couple of GU...
