Couple of quick Q's about the GQ

[Ade]

What about the switch connector at the brake fluid reservoir..?

[GQPorkroll]

Yep that will be my first step. I'll go through everything tomorrow thoroughly.

[growler2058]

Hand brakes mechanical not hydraulic so fluid won't effect it. Will be the switch stuck think you'll need to remove centre console to access

yeah i agree with growlers, there should just be a switch on the handbrake lever, its prob needs adjusting.

Ok brake problem sorted, I pulled the console and sprayed some contact cleaner on it, and also topped up the master cylinder and the light is now out. It was one of the two. Not sure which one, don't care, but that's one problem down. Thanks for the assistance.

Q2:
drop boxes will give you more flex than castor plates and if you get the right drop boxes it'll fix your castor swell. everyone i know who went to drop boxes after castor plates... never went back

Q3:

I had this problem, even more so in the wet.... it's a GQ factory option. if it's not making noise, i worry :P
no but really, it's more than likely your body mounts. GQ are know for having them perish. the pain in the ass fix is replace them all.

Nizbits is prob the best place to get them as with stuff like the, gen is the way to go

i did mine with new rubber and bolts.... clunks and groaning went away

[GQPorkroll]

Clunk, they're only brakes, nothing too important! I think it was the contact cleaner as it was only down a frag, but better safe than sorry.

Yeh I found out it was a body mount Munter, I will order new ones and throw them in. Can't be arsed to do a body lift, I have rock sliders and bars fitted, plus I hate everything going out of alignment.

In regards to drop boxes, I'll go that way. They look more secure and seem to make more sense.

How did you find out it was the body mounts. Just visually inspecting them or were they loose cos i'm having the same prob with my car
