What did you do to your Patrol today!

New Radiator Fan, Belts, front wheel bearings. Oil n filters, linkage arm things. Steering damper. Should drive good now!

I took some folks from our resort in Cana Fistula, Costa Rica to the airport in Liberia. Some very rough roads until you hit the city, but the passengers were amazed at how comfortable the ride was and how the vehicle handled the mountain "roads".

Stropp if the noise comes back double check the isolation rubber on top of the springs. When this wears to thin or isn't positioned properly etc it can cause a knocking noise in the front end.

Probable not, hit anything hard lately.

@ Stropp I have 15mm coil spacers to fit to the top of my front coils, its not a clunk but annoying none the less.
Will try and do tomorrow. back allowing

Yeah I hit a log pretty hard trying to get out of a big hole and now my steering wheel is pointing towards 11 o'clock

belt it back straight or if you know someone with a hydraulic press would be ideal.
wouldn't/shouldn't cost bugger all to straighten, fresh coat of paint and away you go

Put a 'his' and 'hers' external mobile phone aerials and a CB aerial on the top of the pod. These new 3 additions compliment my Codan NGT AR HF black whip aerial on the front of the bull bar. Tried for a pic, but the wife doesn't know where her camera is. Sorrrryyyy.
