    Just spoke to Nissan who advise that the engine is dumping huge amounts of oil into the back end, haven't pinpointed the area as yet, gonna be interesting

    For those that follow 4wda, the WA trips section has some good reads for previous trips we have done
    Save your money OD and just rip out the auto locking mechanism from your auto hubs, you will have 2 get out and lock them in manually each time, but would be no different 2 buying AVM manual locking hubs.

    I have already taken mine out, one of the mechanisms failed so stripped it out and I just hop out to engage now yeh I can't see why they would fail anymore than any other branded manual hubs.

    Have you read YNOTS write up re taking the auto hub mechanism out of the auto hubs???

    P.S: Sorry for the Hijack OD
