I was there when he did it.......The struts help to lift it when you are opening it, but when it closes is has the opposite effect and helps to close it.
They sort of go past 90deg then act the opposite and shut the door tight.
Hard to explain :roll: :? :?: but I thing you will understand.

Not me but some lowlife scumbag, broke into my ute and had a good look around last night, all while it was parked in my drive. I thankfully only had a Leatherman stolen, they left my $400 pair of CB-radios, and various other things.

The worst thing about it is just knowing that people are wondering around my yard at night.

Just purchased some sensor lights and security cameras.

Hi all,.
So ive booked the MN in for its 75k service. ($950). Can anyone tell me what they might do and what to look to see what they've done.
Also asked about the rear leaf spring squeaking. This is not the 1st time I've had the gromets replaced (3rd actually)

Want to have all this done as im about to drive from brisbane to melbourne, so i want her in tip top shape.
In stead of making a new post has anyone bought a foam mattress from anywhere. Planning on sleeping in the back on the way day.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Standard service + check/adjust valves, right? And, according to my local dealer, that is a physical inspection and adjustment of the valves, not just an audible check as many people believe. You're paying for the labour involved.

Been a while since I've done anything but I was getting tired of the centre consoles ordinary material covering so I got a friend with an auto upholstery business to recover it in leather and also cushion it, came up a treat

nice one Sav
I'm doing the same thing in mine ATM just waiting on the custom switches to arrive
I got sick of not having all the same type/ style/ colour, so costing a bit more.
