Thanks for that recommendation Steve!←Much betterJust make sure you tell them to call you before doing any unscheduled maintenance, so they dont go flushing your brakes or adjusting your hand brake without you knowing the charge. And try to deal with a bloke called Matt, Scottish guy (I think) he is a champ Oh and write down your Odometer on a piece of paper and leave it somewhere in the car like the cup holder.Let us know how you go.

People go to a dealerships with pre-conceived ideas, so everything you don't want done..write it down and leave the note with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I won't have the vibration but we will see!! I'll probably fit the springs myself as I've always want to learn more about mechanics etc. My mate has the required tools and knows the basics (ex mechanic) but I would like to know any special pointers for the XR6T. If there is anything I need to know please shed some light!!! I know LeighD did this himself too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngy Member 293 Member For: 19y 1m 16d Posted 27/06/06 07:49 AM Share Posted 27/06/06 07:49 AM I'm still alive after about 2 hours of solid thrashing the ute. 6th gear wheelspin rocks! It's actually a lot more drivable now even in the wet. I had to get the fuel economy back to 18.9L per hundred as simon gave it back to me at 14L/100 grrr. Any way 2hours later and its back up there how I left it so I can rest easy now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
