| 634799 | 2008-01-29 11:51:00 | Lug nut, wheel brace, meh - It looks like I don't have one . :lol: Thanks Scouse, I thought there must have been a bag of goodies that I was missing . Looks like a trip to Super Cheap either way . I only checked as an after thought from a 950 km round trip to Lake Waikaremoana . Glad I didn't need to change a tyre somewhere in the jungle :groan: Link ( . wikipedia . org/wiki/Lake_Waikaremoana" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org) to Waikaremoana info for our overseas friends who not only call a wheel brace a lug wrench , but call the glove box a "jockey box" . Now, I put gloves in there, but who puts their jockeys (http://www . jockeyaustralia . com . au/) in there? |

| 634800 | 2008-01-29 22:16:00 | Ho Ferg. Point of interest.... when you deselect the 4 wheel drive, it pays to run the car in reverse for even only a car length. The electronic selector does not always deselect. I forgot once when I had about 150k on the clock, in rough country, and although it got me home I eventually had to to have the select mechanism serviced/replaced. I replaced the electronic selector with two manual hubs on the front wheels. The service agent said that he had had previous similar problems. | Scouse (83) | ||
| 634801 | 2008-01-29 22:26:00 | *sigh* Just call it a wheel nut remover. A multi-size cross type can be bought from Super Cheap Autos or Repco for just a few bucks. I got one friggin meaty one for $7 from Super Cheap the other day. I keep it under the front seat for when, ahh, I get flat tyres...or someone needs threatening. I painted it black, it looks quite evil. :lol: |

I know to do the reverse thing, but didn't realise the consequences of not doing it. I use the 4WD quite a bit for boat launching. OT, really quite pleased with the vehicle overall, for price and quality.:thumbs: |
