| It turned out to be a split in the driver's side intake manifold, so ordered both sides, hopefully, have them fitted next week. |

Just had the front Upper control arms and ball joints changed due to a knocking noise coming from the front of the car.

This is what it looks like.
If it is a leak coming from above is that something you live with or is it easily fixable?
I also blanked off the egrs last week if that is also something to take int ... |

| I found another thread on exactly the same issue and it seems that on cruise control this dropping of a gear is common. It seems that the car tries to keep the speed more constant by dropping to 5th e ... |

3.6 tdv8. Setting the cruise control at 120 km/h, on the slightest incline the car shifts down from 6th to 5th.
Putting it in manual mode and selecting 6th, it will comfortably go up and down any s ... |

I've been driving around all morning with the 28/31 pressures and although the car feels smoother, the steering is heavy.
I am trying out a midway point between the above and the door pillar spec t ... |

I have adjusted the suspension with ... |

Although those tyres on the chart, even though they are different sizes, I would have thought that they all have the same rolling radius.
