Re: 2014 CRD GL Rim advice

It is my understanding that most of the aftermarket rims are much weaker than the OEM stuff.

I had a set of A-Lines years ago. They pretty much all got bent.
Not sure if there's any good way to know before one buys.

Re: My nuwe ou Patrol 4.8 GRX 2011

Peter, we've always used ORRA frequencies on the river trip and other day trips. Are you possibly getting your VHF and UHF mixed up? You are correct. What I have is a Zartek Bosvark RTS, which is a UHF radio. But when I got it (I think about 8 years ago) I could speak to almost everyone in the conv...

Re: My nuwe ou Patrol 4.8 GRX 2011

Arno, I am by no means an expert on radios, but this is my opinion: I have a VHF hand-held with an external booster antenna. NOTE this statement is incorrect, my radio is a UHF! The last couple of years I have only been able to talk to about 3 guys. Everyone else has moved to UHF. So if I was going ...

Re: Lubrication Points On 4.8 When Servicing

Interesting. On mine there are most definitely nipples in all the U-joints. I don't think it's possible to feed a U-joint grease from the shaft either. At least not without significantly weakening it. Did somebody perhaps remove the grease nipples and fit a plug instead? Although I can't think of a ...

Re: Lubrication Points On 4.8 When Servicing

Same as on the GU. Three on each prop shaft (one inside each U-joint and one on the spline/slip joint.

There may or may not be nipples on the four tie rod ends.

Re: 4.8 GRX Sunroof Switch

I guess the issue is probably the same as we have with the window winder switches, and a bit of cleaning and re-greasing will probably solve the issue. The plastic gets brittle though and it's hard to open the switches without breaking them. I believe Ant heats them up with a hair drier beforehand. ...
