Hi everyone, picked the new rangie up today.
Seems to run ok and everything, main issues I noticed are:
gearbox seems a bit noisey when pulling off, theres a few funny noises but seems better when at cruising speed. Is there anything I can do about this ? Or is it just general wear?
We did a bit of light off roading this morning and the speedo started playing up. It stopped working, but then would come on again when I braked and then go down again when I hit the gas. Seemed to bounce around for about 5 mins like it had a mind of its own then started working fine again. We did go through some water, probably not quite to the top of the tyre but maybe some water sprayed around the engine a bit and wet something? Any Ideas?
Also the front end seems very loose and vague.. almost sways from left to right slightly even as I was driving in a straight line on the freeway. I was thinking either the shockers perhaps or the panhard rod might be not doing its job properly?
Cheers fellas!
Photos to follow as soon as I can get photobucket working again!
