Eish Jules :surprised: . Who stuffed it up and who is now fixing it?

By the way, I finally got my exhaust leak fixed this week (the flange below the manifold was totally warped). While I was at it, I had Powerflow install a new exhaust system from below the manifold to the back. Imvubu is ready for 3 Provinsies now. :thumbup:

Hi Gerrit , the chaps at GWM stuffed it up and it is now being fixed by Fanie de Beer @ Precision Auto, yip I will also need to replace my back box on the GQ with a stainless freeflow unit , R830 with 5year warranty. I trust we will see a Mkuze fieldtrip report shortly from you

Just a report back, it seems we did sort out the problem, Friday afternoon I went to the island and drove in some very soft sea sand , nearly got stuck but no knocking noise. Today on the dirt road to quarry and back I engaged 4x4 again and it was silent, also put it into 4L and drove a few obstacles and no problem of sounding as if front diff will be falling off.

Nou net my difflock uitsort dan is my Lorrie reg vir 3 Provinces
