Mark, thank you for that link, i had already printed that information and have it in the pile to take to the mech.
I was hoping that i can tell him that X make has a similar set up so that he has a bench mark to work from.
I am taking the car to another mech, a 4wd specialist. My last service from my regular mechanic has left a foul taste in my mouth. i had all the fluids changed in the car, front wheel bearings re pack etc. i checked the work when i got home and the freaking apprentice did not tighten up the sump plugs etc and now my whole undercarriage is cake in oil. i am far from happy. and the eng oil was at a dangerours level due to the leaking....
i am thinking that maybe a sensor or something has gotten coated and thus has either failed or just needs to be cleaned.
I have been going to my mechanic for 8 years now and the service has been slowly going down hill…..its a shame….
cheers
