[Jmac]

Hi Guys,

With Remotegts' permission I have updated the first post with the list of problems and resolutions (if we have them).

If you could post things like;
Eg. 3MPS Gearbox "wong wong" noise -> (Penrite SYN 75W-90)

That would be great!

Also if there is anything that needs to be updated in the first post/changed (Or any suggestions) please let us know by posting in the thread!

Hi Guys,

Have done a big cleanup on this thread, lets try and keep this one on warranty claims to help other members with the same issues.

This thread is for matching symptoms to fixes for everyone's benefit.

If you need assistance with a problem here or have a new issue you need help troubleshooting please post in a open thread or create a new one.

i have a noise coming from front right. kind of a kncoking lose noise.
makes noise when going over bumps and little to no load on engine. also when turning sharp left makes a doonk doonk noise.

what could it be? its not the shock as everything is tight and good there.
could it be an engine mount? or steering rack? lose swaybar? gonna have another look this arvo just checking if anyone esle has had this problem

nasa, I recently had my windscreen replaced and the blokes who replaced it said the new style of replacement screens have changed to the european style? which basically meant the black part at the top of the glass where the mirror glue's on is now gloss black instead of a matt finish which meant the glue doesn't take very well.

took them an hour and countless attempts to finally make it take !!

so anyways thats probably the reason.......

not much help but thought i'd share!
