I was going to take it up at the 3,000km service to see if there is a problem.that is identical to my situation, not good for you but sort of glad its not just caused by me f*cking about with mine. XRQTOR first time I`ve heard of a 6/4 on a ute, wish I hadnt sold me 4 pots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
