I have just taken my car to get some more work done to the exhaust

droped the car off in good working order

they did do some welding on the car with one of those spike preventers on the battery

went to pick the car up and got told it would not go into gear

i took it for a drive and got 100m up the street when a ABS light and 4WD light came on the dash

the A/T light did come on for a bit but went out again

we put the car on the hoist and had a look the transfer case was red hot like it had been slipping

I think they have spiked the ATTESA computer causing a fault where there is no direct drive to any wheels? maybe

it is in a auto workshop at the moment so fingers crossed its not to bad

any advise on what could be wrong would be a great help

ecu reset, just pull the negative lead off the battery - depress the brake pedal a few times to drain any residual power - leave it a few minutes then reconnect the battery lead.

if it still throws codes, then you will have to start chasing the problem.

i'd be trying to think of a cause and effect scenario - so, the fact that they were under the car working on the exhaust - i'd be thinking of things under the car - like maybe they've knocked a plug loose in the side of the trans?

after a trip to trans shop and auto sparkys which was all goo

the problem seemed to be that when they had it on the 2 post hoist apparently the LHR axle had fallen out of the diff

i do find this hard to believe but have order the circlip and seal for the axle and booked it in to get the diff looked at

Didnt see this before, knocking WA. You can talk dick licker. SA is the city of churches and pedophiles. Usefull comments would be more helpful dont you think. Oh thats right you dont read or think so scrap that idea. BTW some ppl like their autos and im using a GTS4 box -not building a track car here. :P

Big Jim take it to someone reputable, i can suggest a handfull and dont let some halfwitt fck with your car. Even better DIY. :blush:

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
