JohnL Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Repairs needed Past 12 months: Battery replaced (original); HB replaced; Ebox fan replaced; ME Control Unit replaced - resolved hesitation on acceleration issue; Transmission, torque, and differential fluids/filter changed; Aux fan wiring harness and 40 amp fuse installed per TSB; R & R the steering rack and repl the line seals at steering gear; Replaced window switch. I just replaced the rear brake pads as a DIY. Shocks - Front and Rear. I already purchased SACHS with springs for the rear and Bilstein for the front. Looking for a good installer at a reasonable price. Torsion bar making noise, may need the torsion bar kit. Dealer is offering "Complimentary Spring Service Clinic", taking mine in for free visual examination. May uncover more repair work, which in my case is good since I have a few more months of Starmark left. | ||

rudeney Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Repairs needed What I’ve done this year: New tie-rod ends, shocks, new rotors and pads, brake fluid change, and an oil change. EDIT: Oh yeah, and new plugs, too! What I need to do:Adjust the rear passenger side window – it’s a bit slow raising and lowering. I adjusted it once, but it’s still binding a bit. I need to do something about the noise in the dash where the glue under the padding is loose. It’s also time to break out the touch-up paint. Otherwise, all is well.
