Man I tol u not to buy them funny import springs. you should have got those local guys in Otahuhu to make them.... :lol:

Maybe you picked up a stone in the spring cup. It used to happen on gravel, that and getting a stone stuck in the caliper, so it grinds every time you press the brake pedal.

Be interesting to hear what Mag & Turbo find... Apparently my neighbour over the road owns one of the franchises, or is a partner in the whole biz or something.

Hmmm, fitting was not too hot. 3 of the 4 are not seated correctly! Two are not rotated correctly so now the end of the spring is not at the end of the cup, and one has the edge of the coil sitting up on the cup lip... :(

Back to Mag & Turbo to complain bitterly I would suggest.

I'll bet they never loosened the suspension arm bolts, pulled the car up and down a bit, then re-tightened the bolts in their new (lowered) positions either... <_<

Maybe a small suspension shop that does racing cars rather than a big franchise shop that sells bling bling to the more intellectually challenged boy racers.... :P

      LS460 Folding Mirror Doesn't Stop.

      Hi. The driver's mirror on my RHD LS460 folds in and out okay, but when folding in, it gets to the stop position but keeps trying to go further, so it continuously clicks. Is this repairable, or will the mirror have to be replaced? Has anybody fixed this problem? If so, how? Cheers.

      Carplay issues with iPhone IOS 18.1 making & receiving calls

      Just wondering if anyone else has recently encountered the following issue: I have two phones now running with IOS 18.1, an iPhone SE and iPhone 16 and they both are having the same problem, i.e. when making a phone call, the party I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. I first encountered the problem with my iPhone 16 and at first thought it was the cable connecting to the USB-C on the phone. I went out and purchased a wireless CarPlay adapter which circumvented the problem. However today I needed to connect the iPhone SE and it too got the same problem in that when making a phone call, the person I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. Checking sites in the USA it appears to be a common problem. UPDATE: The problem did not exist using IOS versions prior to IOS 18

      Driving Light

      Hi Peter, After taking onboard your suggestions and a few good nights sleep to mull over options the new driving lights are installed and working. No holes were drilled into vehicle but I did cut a small slot into back of the larger plastic fuse box cover/lid to source power from jump start terminal. (12v battery is in boot of NX 450h+) The wiring was a little fiddly but not having to take the dash apart was a huge bonus to installing the XBB kit. Was able to ‘reuse’ relay base from wiring harness supplied with Ultra Vision lights. Fitted a 20 amp inline fuse as lights draw 13.2 amps total. Smart button works a treat so can have high beam on without driving lights. So glad that I found this forum when I did, Neil
