    • spot welded and stitch welded, will need welding  
    • Does this part of the frame unbolt? I have access to an XF roller if it's easier to just pull parts off that.
    • they aren't stuck on as well as you'd think. they should be.    if you can beat it back into position and weld it back on securely it's probably fine.  (i bent a caster rod and lower control arm once, and it didn't pull that part off surprisingly)   i'd avoid parts sold by suzuki super on ebay..  other than just cheap parts are probably crap, i'd be more inclinde to see what's stuffed and ONLY change what's worn out .
      idler arm, probably all just as crap as the next one from any brand.. tie rods usually aren't shagged, if they aren't moving keep them.. upper and lower ball joints, i've heard the WASP ones are the better cheapies. REPCO branded ones were supposedly good if you want to buy from a shop, or 555 brand or TRW being the better brands.

    • After a slight mishap with a concrete drain I've fucked up a rim with brand new tyre and my alignment so after crab walking it home I'm firing up the lemonade stand and Ill be rebuilding the front end and trying to do a diy alignment. Just one of those days
    • The following is a list of settings that can be altered, to suit personal preference -

      Disabled: Means car is in normal mode. Door locks operate in a standard manner either 2 stage unlock or 1 stage unlock.

      Enabled: Car is in taxi mode. Remote key operates in a normal manner,but operation of central door lock(CDL) switch on the ICC is different. If any door is unlocked when the ICC CDL button is pressed the passenger doors will unlock (drivers door will remain locked)


      Panic Alarm Inhibit:

      Disabled: Allows operation of hazards,horn warning and courtesy lamps as a result of pressing of panic alarm button on remote key pad.

      Enabled: Disables operation of panic alarm. If this bit is set and panic alarm button is pressed on remote key pad nothing will happen.

      Door Trigger Disable Mode:

      Disabled: Means dome lamp operation will be triggered by opening and closing of doors.

      Enabled: Opening and closing the doors will not effect state of dome lamps ie.Opening a door will not turn on dome lamps, and closing a door will not turn off dome lamps. Also key out/dome on function will not operate. There is still control of dome lamps by operation of the ICC button, and operation of remote key. This bit can be set and reset by either using the WDS or alternatively pressing and holding the dome lamp button on for 5 seconds.

    • Thanks so much for replying Dean, yeah I was gonna give that a crack in the morning & did think wether undoing the top nut & bottom bolts then lowering the jack may work.  Hopefully the springs aren't shagged, oh well to bad I'll give that ago & see how I get on.  
    • if it's an XE or XF with coil springs on the diff, you should be able to with the car on chassis stands/hoist..just undo the shocks and lower the diff down with a jack so the springs basically fall out of the way.. remove the spring and shock(air) as one and then refit the others any way you like

      i've never removed the boot hump things, but there might be enough clearance, worth a try if you can't do the chassis stands way. only 4 bolts and you'll soon find out. 
    • Hey Guy's.  Awesome Andy's amateur mechanical hour strikes again.. Was happy day's removing shock absorbers untill bearing in mind the one's I'm removing are Air shocks with a larger diameter circumference on the upper shock not allowing it to slide out.  What's next do I drop the diff & remove the whole spring 🤔  The little 10mm bolt on a sway bar coming out either side of the diff,is that what I remove? Really don't want to have to do that.  Can I remove the top  shock cover in the boot & pull out from above, oh god that's getting real amateur hour now.  Any tips cuzzie bro's from across the ditch 👀🤣   Cheers 🍻 💥
