Check this out... http://www.rarespares.net.au/rarespa...cription=40165 (http://www.rarespares.net.au/rarespares/SearchPage.aspx?type=desc&pno=0&description=40165) Ive got one of those badges that Miranda has too, off Dale at Sayers for $30 and Im pretty sure he had 1 or 2 other colours also. As for which colour is which model, Id say just choose which one you like the best lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Do any of you guys still have the plastic inner guards under the front guards? I was just wondering if you can still have them if you roll the lip for wheel clearance? Also does anyone want their guards rolled cus I'm getting a guard roller.

PROBLEM FIXED all four of my indicators are staying on regardless if i remove the fuses or the warning lamp fuse , or even turn on my hazards etc etc , nothing seems to be able to turn them off unless i take the battery out. have looked in the manual and nothing seems to help. i can try putting in another warning lamp fuse but im not sure if that will fix it. so if anyone has had similar problems and solved them let me know! please!!

hey guys and girls. have a stupid question. my wagon has picked up an annoying thing ( i guess u can call it) when i turn etheir at slow speed or not moving at all the steering wheel keeps jerking... its not turning smooth as it used to... just jacked it up and found that with no load on the steering it turns mint but if i manually change the direction of the front wheels you can slightly feel it jerk... has any one had this problem before?? one person has vaguely suggested it could be the steering rack... but before i get another i wana be sure... any help much appreciated. thanks Jono
