    M1078 abroad

    Some news from the front :) Due travel limitations here in Europe the only way to get out of this crazy world is to try finding a spot where you don't see no one all day, and to find out what is important for you.

    OK, seems that I'm not alone... I immagine you start on front/back side of the drum and then the other side right? Also use the springs for holding the jack? Thank you! Christian

    M1083A1 no CTIS Controller

    If ECU is missing you should not hear relays clicking, they are controlled by the ECU. You can put air in the tires even without CTIS. If some tire loose air you need to check why, otherwise you need a lot of air due air leaks.. Christian QUOTE="Mario, post: 2322009, member: 77603"] After 6...

    M1078 abroad

    Well, I must admit that (I live in the middle of the mountains) the locker isn't funny when you need to drive a lot steepy tracks with a lot of curves. At the end of a turn sometimes gives you a kick in the ass to remember when engages again.... I do not know if I made a mistake when mounting...
