Just registered, expiry 26/03/2009.

Price drop to $600 now, but it's negotiable so throw some offers at me. These parts bolt straight on, using the original parts. The only mod you need is to trim down the standard intercooler airflow guide plastic, but if you have a front mount it wont be an issue.

I performed a little test during the week on this clicking relay situation. As the computer isn't reporting any fault codes at the moment, I figured it would be a good time to test it. This is what I did: 1. Drove to work in the moring (relay clicking all the while) 2. In the afternoon, I started the car then disconnected the fat red wire connector from the clicking relay. Immediately the 4WD light came on and stayed on the whole way home (35kms) 3. Performed the diagnostics and got code 73 - E-TS/LSD actuator motor (what's ETS?) 4. Cleared the codes, and re-connected the relay wire 5. Started the car and the 4WD light went out, and the relay commenced clicking 6. Performed the diagnostics again, this time with no codes as per before the test, then cleared the codes anyway Now from this info I deduce that the relay controls the E-TS/LSD actuator motor, therefore a constantly clicking relay signifies a fault with this actuator. Why the 4WD light dosen't come on, and/or the computer dosen't log any codes has got me beat. I'll let the dealer know about this when I take the car back, and see what they come up with. Would anyone else like to try this test and see if the result is the same?

I took my car back to the dealer and asked them to check out the clicking relay (it's driving me crazy) and 4WD light coming on (which hasn't come on for about 2 months now), but the light didn't come on so they couldn't diagnose the problem. They put it on the hoist and said the 4WD was working, so they couldn't fault it. They're not convinced the clicking relay has anything to do with the 4WD system. I am going to book it in again so they can trace the relay problem properly (I don't why the didn't this time, as it is specifically what I asked to be fixed!?), so I will let you know how it goes. I performed the diagnostics on the ATTESA again this morning and didn't get any codes this time, so I don't know what is going on. BTW: I think the pressure switch is mounted above the rear diff. It's like a cylinder shape about 3" long (no jokes OK) I think it has a sticker on the side that says pressure switch and the part no, but is pretty hard to get to. I think you would need to take the diff out to remove it.

For Sale: Genuine Freeway Dolphin Aeroform fibreglass front bar to suit the Series 2 Stagea. Is painted in pearl white, which is the only paint it's had so it would be a good candidate for a respray to match whatever colour you have. Has some minor scratches, but once the bar is fitted you don't even notice because it looks so good. Also has black mesh fitted to the openings. It is a very good quality bar (and I think the best looking), and it has never been broken. I also have the matching Aeroform grille which I can supply for free with the bar. The price is $700 $600 outright. (No exchange for standard parts, so if you want to fit your originals later, you still can). Really transforms the look of the Stagea, and keeps people guessing "What the hell is that weapon!?" just that bit longer. I am selling my car and trying to re-coup some of my costs by selling the parts I've fitted. Call me on 0412 498 155, or pm, or reply to this post if you're interested.

My 4WD light has also been coming on occasionally, mostly on these last hot days we've had. I also have a relay that clicks every 3 seconds, it's the black relay in the top corner, D/S of the engine bay. I retrieved the diag-code, and it is 77 - pressure switch. Any ideas on remedies?

Bump, open to offers also.
