Elgrand

Thinking of buying an elgrand from a dealer. Love the styling and comfort. I will be removing all the rear seats to use it as a 2 seater occasional weekend camper (bed and storage only no cooking, sink) for road trips and music festivals. Will be my daily drive too.  Are there any pitfalls i should know about eg parts, servicing, reliability, fuel efficiency, life expextency for engine etc. 98% of the time i will be the only occupant. I live in regional  nsw and do very little city driving. Looked at vw caddy, Citroën, renault, hyundai iload, toyota hiace but feel like work vehicles.  Elgrand seems to fit same pricepoint.

I love Elgrands. I'd be worried about how low they are being a camper from regional NSW. 

I don't know squat about them though you could ask in the General Discussion area to get more attention.

We have one. It's awesome but the Autech is VERY low. Comfy, fuel is 12 on the highway, 15 in town fully loaded.

 

Make sure you get one that is registered as a 7 seater, if not allow $1000 to convert from camper and you will want cruise control which is another $800.

      Hicas ball joint install tool

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      2 things. 1. If you're going to buy a ball joint puller/pusher tool that is not advertised as being for the purpose you intend to use it for, then it is up to you to make sure, either before you buy, or after you first try (and possibly fail) that it will work for that task. 2. WTF? Putting HICAS balljoints back into a car implies retaining HICAS, which is just....dumb. HICAS can lick my left one.

      R34 GTT Central Locking Pains

      After cleaning the contacts in the remote, if it has rubber carbon pads on the buttons, give them a little wipe with a 2B pencil to add some fresh carbon back. Just a little wipe. Not too much.

      The one door lock not working intermittently sounds odd. But for the other issues I'd suggest to clean the contacts and everything on the little board inside the fob. I had the same issue with unlock working but not lock, and that solved it. It brings such a quality of life change to be able to lock and unlock the car like a normal person

      Ok, can confirm.  if you use it like a normal human being in the real world, it works fine.  it only starts crossing wires if I keep using the fob over and over again in a very short period. So if I just chill the f**k out, it works 😂😂
