        • Glenn what was that red light that kept coming up on the dash under hard acceleration then would go off when coming back down ?? Or was it a speed alert or some thing although no 90 series I know of had speed alert fitted......Cheers Steve (by the way job well done, don't think my 120 would pull away from a SC 90 lol)

            Hand brake light - either it's malfunctioning, or it thinks my normal brake fluid is too low.

                Strange - they are all uploaded to the same location with the same permissions as previous images.

                Anyone else having issues?

                  • They're working now. I did a flushdns earlier as I was having issues so it was probably just me. Sorry!

                      • It's had heaps of use - Sydney to Armidale, Oxley Wild Rivers, Coffs Harbour, Byron Bay and still going...

                        On dirt it's absolutely fantastic. High speed trails can be driven like rally, low range climbs can be done in a fraction of the time via high range 1st (but downhill is just as slow as normal).

                        On highway it's been great except for a tank of 91 ULP at WW Coffs which caused excessive pinging on ascents. Topping up with BP 98 has fixed that but it shouldn't have happened given I've run ULP and E10 without issue prior.

                        Engine temperature has remained below half, or at-half despite very high summer temps, low range and air conditioning.

                        • You run 91/E10 pretty often?
                          We only use 98 in ours, sometimes 95. It costs a little bit more but can definitely feel the difference in power. Probably doesn't work out better for economy but surely it's better for the engine?

                          • Glen,

                            It sounds like you think the same as me, that the extra torque makes it easier off road, not too mention the safer (extra) performance when travelling.
