First time I took it to the farm I decided to check the bullbar performance on a sucker tree. Ripped out the sensor controlling the abs.
Since the Easter trip well every time it rained I got a warning light that there was water in the fuel. Got it checked out. This was hanging off
So the mechanic pulls it right off. As it had broken water off the road was hitting the sensor. Do I have to leave it with you? I asked.
Nah we'll put a new one on next service
But I hadn't done any bush bashing, stayed on the rough tracks so I wanted to know how it broke off. He gets down and shines his torch under the chassis showing me were it broke off from. And about three inches away he points out another one.
"If it was that one your car would still be sitting where it happened. That one controls the pressure in the fuel system.
I reckon that is really fucked that a 4wd ute has so many sensitive things unprotected on the underside. Should come with a warning not to driven of road, or in roadworks were stones can get thrown up.
I've asked if it can be protected and he is investigating what he described as a 'bash plate'
Any other ideas? Constructive ones please (especially you Camel)
