We had a little mini meet in Melbourne this last Thurs evening, so the local regulars on this site could put faces to names... BKHK and myself were the only to make it as Rimini had late business commitments pop up...

I managed to get to see just how clean BKHK manages to keep his RRS, and have to syt I was very impressed! Spent the evening having a good yarn over a good curry in Brighton! BKHK has a couple of photos to post..

It certainly was very mini with just the two of us (who are not mini) but at least we managed to get together nad have a drive of each others' RRS, comparisons can be very useful. I am always surprised how well my "new" RRS drives when compared with the old one. The sun was setting and the light was getting poor but at least we managed a couple of photos....and had an excellet curry and yarn

Let's start with the basics BKHK, firstly I'd like my RRS to be reliable like yours!!!

A mixed bag today on the reliability front, but dealer did a cracking job

Irritating rattle from inside the cabin fixed, Sunroof drain tube mount replaced

Continual clonking noise when running over anything with a height profile greater than a leaf fixed , new control arm bushes and ball joints Steering much tighter to and no vagueness anymore

Fecking Audio still cuts out So far in the last 6 months, a new audio system, new car battery, new infotainment harness in the cabin (old one crushed).. is there any tech bulletins out there about radio's losing speaker volume ?? Its not only when on radio, even when playing a CD .. Another Pommie Bar Steward down under
