Re: sad safari.....

Solved my sad safari issue. bought a 2006 Patrol instead :D 4.8 litres of petrol guzzling power! tried it for the first time yesterday towing the boat, did it well, not overly fast, but keeping up with traffic well.

Anyone want to buy a safari? All the important stuff has been done!

Did you machine or replace the discs? If not, the pads will be flexing when you push on the pedal, giving you that soft feel. Can be dangerous as pads can get damaged if the flex is too much.
