- VY II LX8 Adventra
G'Day All,
Recently bought a 2004 VYII LX8 Adventra. I drove it up 4 ramps today to do a full service. Have 1 or possibly two issues.
I normally drive my land rover up on four standard car ramps, in low range, no problem.
Today did the same thing with the Adventra, no low range, but has plenty of HP. While reversing up the ramps, the car wasn't moving, and I could hear what sounded like a rear wheel spin on the concrete, but no squeal. It was a shhhhhh sound. I had a spotter telling me when to stop on the ramps, and I asked which wheels was spinning... Anyway, no wheel spin. It seamed that something was slipping just happened to sound like a shhhh wheel spin on the garage floor concrete. Not sure if this is the trams slipping, something to do with the cross Trac or nothing to worry about. Does anyone have any insight?
The other issue I have, which may or may not be related, and when I test drive the car I simply thought it required a wheel alignment. But not the issue, I later realised the steering feedback was only felt under accerlation. When accerlerating their is feedback through the steering wheel, similar to the feeling when you need a wheel aligning, a slightly wobbly wheel. I pressure this is something to do with the cross track or front wheels/cv joints? Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
Also, cannot find a workshop manual for the adventra, does one exist? If not I would be interested in taking lots of photos and marking drain/fill plus etc and details/specs for servicing. Any Adventra owners interested on working on a basic service manual for forum users? Or does something already exist? Is there a dedicated Adventra section on this site?
Cheers!
