Durk, I checked all the vacuum hoses but they are all tight and connected properly according to the diagram. Still have the small misfire. Cheers McD

Thanks Durk. Yes rpm is at 750-700 but at about 900 when the ac is on. I will check for vacuum leaks again today and let you know what I find. Cheers McD

Matt, just changed them out yesterday. Yota, thanks I will have this checked out. Cheers McD

Puppet, easier said than done! I am about 750 kms from the nearest dealer. I will get to them sometime, thanks. McD

Back again All, apologies but the light (4WD) has come back on again. I had to use 4WD over the weekend and since then it has stayed on and it does not have heavy steering so maybe it is not actually engaged. Can anyone help get it switched off please? Cheers McD

Chaz, great this worked just laeving the battery off for 5 mins. It comes back on often, all three, VSC on VSC TRAC and engine check but at least I have the know how to get it off. Next one, I want to change my automatic transmission fluid and just wanted to know if this is routine or any...

Chaz thanks and will try this tomorrow. However, I filled the tank yesterday and noticed that the fuel cap and that area were in new condition. I will re-check this tomorrow amd thanks for the help. Cheers McD

CJ3, yes it drives ok and went off this morning by itself! However, I have another warning light issue. Bot the VSC om and VSC TRAC lights stay on and the engine "check" sign has came on as well. I understand that the engine light is something to do with servicing or similar? The other VSC...
