Stripped my van to bits looking for the cause of my radio interference, it used to be perfect but any other station but radio one and I get awful interference! Am I right in thinking the aerials are in the wing mirrors in a 2014 maxi? Cheers

I fitted my lowered adjustable drop links from Road nutz...What a difference!

Set them up as per some youtube blokes last night and talk about night and day.....Obviously, no more clunking on small bumps, but the van feels planted on the straights and the corners...,..so smooth! There is obviously no pre-loading on the ARB, so it is able to do the job properly.

best mod so far 😁

@grunt
Safe way to do is just make sure

Wash car using two bucket method

Take small piece of clay and make flat and soft by rolling and flatten with your hands

Using same soap and warm water
Soap up the area and keep clay flat with no pressure just do a couple of passes and rinse of soap with water

Very simple to do and no need for elbow grease or exspensive pruducts to remove tar etc
