Quote from: robstevens on October 05, 2024, 03:40:42 PMI've been tempted to build in a small catch cover, so that items inside cannot jam the catch shut... Will consider it again now!

Let us know how you go as I can see that gear inside the hatch shifting around could cause this to happen regularly

Update: got it sorted. I think something inside was wedged up against the inside of the door. I pushed on the door and twisted the handle, repeat, repeat and it eventually came good.
Thanks all

I did slide the kitchen side out to see through but it looks like the compartments are divided? I'll inspect further this afternoon

Tvan Tvan / Storage hatch door stuck

OK, post 2  ;D

Our 2011 Mk3 Murranji arrived yesterday after being flatbed-trucked from VIC.
Everything seems OK except I cannot open the storage hatch on the RHS - the one opposite the kitchen.

It has a lockable turning latch and a standard non-locking hatch. It unlocks and they both turn freely but the hatch won't open, it feels like either:

* the front non-locking latch inside has come away from the latch handle, or
* something inside the hatch has moved and is stopping it from pulling away to open.

Any ideas on what to check and do before I try to remove the hinge pins?

Cheers

Tvan Tvan / Towing with an Amarok

Hi all

This is my first post (I think), we pick up our new-to-us 2011 Murranji this afternoon after it being trucked up to Gold Coast from regional VIC.

We have a 2021 V6 Amarok Highline with the OEM towbar. Other than swapping out the ball for the DO35 hitch pin I wasn't going to mod the suspension in any way until I'd done a few short trips with it, and maybe only then some Polyairs to keep the rear from dropping too much and affecting handling.

Does anyone else tow with a stock V6 Amarok and how do you find it?

Cheers
