Ah coolio, will break out the soldering iron and magnifying glass tonight then :-)

Cheers for the response dude, I suspected that myself. So ran the mrs's hair drier over the pcb.. Think I will give it another go and see if I can get a bit more heat into it..

Hi all, Changed the battery in my key fob as it was getting a bit temperamental as to when it would lock / unlock the car. And now it doesn't want to work at all.. I get an occasional flicker from the led or if it is feeling fiesty the led will stay illuminated, but do nothing to the...

Valid point of the quality of the parts. I have been looking at kits for £180ish mark, and known brands too, so would opt for those.. Will make a few calls and see what I can get in terms of price.. Cheers for the feedback everyone..

Hi folks, How long is the book time for changing a clutch on a V5 (170).? I have heard astonishing prices being thrown about, so was going to get one and pay a friendly mechanic to carry out the work for me.. Cheers..

Southern Ireland is The Republic Of Ireland..!!!!!!!

I would have thought that they would.. Given that the cars are identical up until the rear end.. Am sure someone will confirm for sure though..

I had he abs sensor on my V5, also kicked up the TCS light as well... Was a nice easy and cheap replacement, they are on the left side of the hub as you look at it.. Behind the disc.. I cant remember the socket size off the top of my head, but get a breaker / extention type bar to make it...

Wire brush it and then PLUSGAS it.. Done mine last month on the front, came off a treat..

My N/S/R caliper was prone to sticking overnight.. A quick clean up and all has rectified that..

Running lean is indicative of a faulty Lamda Sensor, not sure how many the LCR's have but am sure someone will come along soon. Would probably benefit from a new set of plugs to rule out those too..

I would defo invest some, and is roughly similar in price to WD40. The creaking could well be the top mounts starting to perish. It could be as a result of all the pulling and what not, but could just be one of those things as well..

What Slimy said. Plusgas is amazing stuff. You will wonder how you got by for so long without using it.. Give it a good scrub again with the wire brush and a liberal coating and leave for a good few hours whilst it works its magic.

You can get these from the likes of Halfords etc, they come in all sizes and also in varying materials.

Have you tried resetting the ecu since the new plugs / leads etc.? Mine was a tad lumpy from cold after a service in the summer, reset the ecu and all sorted itself after that.. Cheap easy fix, if it is that..

Fitted and fixed.. The drivers side was the culprit, but I have replaced both as it is an easy job to do.. Whilst i was under there, I cleaned up the ABS Reluctor Rings with a wire brush.. I now have ABS and Traction Control.

As above really, however I would seriously recommend getting a piston wind back tool, they are less that £20 and make the job so much easier and quicker.. Plus reduces your chances of damaging the seal..

Ordered 2x front abs sensors.. I will chuck a how 2 together when I come to fit them on Saturday.

Cheers slimy. I will have a look when I get a chance, I think I will go ahead and order what I have found. Thanks again bud.

Morning all, Happy new year to you all. I am finally getting round to getting the ABS fixed on my V5 Tolly, as due to a change in Job, I rarely use the car these days, so I really only use it at the weekend, and maybe one evening during the week.. So the necessity hasn't really been there...
