Re: Immobiliser

Just a little clarification on what you have done to get it working. I think you have replaced relay K51, the relay that feeds power to the Power Control Module , everything 'engine ' needs that , to work.

Re: Cambelt Pullys 24V

Why are you having all this work done at 19k miles ? What makes you think 'something' will go wrong if you don't have it done ?

Re: Cambelt Pullys 24V

For Simps , this is easy , unless you are low-profile , then give up , go to a fitting bay. First , check the valve is good , then, Wheel right side up , brush real soap/water round the rim , then again round the tyre rims. Check rotation direction of tyre , then angle it at about 45 deg and keep pu...
