Towbar
Hi I'm looking to fit a towbar, Google advises that as there is no weights on the vin plate then the vehicle would not be insured should anything occur, my insurance company isn't bothered at all and advised it does not affect my policy if I tow, any information please also which towbar do I need, eBay seems to carry 2 options

Speed sensor
Still doesn't work, the speed sensor fault appeared first so I think it might be related, begrudgingly I have purchased the official wiring diagram and service manual, waiting on delivery from Japan

Speed sensor
Help!!! My hybrid brings up an EMF fault once it goes over 20mph, code relates to a speed sensor fault but my local garage who are hybrid specialists and generally very good are struggling to get any information, they believe the fault may be a gearbox speed sensor but access is restricted, the fault only appeared when I changed the head unit but not sure it's related, anyone got any ideas or information that may help, car drives exactly as it did before the fault occurred.

P0500 vehicle speed sensor
Thank you it does correspond with me removing the stereo to replace it with another unit which subsequently came with the wrong harness, if it plugs into the head unit how does effect a stereo change ?

Various speeds above 30mph

Cruise control
That's interesting as the instructions say push down to engage, up to accelerate and resume and pull forward to cancel, I will try it again tomorrow.

Cruise control
Hi I purchased a cruise control kit off the usual sites, standard fit to the steering wheel, all screws and fixings as advised, 2 wired from the unit to the car, live wire into the multi block connector next to the blue wire, black wire spliced into the earth wire, cruise control turns in but will not activate, what am I missing or is there something else I need to connect to ?

P0500 vehicle speed sensor
Hi I have had this fault since I removed the centre cowel to fit a new stereo, I think it relates to the gearbox speed sensor, can anyone confirm advise differently please.
