  1. You should be able to find the correct sensor with the correct plug. The number for my 2007 was the part number that Picasso gave me. The ones with bare wires are for the sensor after the Cat.The wiring for that is quite long and needs to be connected to the old plug and wiring. I had purchased a new after Cat sensor prior to having the stainless exhaust system, but the wiring was too short and I had to purchase the one with bare ends and fit myself[the new sensor included wire connectors and connected colour to colour using to original plug. I hope this makes sense!!
  2. Hi, I have rear mud flaps, so just bolted a reflector on each.
  3. Agreed, but you will need to fit reflectors.
  4. Hi,sorry to bring up this topic,but I recently found rear fog lights to replace the ones I fitted several years ago. They fit in the rear"bumper" panel,a bit of work needed, but look nicer than hanging on the bottom of the rear bumper. The Ebay number is:- 167207466429. A reasonable price for 2.
  5. Hi, I agree with Picasso, it's unlikely you have done any damage. I agree a new tank is the way forward.Don't run the engine until you have replaced the tank.
  6. Hi, I only removed the cable from the Left hand door.The mechanism still completes the un-locking cycle,then the door can be opened manually. Hope this helps.
  7. Hi, Had mine replaced last year as part of the MOT Test[I had previously purchased the new bushes]. Labour cost sensible as always. Red Post Garage, Bude, Cornwall.
  8. Whoops sorry!! The front sensor should read 89467B. EVERY ONE PLEASE note my mistake!!
  9. Hi, the numbers I used are: Front Sensor[font of engine on heat shield R/H--89465. After cat.[next to mounting bracket]- 89465. Check the length of the wiring. When I received the new sensor the cables were too short.A set of longer wires are available with heat shrink joiners.
  10. Hi, A few months ago someone was trying to be helpful and tried to force the sliding door shut. I managed to close the door to get home. Had a real problem re-opening the door. When eventually opened, the operating cable had "jumped" the pulleys and damaged the whole mechanism and cable. We made the decision not to spend hours of time and large expense to replace all the components,so I removed all the mechanism and cables and we now have a manual sliding door,which to be honest is no problem to use.
  11. Can't remember, but if the battery is disconnected then re-connected aren't there "things" you have to do to get things like door locks and windows etc. to work??
  12. I have found a simple and cheap way of making my speedo compliant.. For just over £12, I purchased a sheet of self adhesive white stick on numbers[you cut from a sheet] and stick on the outside of the speedo head where the white marks are between the KPH numbers[Make sure you use the correct white marks] There are also stickers to add MPH onto the centre of the speedo face. The seller sends an extra set of numbers in case any mistakes are made. EBAY Number286074653037
  13. PS The stalk with wiring was at the time under £15. There are several online fitting videos.
  14. Can't believe how many posts have been written about rear fog lights/switches,since a couple of us began a discussion in October 2021! There still doesn't appear to be a simple ,cheap way of fitting, other than complicated switching/wiring. I still use the dashboard illuminating rocker switch that was fitted after export. In all that time I've only had to use the fogs twice. The best and easiest addition was fitting and connecting a Cruise Control stalk onto the steering column,wiring as described and being able to use the Cruise Control already in place. Read posts from several years ago
  15. Sorry forgot to say, I have the numbers of both sensors if required. Ours is a 2007. 2.4.
