| If you decide to do this I’d suggest a tennis ball on a piece of string suspended above the door to remind you. It would be a disaster to forget! |

My car is due a service and timing belt change.
Any recommendations in West Yorkshire or reasonable distance for a reliable indie who can do this and update topix?
Thanks |

I’ve had the code P9234-77 and the throttle body butterfly is sticking, so I’ve ordered a replacement.
Do I need to code it in?
Will an Autel AP200 do the coding?
Thanks |

It’s part of the lower control arm. You’d normally replace both sides. I did mine after watching a couple of YouTube videos and buying some tools. You’ll need:

Dull result!
Removed the lower tailgate trim panel, lubricated both ends of the strut, as much of the pivot as I could, the ball end at the body attachment, both hinges. It’s now working. |

Hi folks
My lower tailgate has started playing up. About half of the times I close it the right hand side doesn’t lock in and I have to give it a push. Is this a known fault? What’s the fix?

I’m going to take the drive shaft off and replace it. I should be able to tell if it was a new one or if the garage ripped me off. If they have I’ll try a credit card charge back on the ... |

Sorry for the long post.
I drove through France last week, and after a rest stop going round a roundabout I heard a clicking noise, sounded like a stone in the wheel, video attached.

| Are you testing the battery directly, or via the under bonnet terminals? Maybe it’s an earthing problem. A common fault are the earth straps behind the splash guards |
