That's what I was fearing . How easy/hard to change, cost etc ..........? is it worth getting hold of a 2nd hand pump ?
What's the worst case scenario of it completely fails?
I've still not sorted the long pedal travel on the brakes yet. Just got a replacement servo, m/c and vac hose. The servo...
As per title.
I've been getting a clunking / loud clicking noise from around the aux belt/ alternator area.
When it's been on full lock, either left or right it's really loud.
This morning with the engine only slightly warmed up just turning the steering wheel slightly it was really loud...
It's the right battery. I got a Varta Silver with 52Ah.
Use code LOVE50 gives you 45% off so only £56.

I usually buy my tyres from Camskill then get them fitted locally, 10 quid a corner.
You didn't say in your original post you had access to a tyre machine.
Avon ZV7's in your size are only £49.70 delivered from Camskill , then you can fit them yourself :)
A good battery should be about 12.6v , 14.4v as yours is when it's running.
If your battery is 9v it's cream crackered.
You've done well to have it 9 years , my original battery lasted 8 years then just died without warning.
I used to use the XL 87 higher load rating with a couple of psi higher , that seemed to do the trick compared to the 83 load rating.
They still felt soft but you soon got used to the different steering feel.
When I used to run the RS3's I was surprised just how thin the sidewalls were. If you put your hand inside the tyre you could feel your fingers on the outside.
I always used to run a couple of psi higher than recommended.
I think I'll wait until the RS5's have been out a while and read some...
Will the dome not pass through one of the other holes, maybe the hole the indicator bulb is in?
The leds I put a link to are still going strong , I always drive with my lights on day and night just to alert so if the dickheads on the road that a vehicle is coming towards them lol, so they get...
That would be a good idea.
I'm not doubting what MarcB has said , there might well be some setting in clip for when you change a lambda sensor. But is it necessary to do it ? Who knows?
Any info people share on CS is always useful and people shouldn't be so quick to put down the person who...
I've owned 1*2s for nearly 20 years , first time I've ever heard of it .
If it was the case. Wouldn't disconnecting / reconnecting the battery cause the ecu to relearn the readings from the new sensor??
No need to spend a fortune, I've had one of these for years , used for soldering copper pipes. Cheap replacement cartridges.

I'd take it back. In theory different tyres will offer different levels of grip . Plus the RS5's are supposed to last 15% longer according to Uniroyals website.
My experience with the 3's was piss poor wear rate , I was only getting 5 - 5.5k out of a set on the road. So you might end up with 1...
It could be that side. I'm not saying 100% it is the ABS ring but it's quite common for them to rust or even break bringing up your ABS and service light.
The only way to tell is to take the wheels off and check.
It could even be the ABS sensor or brake pedal switch.
If you search on here you'll...
Never heard of a 9005 bulb before.
A quick look on Google brings up lots of bulbs.
They're not proper HIDs as originally fitted to 1*2s .

If these are the tyres you mean , I'm not surprised you're having steering issues.
https://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Accelera/PHI.htm 32 front and 30 rear was the recommended tyre pressure on original 182 Michelin Pe2's
I think , I'm not 100% sure though that there are different mechanisms.
I remember when I bought mine off eBay some mention of the colour of the plug and it being black.
The part number you need if you go down the eBay route is 82 002 58 328.
There are a couple of people on here breaking...
