    Brake disc and pad confusion help please

    I tried that website again and worked today. Using my VIN the results are as shown in photo. Now I read that as the A2114210812 is the one for Japan, Australia and USA, with the one you quote A2304210812 is for Sport package only, so these will be the 330mm drilled discs. I read it as the...

    How does this connector unplug?

    Ok, done :D thanks for all the suggestions. Gave up picking and prodding and gave a yank upwards with pliers - popped straight out. Photo below shows what holds it in. There’s really no way to release this other than just pulling it up to release.

    How does this connector unplug?

    the car’s not being used at the moment, so no great rush. Just spending 5-10 mins at a time having a go. If no advance by Thursday then brute force will probably be the order of the day.

    How does this connector unplug?

    Nope, that’s what’s got me stumped. There is a little hole in the side of the blue bit - I’ve tried pressing in there, but didn’t do anything.
