    ABC stop car too low warning

    Booked in locally for ABC Service and rodeo. After running it for 10 mins the front drivers side suddenly popped back up. I think it might be my bad as I hadn’t moved her for a few weeks.

    Rusted up pneumatic cylinder in boot

    No it works perfectly, but the cylinder has clearly perished. If it’s simple I’ll do it myself... I don’t sleep if I think something is wrong with her

    Swapped out centre armrest module with broken latch for a new (to me) one from the states. The old one which is cosmetically near perfect is on ebay and the spare parts forum if anyone is interested.
