It disengages the cruise control where fitted. You will read many internet myths about this switch. When you get a new one measure it with multimeter whilst actuating it. You will see it is nothing mystical

Got my daughter this exact model for Xmas. very impressive phone

Maybe mine would have lasted with 20bhp less who knows. The torque was just too much. Clutch would spin and it simply wore out the friction plates. I replaced the clutch and had the MAP altered as I could spin the new clutch from day one. Its running around 140 now and is fine. My advice would...

Real world that's not true. Mine was mapped to 170 and had a new LUK clutch fitted with a DMF at that point. The clutch lasted 6 months and I don't do sprint starts etc. Depending on the engine type the choice of replacement clutches is limited and when I fitted the new one, nobody could supply...

Got mine from Euro Car Parts in Leeds. Rang them to order the day before and picked it up next day

£140 for an LUK clutch kit. £300 for DMF, same make. Fitted to my TDI 130 (2001) 3 months ago.

Don't know where you got that. The above is easily found on loads of websites quoting Laws. Are you saying each Jaguar has its speedo individually calibrated depending on the tyre profile and wheels fitted to the car? I doubt it. The costs would be excessive having to recalibrate every time a...

I would say your MPG is about correct, bearing in mind you have the avant and it's quattro. My saloon non quattro returns around 44mpg round town and around 53mpg on a run. Those figures dip slightly during this cold weather. Quattro Tony... you did well there mate with your Golf. I have a 60...

easy push fit. They used to even sell this on ebay, if you can't trace any locally. make sure to get the correct stuff.

That's how SD Sky works (all SD to be fair). The focal point of the picture will be good. The background does not contain the detail and looks pixelated. It saves bandwidth and money. Transmitting at a higher bit rate would improve the situation but uses more bandwidth and costs more money. In...

I didn't disconnect the battery. I disconnected the multi plugs from under the plastic cover on the floor underneath the seat (Don't turn on the ignition with these disconnected) then unbolted (4 Bolts) the seat and subframe from the floor. Getting the seat out is easy. I covered mine with an...

I had to grind mine out with an angle grinder. You need to remove the seat to do it. Once out it is obvious what the problem is. I fitted a sleeved cut down coach bolt. Pictures won't be easy with the seat in place

Suspension Arm | Car Suspension Joints | Suspension Parts for any car should be cheaper. Job is straightforward. I bought a full kit from Germany of every piece of the suspension and replaced it all in one. If I remember correctly the back upper one requires the suspension leg to be dropped to...

Not easy with no rear number plate lol

Handbrake will be seized linkages on the rear callipers. I freed mine a few times before finally giving in and fitting new rear callipers
