    Lost boost!

    So replace the exhaust pressure sensor? Eurocarparts don't sell them, so how would I go about getting a rough idea of price for one? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    child lock seized

    how hard are glow plugs to change on a scale of 1-10?

    Think when Nigel checked it, it had 3 open circuit fault codes (or something like that), no problems but with glow plugs being cheap its probably better to just sort it

    how hard are glow plugs to change on a scale of 1-10?

    With only a Haynes manual and limited amount knowledge is this something I should be doing? I actually want to start doing some jobs myself but is this too deep for me?

    Damage to door mirror

    Came back from shopping to find this lovely mess... indicator light still works fine, but the back of the case does feel alittle bit wobbly. Could anyone give me a rough guide price for getting this fixed? Cheers Gaz
