They only did the one, I mentioned about then doing it in pairs and they said that my other one was fine so no need to change it. Fine by me as it saves me some pennies. Shock was £44 + vat and then an hours labour at £33 + vat. That's was a independent garage.

Just a update to let you know the out come. Been in the garage today and it turns out to be my shock absorber, they said it had completely gone. All fixed and sorted now. Thanks for the advice and comments

Will try and get the cap off later. Glad to know they won't completely fail. No warning light as of yet but you never know it could come on any time. Fingers crossed I can get it booked in asap.

Had a look at the brake fluid level and it is hard to make out where it is. It looks to be on the minimum line but I am not sure. The cap has a sensor connected to it. Does this need to come off before you take the cap off? Going to ring the garage Monday morning and hopefully get it booked...

Thanks guys. Will book it into the garage Monday morning.

Also what is a good make to go for? Don't want to spend a fortune but don't want to pop on any old crap. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Don't suppose you know how much that would cost to do?

Noticed a few drops of oil on my drive way yesterday. When I looked under the car I noticed that the (bare with me if these are not the correct names for the parts.) spring, suspension (the thing that compresses) and the big black metal arm that runs from the wheel had traces of what I think is...

Yeah will do. Seems like it should have one, as I mentioned it has the alarm button on the drivers door, the red flashing light on the dash when locked and would it come up with errors on vcds if it was not installed? Would you get errors for cruise control if you did not have it fitted? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I am sure it gas an alarm (it has the alarm button thing in the drivers door. Took it to a member on here who said it was already activated to beep when I locked it. I will try the window thing today.

Still puzzled with this one guys. There must be a vcds wizard out there that can understand these codes?

The thing with car paint is that there will be variants of the same colour. I am a paint Sprayer and what you have to do is check the colour code and if it has variants eg. Lighter, brighter, yellower etc then you have to take the swatches or do spray outs and match them against the car to find...

Anyone with a knowledge of vcds help me out here before I melt in my car!

Anyone?

Any ideas at all on these codes guys? Thanks
