    If you have no joy, you might want to try http://www.tuneparts.co.uk/odds.htm

    Got my lambda probe there - very quick.

    He says he stocks loads of odds n sods, so may be worth a go....

      My bros 95 S2 Coupe had been attacked by rodents in the past, under bonnet lining totally destroyed, injector boots, lambda probe wiring, the rubber seal that runs along the back of the engine bay, a small corner of the rad cover and the boot that covers the connector on the PAS bottle cap.You could see individual teeth marks on the injector boots
      Furry little ******s

        Yup. It's the time of year for it. They love a nice warm engine bay. You should see the mess they made of the A3's battery cover last year.
        Luckily that seems to have kept them occupied, so they don't seem to have nibbled anything else.

          After about an hour of what must have been one of the most fiddly and frustrtaing jobs I have ever done on a car I managed to replace the throttel potentiometer boot.

          Now I've come to these ******s!

          I have absolutely no idea how to get the connector off so that I can replace the rubber boot/grommit. Anyone know how?





          Many thanks

            That'll be T8e and T8f - I've never had to remove pins from them before. Have a spare loom and will have a look tonight... I suspect it needs a very small screwdriver from the wiring side to tease back a locating lug. Be careful though !
