Just my two penneth worth. I wouldn’t consider this job at less than 5 hours, you need to drop the subframe, so it’s a bit of a job. An LUK clutch kit or Valeo is going to be £100 give or take tenne...

I try to avoid using the Gates kits , but this is mostly personal preference as they are usually more expensive & come with less parts than INA kits, which are without doubt the best. The INA gask...

I fitted a genuine Denso unit on a C4 Picasso this week. It’s the one with the half moon resistor integrated into the motor . C4 is pretty much the same as a Berlingo, so this may well be the unit. It...

Post: RE: Abs faulty (again)

I have a little air powered grinder, (think dentist drill). It’s great for carefully removing corrosion from the sensor groove . The air gap should be tiny, probably 2mm or less. Hope this helps.

Post: RE: Abs faulty (again)

Your discs & pads won’t be causing the issue, it’s more likely that you have a problem with the air gap between sensor & pickup ring, or contamination in this area.

We can do the cruise control activation for anyone who struggles. We usually keep a couple of switches in stock, the aftermarket ones are fine at about £20.
