I think Dean is back now. Larkins auto services, Deano666 on here. Quite a few people on here use him. http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=144411

Sorry to hear that, hope you get it sorted soon

I got mine done at the dealer as car was still under warranty, apparently they'd never seen a car with the problem, then when I went back a year later with the same problem the comment went along the lines of "we did one of these a year ago, don't get them very often..." Not a massive amount of help to you, sorry, but part of my problem may have been a bent prong in the connector, they are a bit fragile. Think it had been bent when I had the downpipe fitted and they plugged it back together as cel came on instantly, "that'll be the lambda sensor sir" followed by mass panic when it wasn't lol!!! It was recommended to me on here that you remove them but I chose not to, didn't look to be that much cheaper and then the possibility of other stuff to go with it i didn't bother. I can see why they're there but a bit of a PITA IMHO!

Sorry to hear that some inconsiderate ******s around! Might be worth trying a cocktail stick to apply it, avoids getting paint all over any existing paint.

Grade A and HDC Subaru are a little further a field. Not sure if essex subaru breakers are still going??? Anyone?

Sorry to hear that mate. I picked mine up from japperformanceparts the other month.

Don't think it's broken, mine's the same

Could I take a guess that you got an unexpected call with your car stranded somewhere other than their garage?

Yep, saw you come past but then everything in the outside lanes suddenly stopped Also a nice looking blue hawkeye this morning in Frindsbury.

Might be best trying to find one at a breakers?

Is HT Autos a name that gets mentioned quite a bit? Not had anything from them (yet, may be heading for a front splitter) but iirc they seem to get spoken quite well of.

Great stuff, thank you!!!! (The beam, not driving over bits of my car ) I'll see what they say. I can see the end of a beam (a bit of box section steel, looks like it runs across the back of the bumper ending just short of the foglight covers?) it looks straight but you never know. Thank you.

Fingers crossed! The foglight cover has cleaned up ok, and might I add that of all the vehicles that drove over it while it was lying in the road the only person to actually make a point of driving round it was the bus driver!!!! Might have a go at cleaning the rest up tomorrow, wont be perfect but might mean a few less people notice it when I go into work on Monday

Thanks Ian, just incredibly annoying! No-one hurt which is the main thing. My passenger reckoned she was ok and the person who hit me had her two children in the car and she said they were ok. Hoping it's just the bumper, the other car was driving from my right to the left and clipped the passenger side part of my bumper.

Just had a little bump! Tried to get hold of Keith Michaels but their claim line takes me to an O2 answering machine. I thought it was best to report immediately but don't fancy leaving all my details on what could be someones mobile! Anyone else on here been unfortunate enough to have contact them at the weekend?
