Re: Handbrake Cables Knowledge

Replace all 3 because the replacements have a larger size nipple to the originals, so you have to place all 3 parts. They ate a bit of a pain to do, and good luck with the heat shield.

Re: Immobiliser issues

Alfie,
Does yours have a Bosch immobiliser, as I thought it was a later model, that has the chipped key?
You may find that it could be the CPS plug, that you just need to pull apart, give it a bit of a clean ( blown in it) and put it back together, or it could be the distributor
