And ShitFit will know how to get extra out of said corporate.  For example, claiming this tyre was unrepairable, so have to fit a new one.  They probably make a few more quid on the tyre than they do on a puncture repair.

Funny you should say that, when I eveballed it, it certainly looked repairable, but apparently it was not  .

I wonder if they're more cautious about repairing EV tyres due to the weight of the car? 

Green machines!

Got to hand it to them though, they had the correct one in stock, and looking around the place they carry more tyres on the shelves than probably every other tyre place round here put together. Again, I wonder if this is something to do with their corporate gig...

I would urge the OP to carry a spare sensor in the boot, along with the torx socket (E8?)!

I used to do that & when the CSS failed on my Omega I presented the recovery driver (there was snow on the ground & I had a caravan attached to the back of the car) with a the boxed sensor & told him the fault! His reply was ... 'no one has ever done that before!' 

Am booked into hospital for a camera down my neck in the morning because doctor has concerns from a chat we had, was booked in at 8am,  so whilst on the phone to ask about something to them and it seems they had changed my appointment and no one has bothered telling me.

Could be worse Skruntie. Could have been up your Chinese eye or the other side.    Joking aside, hope it all turns out well for you. 

Had the camera up the trouser snake a few years ago.

Yes, but that wasn't a medical procedure, that was a trip to Thailand....

Ahhh, that sweet sound of XP booting up with an old mechanical disk drive

It says:
Attach oil filter housing with a new seal (the large o-ring between housing and block) and tighten to 45Nm / 33lbft

The leakage have bee somewhere for a while. Found also O-ring for crank sensor. When I put the canister back to block what is the tightenin toque of the central bolt?

Let me see if I can persuade my last remaining laptop running TIS to boot up

bit late now but i was going to suggest not disturbing the crank sensor unless absolutely necessary !
i beleive it's the cable that gets brittle and fails on them

Additionally, I think oil leaks in that area speed up the cable's demise, base on my own personal experiences.

Feels odd doesn't it. Like pissing broken glass afterwards.
