Well done Stephen on getting the DIS out.  I will tackle most jobs myself, but doing this is something that I am not too confident about.  I doubt that I would have tried to be honest.

That crack is not helping things!  Tipex is great for marking leads, I have done this many times in the past t o great effect.

DIS isn't hard, just fiddly.  Even easier if your toolkit contains a 'Tunnie' - as this is an automated tool that does it while you sit back and drink tea... :)

Thanks for the kind words, chaps

OK...so Vx part number is 90541062 for Bosch 0221503017. Gonna try and get one locally first - speed of getting the car on the road is a little more important than cost (but only just)

Dug the Fury out the garage this morning to get to work - had to push the Omega out the way first, though (god these things are heavy).

Not a too bad once you get going!

Well done mate, again as TB said, think how much money you have saved. That £160 labour charge can go into your beer fund now  :y

Got one from the Bracknell Stealer.... £148 inc :(

Means I can fit it tonight and hopefully have the daily driver back on the road :)

PS above part numbers are spot on...

Vx Part# 90541062
Bosch Part# 0221503017 -83Z (not sure what the 83Z signifies)

Yes - but I'd rather spend the money and have the daily driver on the road tonight. New pack is on my desk as I type this.

The Fury is  a little Lairy for cold/wet weather driving has no heater and is not very watertight. This on its own doesn't really bother me too much as I love driving it, but it isn't too smart to drench a laptop...

Many thanks for all your help!!!

Feels quicker than it was, but will be much better when I've changed the oil and air filter...

Still wouldn't call the 2.5 performance rocketship, though - but then my other car does has sub 5sec 0-60 performance...

Please to hear its running as it should now, and all in all, not a difficult job.  Easy £160 to put towards something else then :)
