Re: Lower control arm bush

Thanks for that. I have used that procedure before, the only thing I would do different to that video is when hammering the new one on I would hever hammer directly on the end of it like that.

So what is the current software that I want to use with a Lexia3 on a 19...

Re: Peugeot 406 Idle problems

Re: Haynes manual difference

that's what the key off for 10 seconds, key on for 10 seconds cycle 6 times does, it resets the system.
