Removing broken abs/speed sensor on touareg
Got an ABS fault code, which turned out to be front right wheel sensor. These are supposed to just undo the retaining bolt and slide the probe out of the hub, about 25mm of probe I think? But I guess 10 years of crud build up and heat cycle means I can't get it out, and the electrical connector part has broken now as well meaning nothing to pull it out with by hand really. The probe is sticking out about 5mm, but if I clamp with pliers or grips too much that will eventually wear down to nothing as its plastic. I had thought about a self tapper, but not sure I can get it started without pushing the probe further in if it starts moving, and possibly giving myself more ball ache having to remove the whole hub assembly and take it apart? I could maybe heat the self tapper up and melt it into place with a couple of turns and cool it off before pulling? Anyone got any tips or experience having to do this before?

Classic and Sports Cars by the lake 2017 - Bury St Edmunds
Last time, I think we all applied individually, but mentioned the club on the application? Can probably all do the same thing again, and I will send a covering email to let her know that.

JAE 2017 - Discussion
Went to the reps meet today, saw the layout, got the lowdown on whats going on. The space allocated for us is ok, fairly central to the action, no problem here. They seem to be trying harder to keep people entertained, and utilising a lot of the indoor space for show'n'shine and other special activities. Guessing it might still be a lonely place to be on the club stand at the moment though :-/ Also, Sunday clashes with another local event now.

Classic and Sports Cars by the lake 2017 - Bury St Edmunds
I have been emailed about this event again, on 3rd September this year. Apart from being a bit chilly last year, I enjoyed this local show. It clashes with JAE, although that doesn't seem to have much interest again this year.... Register your interest here and I will send off requesting for 10-15 cars I think.

Free TT hardpipe kit in blue
i might not be able to get a picture in time for the closing date, but in a similar position to Stephen, would replace the silicone ones that are already installed. also, don't have a sob story, but could start a similar thread with the ones i replace once swapped, which are perfectly fine. a bit of charity regurgitation :lol: aka hand me downs

18" OEM 300ZX Alloys!
They only look ok if pointing the right way, IMO, like the first pic of Ali's, otherwise, as Andrew says, the wheel police will have to make an arrest, as the wrong way looks horrid.

Steam Cleaner
or use a household steam cleaner instead of a commercial one, which may take a bit longer, but you probably only need it to remove the stuff that TFR or similar (M/cycle brake/chain cleaner is good) doesn't get off first?
