Re: Quick question regarding replacement ABS sensor

Yes that is visually correct, they come in all sorts of prices, the actual sensors are common it seems so you can actually get even cheaper variations normally with a different plug that can be adapted! Be aware however it often requires the fixing bolt for the sensor to be drilled out as they get ...

Re: Low Revs and Fuel Smell

The Lambda sensor can't be ruled out totally, the manual has a lot of ticks covering many different areas of the engine. Its often the problem with intermittent faults/symptoms because as soon as you start altering anything your never totally sure if its actually affected the problem or just the ...

Re: Low Revs and Fuel Smell

Looking at the engine manual a lot of the unstable idle speed faults relate to the Idle Speed Control (ISC) system starting from the ECU on pin 2W which should be between 10volts and battery voltage.
Another possibility would be for the Throttle sensor to have an intermittent problem, either in the ...

Re: TCU

It depends on the age, early machines had separate PCM and TCM in separate boxes, later versions moved to having them on one board in a single box.
I would imagine for an 02 vehicle it would all be in a the same box up under the passenger footwell.

Re: Not starting

From the video it sounds like the starter motor is working but very slowly! Likely a flat battery especially if the engine is very cold, you can see all the other dashboard lights fade out as the battery voltage falls.

Re: Cost for new rear arch repair

It varies across the country its not really practical to advise on costs!
You can get weld in replacement arches from Bongospares they are the only ones that do a correctly stamped/moulded style otherwise there are some arches that can be modified/stretched.

Re: Instrument cluster bulbs

LED's are not a good option as they emit a narrow cone of light rather than a broad width and can actually be more night sight damaging than the all round light from a filament lamp.

Re: Instrument cluster

Very likely, there are some minor variations over the years but I'm not aware that they alter the electrical connections at all. But its not something that has often been reported on!

Re: Front Passenger Swivel Seat

Re: Fault codes 10, 11, 12, 14 and 18(!?) - help needed, please!

The sequence is different between the codes, refer to the diagrams in the Members area (Fact Sheets) for the various patterns depending on year of the vehicle.
I have to say with vehicles of this age, the faulty circuit doesn't normally jump up and say its "ME", the other circuits around the engine ...
