Yes that’s exactly what happened. I heard a knocking and when I inspected the studs weren’t tight.
Thanks gogsy, I’ll try this. If there’s access to get to it from behind it sounds easy  ... |

One of the bolts has sheered off and typically my mot is booked in for Monday morning!

The dash warning light has been on for months, suspension fault, no special programs available or whatever it says on dash every time I drive the car within 5 mins so ... |

I looked out of the window this morning and the rear of the car was back on the bump stops just like the front has been for weeks. I wasnt sure if it was normal for it to ... |

| I’ve done a bit more reading about the recent code, I didn’t realise the compressor was a wear item. I’m nearly at 120k miles now so even if it’s not the fault throwing the code it’s likely ... |

Ok. My impatience kicked in and I drove to Halfords to get a fuse!
Some good and some bad news. The compressor now is powering on and sounds much healthier than when testing however I’m still ge ... |

Ok I done that mate.
Light come on, wiggling of what wires I could get didn’t turn bulb off.
Noise at the compressor also. Got to say I can barely hear the compressor with the cover on, when ... |

Yeah I’m driving it but only completely necessary journeys. It is rock solid, if I hit a pothole I’d do more damage I’m sure.
I found a hb4 51/55w bulb. Would that work? No idea why it has 2 ... |

Nothing suspect on the wires what I could see.
The only shop I have local is a eurocarparts and they don’t stock those fuses. I’ve ordered the pack of 5 from that link on eBay so I’ll have t ... |

Ok cool. I’ll do a check on the wiring first before I change fuse.
So all wiring from compressor and around passenger front wheel arch? Is it front n/s wheel off and liner off or can it be access ... |

Potential good news. That large yellow fuse has blown!
I’ve never come across those fuses before. At first it looked fine but on inspection it’s blown. I’m guessing any car shop will have on ... |
