Replaced a broken PDC sensor following Storm-Z4's instructions. Thanks !viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40568 :thumbsup: Then cleared the error codes left by the broken one and my beepers are working again :)

I did think about painting it first. But when checking all four for clicking noises I noticed one of the four was already an unpainted replacement. Seeing as no one (including me) had noticed I decided the new one would go in unpainted too

Edit to add, today I also changed my clock and drove about 50 miles with the roof down in the sun, the car just feels great. Really enjoying owning it, so much grip!
Got home a gave it a quick "dry" wash with Bilt Hamber QD and then backed it away into the garage ready for the next sunny weekend.

Error code P0171 so I replaced the lower intake boot as it had two splits in it. Car has 100k on it and the boot was hard and had seen better days. Cost about £28 from the main steeler and took less than an hour.
