A few independent repair shops have these computers, but I don't know how to find them. The dealer might be your best option. It would also be nice to know what set the fault to begin with. When the light is on, the airbag system is not working properly. So, got any new movies in the works? I really enjoyed Beverly Hills Cop.

For the part number, do you mean 51-717-895-241? The $5 to $6 nuts that look like mushrooms? Yes, you need them because their threaded shaft reaches down past the thickness added by the brackets to engage more threads on the strut cap. I have 6 of these that I can't use that I'd sell you if you want to contact me off-list.

When one of them slips, its torque to both is limited to that amount. Limited slip limits the slip by placing some sort of connection between the two drive axles. Mechanical clutch spring applied, mechanical clutch hydraulically applied, worm gears with high pressure angles, viscous clutch with thick fluid and perhaps even more ways than those. With limited slip, torque is transferred from the slipping tire to the non slipping tire allowing greater acceleration. This is most useful on a race track when accelerating out of a corner, it is also useful when one tire is on slick ice or mud and the other is on something more solid.

I want to replace all of the black rubber trim, i know about upgrading the bumpers but I am keeping this car all original. I have tried numerous solutions to restore the trim but none work to my satisfaction. What I'd like to know is where can I buy these pieces at a good price? Bavarian Autosport wants and arm & leg for this, so other than them.

I was sent some jpegs today showing them in action on another German car (can I say Audi ??) . Weird looking to say the least ..it has what looks like an inner core attached to the wheel (somehow !! Glue ?) then there's a spiders-web series of radial ribs that look like the spokes on BBS -style wheels, all of which attach to the inside of the tread directly . There is obviously NO air in it .The wheel in the pix is also an x-spoke style . One of the pix shows the tire climbing over a fair-sized brick with sharp edges ..the ribs and tread distort .Looks almost as if they could manufacture it by extruding (or pultruding ) through an appropriately shaped die ..just like sausage !!-and cut it off to whatever width is desired ... Weirdest thing tho is to be able to look 'through' the tire as the vehicle passes ..it looks just like a bicycle wheel in miniature ...and see the brake calipers appearing to be suspended in space at centre of the wheel . Gonna take some getting used to ... If someone has a site to display the pix I'll be happy to forward them so all can see ...

Other than the O2 sensor, what could cause this? The HC test has a maximum of 85 HC, and the car read out at 85. Thanks, Brian __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
