    Leaking sumps

    PCV is used to fuel cut off I believe and its the solenoid on the back of the HP pump. If you look down the front of the engine behind where the engine oil filter is , you should see a black connector with like 3-4 pins going into a solenoid held in by 2 torx bits, I think they are like t25...

    The microswitch is in the exterior handle. Its the button you press under the rubber cover. Not sure if its available separately, but they do get water ingress into them. You'll know if the switch is working or not as you'll hear the click.

    Help!!! Problem with gear stick not going into 6th

    Well the gear selector is done via 2 cables. First thing I would do is open the bonnet and look under the airbox with a torch. You should see 2 ball joints which the cables clip on to. Make sure the ball joints are tight and that the cables are fully pushed down on them and not causing a foul...

    Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)- using different frequency sensors

    Nope! The hardware inside the RF receiver inside the roof lining dictates which frequency the signal is detected in. Sorry :( As you correctly state you need a US spec TPMS sensor.
