El wrongo fuelio. ..el badtardo .......

I use one to keep me battery topped up when I don't use the car...Surprisingly does the trick...

Something like this try eBay should be around £10

A hand held impact driver may work too if very stubborn.. give it a good wack n crack it loose. Cheap to buy also.

Have you tried some heat on it? I usually crack em off after a good run when ird is nice n warm..comes off a treat...

Could be the bearing metal dust cover thingys...they can work loose and start rubbing on the inside of the bearing carrier....try spraying some grease in there..or try to reseat them by moving about with a screw driver or somert....

check your tyres rear... they tend to wear jaggedly due to vcu i think...mine hums to, but im pretty sure its the way the tyres have worn....I can see and feel the jaggedness.... edit: Stepping as Nodge says (just read the post properly) any more info on this stepping bussiness...

My thoughts on this is that unless you have the box/engine to a test bench it's not economical to try and diagnose the fault to sorce. That's why I presumes garages just blitz areas.ie all solinoinds, then test.. ... I just using the force belive you have a solinoid problem....Blitz them n see...

I got a set of good used solinoids for £50 from eBay.. that was all of them I only changed the duty solinoids.. All mine tested good too.... but changing them fixed me fault of slamming into gears.

I would change out ya 3 shift solinoids if it were mine..and just for good measure the 3 duty ones...in fact do them all saves you having to rebolt all those trans oil pan bolts again.... It's quite an easy job. If it's not those is start looking at the speed sensors.

I find it's usually to do with abs sensor gubbings...

Or you could take the prop off

Attach a caravan to the back of it...

You must have a good one if you can reach 70mph ;)

Maybe yours has a fault I would get it checked out ..i remember on my FL1 when I had an intermittent faulty ABS sensor..the car/ABS would not let me brake...kept pulsing when no need to in dry conditions at not very fast speeds...it though the wheels were slipping but went...It was like you say...

Sounds like original garage charged you for a full clutch job.and may have just replaced slave cylinder....

I just whacked my new studs in...it wasn't pretty but did the job..After the 1st one there becomes more n more room for the following studs....This was on the fronts tho.....not sure how the back one's work..and hope not to find out.

Bad earth on bulb could be real tail lights...mine fill up with water like a fish tank and corroded all the connections. ..I had to drill a little hole in their bottoms to let it drain out.

Mine was this Crank technics one too..no woodruff key but bolt holds it fine and I presume will only hold it tighter in time as that's the way the crank turns..ie tightens the bolt which is a good thing as I could not tighten it by hand enough as kept turning the engine over...can't comment on...
