According to haynes it's on top of the fuel tank accessed via the fuel pump / filter access port under the rear seats. Also suggests that you might need to drop the tank a bit to get at it :x Paul might remember as he fitted a replacement arm....?

A look at the Fleabay sensors for sale shows the massive cable length!

well,the car has cost me a bit recently.........£ 327 on the radius replacement kits and fitting plus 70 for a new battery.........put it in for mot yesterday and...............wahey, passed needing just a side light bulb........not sure why they issue a refusal for an mot due to the bulb, then replace it and print out a pass sheet? dunno but happy to say it passed easily, and the emissions were spot on.....guess that's down to very regular servicing...anyway, happy now,car mot'd till jan 15 :-D

because they are not allowed to do any repairs in the MOT test, so it has to be put down as a fail,

this is the reason MOT's were computerised!!!!, to save trees :? :? #-o :roll: :wink:

ha, nice one malcolm.....seems silly doesn't it?? it's fine i guess if there is a lot of work needed but issuing a refusal seems petty and as you say, a waste of paper....ended up with three pages stapled together if you include the emissions pass sheet......still, glad it's passed.......I did put pics of my C5 on here, I wonder, as the passenger side has some dents, will one of these dent pullers pull them out? there isn't any broken paint??

Only just picked up on this thread, and noticed that you are not far from me, might be worth a mental note in case you have more issues. To be fair, you got a good price for the arm bearings.
