Both edges of this stick up ever since it needed a wiper arm repair last year and it's been getting on my tits ever since. What would be the best way of getting this to stick back down without being too rough? Or do I just discreetly silicone it and ignore?

Really?? How so?

Looks like it is indeed the sensor, or certainly the circuit and hopefully just the sensor itself...-

Does the cruise control not get affected by and ABS sensor issue?

Trophy came out the garage yesterday after having sat since November, pleased to say the engine is running sweet as a nut but the orange 'SERV', ABS and traction control lights are all lit up. I've left my bloody icarsoft in the Jag which is away getting fixed so any ideas what the likely...

Cheers. They're outrageous value these days (especially in 4.2 guise) when you see the prices many other performance cars somehow command. Totally unaffected by inflated covid pricing.

From the other week, currently on its winter boots. Even with winter tyres, 90kg of weight plates in the back was needed to get back up my road/track...

Enough experience has led me to believe that tyre fitters who do everything absolutely spot on are a minority.

FYI camskill have a Michelin offer on until end of October.

Thanks, that would make sense given where I found it and what they were doing. I wish people paid more attention to what they were doing when it comes to reattaching seals and trim!

Tricky to make the part number out in the photo and I can't remember what it looks like in person- does this ring a bell with anyone? Not sure if it's for something behind the scuttle panel? The car was in at the welders recently and they ended up fixing something in the wiper mechanism while...
