Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 5Original post

Hi - Sounds like you need a regulator assembly (includes cable). They are usually c.£200 + VAT fitted but the membrane usually needs replacing also which adds to the cost. They're easy enough to change for a competent home mechanic but make sure you don't do anything with the ignition if you disconnect the air bag otherwise you'll put the light on. Grant
