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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just wanted to thank many of you for your posts about changing the electrical portion of the ignition switch. It was very tight under there and hard to get at the switch, but as you all said, it was doable. And it saved me a huge amount of money compared to what my dealership wanted. The part was $23 and took me and my helper (my great wife) about 90 mins. It’s always such a nice feeling of accomplishment. But I owe the thanks to the Forum and you guys!

POST 3Original post

When do we get to see pics of your new ride? You know what they say: Pics or it didn't happen.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Terry - sorry, I thought that I sent you you some pics soon after I got my car. But happy to post them here!

POST 5Original post

Nice car! Were the bumperettes painted from the factory to match the body of the colour specific to SE Anniversary models? Or did you paint them yourself?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 614922

Thank you. They are factory painted and meant to highlight the Anniversary Edition.

POST 7Original post

Thanks for sharing that piece of information. I did not know they were unique to the Anniversary Edition. Learn something new every day!
