I've scraped out all of the old pointing and I'm ready to repoint. Gaps are between 6mm and 20mm. What's the "best" method, should I brush in a dry sand/cement mix or should I make a wet mix and push it into the joints? Thanks in advance.

Update: None of the breakers on eBay responded to my dm so I bought the new module from eBay, cost £87. It turned up this morning (two days early) and I fitted it myself. Car starts, runs and everything works except for radio and central locking. I've found one dodgy fuse so hopefully...

I've msgd a couple of breakers on eBay about the part. I'll see what they say and make a decision on which to go for

It's not mine, it belongs to the missus.

What's the module called? Thanks

Great I'm looking now and there seems to be a few about.

Great, thanks for your help I really appreciate it.

EDIT: I've found where the port is, so I just need to get a compatible scanner, yes? That will give me any fault codes and I can pass these on to the vehicle sparks, is that the idea? Thanks for persevering

The car wasn't starting. It would start with a jump but wouldn't start on its own even after driving it for a while with all the accessories off. I watched a video on testing the alternator, followed the instructions and the alternator seemed to be working so I thought it must be the battery...

Erm, how would I go about fixing it? The offending part seems to be "stuck" into the lead. Sorry but I'm a complete dunce at anything practical.

Update: Tested all the fuses and all are fine. Looked at the fuses on the positive lead to the battery and the STR 250A has gone. See pic. P.S. thanks for all the help and suggestions so far

I haven't checked any of the fuses as shown in the video yet. All the stuff inside the car is working. Lights, wipers, heating, AC, windows etc. all work ok. If all that stuff is working does it mean the problem is with the fuses on the positive lead?

I don't think so. It looks like this:

No, it wasn't, but the car started with jump leads. Since the 'incident', the car won't start with either battery, even with jump leads.

I've only just seen your post. That's a very informative video, thanks for posting it
