    Steering Rack Noise

    Totally normal for the steering racks to make noise when the steering wheel is rocked back and fouth and the engine isn't running. If you do the same thing with the engine running you should hardly hear anything ,well nothing compared to with the engine off.

    Bolts to Rear anti roll bar bushes

    Central locking unit location

    Central locking unit location

    Hi,does anybody know where the locking control unit is located on a 01 sport? I've just got the car and it only has a key so I was hoping to find out which frequency it has and then I can order the correct fob. Thank you.
