my ABS service, traction system is acting up..... okay prob a wheel sensor

Left head light sticking shut...... every now and then... PITA

Steering Collum lock is also acting up..... got stuck on me twice I managed to free it ...... so I decided not to drive ..... I ordered a bypass just waiting for that to arrive

when it rains it pours!!!

SWPS thats what you meed, same exact problem last christmas, i even dont have column lock bypass and did the sWPS, easy 4-5 hrs of job but you dont have to rush though. so far after 5k no problems.

GL and search for SWPS you get lots of info install procedure...so on.
