Re: GU Y61 right tail light (no bulbs)

I found two in Arusha for less than the price of a new one in SA :) (I think about R1,500 each). I was amazed that they plugged straight in to the wiring harness and all the lights worked

The garage tried everything they could think of, different MAFs, pipes, bench test of the injectors, etc., etc. but n...

The noise was very obvious, a very loud rattle, so carrying on was not really an option. But it still took a very long time to work out what the problem was. Not ...
