It's been 10 days, need to see another video! LOL

Oh hell yeah! My kinda project! LOL I'm really excited about this as I've always pondered about it. I would for sure love to do such a project.

Here's a interesting/depressing pic showing compatible alternatives.... of which there aren't many.

Cool, thanks. I shall try that next time.

That's not right, they won't fit at all. Different PCD. The GS's have 5x114.3 which is not all that common. You can get Rivera RV177's in the right PCD, however, as these are off an Audi, so the stud pattern of these is 5x112.

So this works until you next unlock the car by pressing the unlock button?

Nicky, that's a fantastic outcome!

Coming together nicely buddy 👍

Not to my knowledge.

Yousaf, if you search ebay for TechStream, you will see that you buy it as a USB to OBD dongle plus software. You need a 32 bit Windows OS equipped laptop (to make it less of a headache with getting the USB serial drivers working), install the software and drivers on the laptop, connect the OBD dongle to car and to PC and run the TechStream software. Have a look at this video, I've not watched it (I'm at work) but it seems to show how you how to connect and use TechStream

My tyre pressure warning light has come on several times in the last week, although admittedly it does seem that the rear offside is losing some tyre pressure. I pumped the right tyre pressure into it on Friday and yesterday the light came back on. So I think I've got a slow leak as opposed to a TPMS issue. YouTube is your friend, I've had a quick glance at this video and it seems pretty informative. You can get TechStream hardware and software off eBay for quite cheap. Aside from that, you need a Tyre guy to get the tyre off the rim and then you would need someone who can solder to solder in the new tabbed battery.

Good work John! Nicely documented too 👍

If you are only changing pads (and not doing a bleed), this should cover it:-

Hi Chris, Yes, there are some precautions that you need to take. Have a read through this thread It covers everything you need know.

Sounds like bottom end knock.
