[quote="Raj"] It sounds like the control module behind the glovebox. I had replaced nearly all the air suspension components to sort different issues before finally binning it for proper suspension. [/quote] Could it be checked somehow to see if it a true culprit of issues i'm seeing? Fyi ...

Re: Sat Nav unit - suggestions for replacement

Pioneer sph-da120  head unit, pioneer gm-d8604 amp and a set of relatively entry level jvc speakers - ~450-500 (if you shop around).

Hope that helps

Crankcase breather on 4.8is

Qq - what is a purpose of a crankcase breather on the car? And for my ref., if one is damaged what "issues" one could or would face in the car?

Re: Sat Nav unit - suggestions for replacement

Had another thought which may be a route in... pioneer head unit with car play , pioneer amp and set of new speakers. All in incl fitting should come around 750.

PDC error

Would someone be in position to interpret this error for me pls... eg. Is it referring to a faulty sensor or perhaps a controller? Pls advise.
