expectations of repair costs

[GSMblue]

Silly switch, takes 2 mins to change out, cost about $25, a lot of phantom faults can be fixed by replacing it. I know it sounds odd, just buy one, stick it in the glove box, or even, as I did, just change it out as a preventative measure...

Not odd at all...I have one on-hand as well. I have other easy-fix cheap parts that are known to fail as well. I take them with me on camping trips and off-road runs.

What else do you carry?

What else do you carry?

2nd! Please do tell!!!

(Coolant) Bleeder valve, brake light bulbs, height sensors, wiring overlay for height sensors. If it's a really long trip I carry serpentine belts, coolant hoses, ignition coils. I even have a spare rear prop shaft and tie rod ends!

Basically as I've replaced parts that are still good (or good enough to get me home) I've kept them.

Now that is a hell of a list!!!

Okay, ordering my brake switch. Thanks for the advice.

Arnott does not have them anymore -- and they were extremely cagey as to why, they had discontinued them...

what the hell?! When did that happen?

Well, a couple of months ago I guess.. I was so unimpressed with the way they dealt with me, I would be very hesitant to buy from them. Shame... I'm sure they will come up with them in the future. I was so unimpressed with the way they handled themselves I would avoid going back. -- Besides -- the have never offered the rears... WHY?

Ordered OE Delphi units..
