Tackling all of my niggles at the moment.

I used to have one missing line on my Pod, now I have several.

What is it that actually goes wrong on these? Is there a repair as opposed to the £145ish replace option?

If not its going to have to wait a while - suspension is definate priority!!

Not too sure, don't think so though! Mines currently getting replaced whilst it's service is getting done!

I looked into this a while back and found that it is a sealed unit and is far easier to just replace. Try Racing Green for a replacement, I think they were the cheapest. Its a bit of a swine to get in and out but shouldn't take too long to do.

Get a raceproved one from Clever Trevor, in my own experience they are the best quality - not the cheapest, but you don't want to have to replace the thing again 6 months later.

I would guess that a solder joint is being broken by vibration. If so, it could take hours to find, and cost more in labour than just getting a new one. Like most other electricals these days. frown

Contact TrackVRoad, they are in contact with the lady that made them, she still does repairs, and at a resonable price.

I have had mine repaired (twice!), by Cath I believe, through Racing Green without issue and under warranty.

Will give here a call later (screen not too bad at the moment and not top of my list...suspension, paint and touch up trim are)

Any concept of price for fix? significantly cheaper than replace?
